I believe a jet engine can handle this with no issues. They're tested to pass birds through with no issues.

- markman 11y agoReally? I didn't know that. That flight out of New York where "Captain Sully"? made the first successful water ditch of a commercial airliner in the history of aviation had a flame out from geese, but that was an entire flock. They're so small I doubt they'd have much of an impact on light aircraft either.
