The analytical approach to ornithological collision risk assessment (the example of the «Boryspil» international airport)

The paper considers issues of interaction between aviation and avifauna, relevant in terms flight safety habitats for birds living the impact area ​​ airports. A number parameters aircraft air traffic flow significantly affect behavior diversity respective areas. analysis showed that species composition avifauna at airports includes very few fully synanthropic species, while semi-synanthropes, such as members family Corvidae, are often found airport areas and, due to their size behavior, major hazard aircrafts. variety methods assessing level ornithological proposed by researchers used some countries. authors presented a matrix method risk collisions aircraft, adapted conditions Ukrainian In particular, this takes into account peculiarities monitoring carried out Ukraine range data on may be available these enterprises. analytical approach assessment management was tested example Boryspil Airport, which attractiveness territory birds, focal need most attention during observations staff, were determined. It is necessary expand list indicators according should collected routine
