A Protocol for Bird Strike Risk Assessment at Airports
In order for airports to manage the bird strike risk effectively, a risk assessment process needs to be carried out to identify the major hazards at the airport, the levels of risk that they produce, and the most cost effective means of reducing that risk. Despite the fact that bird controllers, managers and consultants make informal bird strike risk assessments throughout their working lives, ...
متن کاملCrowded skies: Conflicts between expanding goose populations and aviation safety
We here review the collision risks posed by large-bodied, flocking geese to aircraft, exacerbated by recent major increases in northern hemisphere goose populations and air traffic volume. Mitigation of goose-aircraft strike risks requires knowledge of local goose movements, global goose population dynamics and ecology. Airports can minimise goose strikes by managing habitats within the airport...
متن کاملThe Costs of Bird Strikes and Bird Strike Prevention
Collisions between birds (and other wildlife) and aircraft are known to cause substantial losses to the aviation industry in terms of damage and delays every year. Techniques exist to control bird numbers on airfields and hence to reduce the number of wildlife strikes, but they are applied at widely different levels from airport to airport. Some of this variation may be due to differing levels ...
متن کاملIfr Operations at Non-towered, Non-radar Airports: Can We Do Better than One-at-a-time?
This paper describes a new concept for operations in non-radar “terminal” airspace around small, nontowered airports. Currently, air traffic operations in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) at airfields without control towers and radar service are severely constrained by what is known as the “one-in/one-out” paradigm. Under these conditions only one operation (either arrival or departur...
متن کاملAvian Detection and Monitoring Using Frequency-stepped Chirp Signal Radar
The bird aircraft strike hazard (BASH) is a worldwide problem to aviation, which deprives lots of properties and lives every year. Avian radar systems are necessary to be developed for avian surveillance and early warning. In this paper, the frequency-stepped chirp signal radar is utilized to obtain high range resolution for micro-Doppler features extraction by means of synthetic bandwidth. The...
