A Jetblue Airbus A320-200, registration N507JT performing flight B6-153 from New York JFK,NY to West Palm Beach,FL (USA), was climbing out of New York's runway 13R when the crew stopped the climb at 5000 feet after ATC advised there had been foreign objects seen falling off the aircraft. Tower in the meantime queried the next departure, already airborne, whether they had encountered any foreign object debris on the runway, the crew had not seen any. A runway inspection was carried out, tower informed the runway inspection that the debris was reported between taxiways L and M. The reporting aircraft, another Jetblue aircraft, advised tower that there had two pieces of debris fallen off that came to rest at the left hand side of the runway outside the edge lights. The ground inspection reported finding three pieces of metal debris medium size. The occurrence Jetblue A320 landed safely back on JFK's runway 22L about 30 minutes after departure.

The FAA reported: "AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO AIRPORT AFTER ANOTHER AIRCRAFT REPORTED SEEING DEBRIS FALL FROM JBU153 DURING DEPARTURE, NEW YORK, NY."

The occurrence aircraft is still on the ground in New York about 16 hours after landing back.

A replacement A320-200 registration N636JB reached West Palm Beach with a delay of about 3 hours.

Cabin Crew on this flight report on social media that there was a bird strike, but can't confirm what fell off the aircraft.

Replacement Debris

Yes, some Replacement Debris or new Foreign Objects :) When I do some work restoring my 1962 Volvo Amazon car, I affectionately refer to the rust that falls off as "Amazon spare parts".

More Debris

Let's hope the engineers had some Replacement Debris to install.

Somewhere, there's a mechanic doing his laundry:

Hey,

What are these mysterious screws doing in the bottom of my washing machine?

Uh-Oh! :-0

Guesses as to what.. engine cowling, perhaps. non-monitored access hatch left open.. gear doors.. gear items... will be interesting to see what it was.
