UNITING THE COMMUNITY
|
|
Regulators, industry, and service providers and bird strike
committees all have different responsibilities. However, they all share a
common objective of reducing the hazard of bird/wildlife strikes to aircraft.
This session will provide a forum for exchanging the various points-of-view.

THE GLOBAL PICTURE
|
|
|
Data on bird/wildlife strikes help to better understand the
dynamics of the bird/wildlife strike problem. This session will show
"where we are" on a global basis and provide statistical analysis
of bird/wildlife data in respect of bird strikes and observation and
monitoring of bird/wildlife activities. This can reveal trends that will
assist the community to recognize areas of concern to be addressed through various means, such
as effective wildlife control programmes.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK (Part I)
|
|
|
Bird/wildlife
strikes are an increasing safety and economic concern that has resulted in
hundreds of fatalities and annual losses of over one billion USD to the aviation
industry. This session will focus on emphasising the importance of
implementing ICAO SARPs and guidance material on wildlife control and
reduction, including defining areas where new standards need to be developed.
CAAs will have the opportunity to present their national regulatory
frameworks and share their challenges and experience.

BEST PRACTICES (Part I)
|
|
|
|
This session will focus on examples of techniques that can be
used to deter birds and other wildlife from aerodromes and thus control the
wildlife strike risk, such as habitat management and repellent technology.
Various stakeholders will have the opportunity to share their best practices
in their own reality, taking into consideration that the effort required will
vary with the particular situation concerned and the attractiveness of the
location compared to the surrounding habitat.

EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES, FUTURE TRENDS AND RESEARCH
|
|
|
|
There is a variety of existing and new technologies available
to predict and detect birds potentially hazardous to aircraft operation and
provide information to reduce the risk of the hazards, such technologies and
procedures are particularly important in dealing with the significant hazards
posed by birds beyond the boundaries of airports (Avian Radar, RPAs, Unmanned
Aerial System Approach Ultrasound, predictive and real-time detection,
avoidance and dispersal of hazardous birds/wildlife).

CAN AIRPORTS DO IT ALONE?
|
|
|
The only way to prevent wildlife strikes is through an
approach that systematically and proactively involves all stakeholders. To
prevent an accident, the approach is used to identify all of the complex,
interlinked events that can lead to an accident. Within the system, specific
responsibilities are distributed among various stakeholders - responsibilities
that are closely linked. As long as all stakeholders fulfil their roles, the
system remains intact and safety is ensured.

BIRDSTRIKES/WILDLIFE COMMITTEES
|
|
|
Annex 14, Volume I requires the wildlife strike hazard on, or in
the vicinity of, an aerodrome to be assessed through, among other things, the
establishment of national procedures and an ongoing evaluation of wildlife
hazards by competent personnel. The establishment of a national committee is
ideally suited to addressing this task. Such committees have proven to be
popular forums to gain and exchange information on research and development
in airport wildlife control, although the composition of a national committee
may vary from State to State, includes all stakeholders associated with or
interested in the problem. Listening to their voices is important to
understand what is working and what is the lesson learnt from various and
diverse experiences.

TYING IT ALL TOGETHER - NEXT STEPS
|
|
|
Take-home Message
- Increasing
of international awareness of wildlife strike threats to aircraft
operational safety
- Strengthening
of the implementation of ICAO SARPs requirements and guidance material
on wildlife control and reduction
- Understanding
of roles of various existing bird strike committees (BSCs), including
the newly established World Bird Strike Association (WBA) and various
regional bird strike committees
- Lesson
learnt from the best practices for wildlife management programmes and
techniques
- More
knowledge about new technology such as predictive and real-time bird
avoidance systems
- Better
ICAO wildlife strike reporting through the new version of the ECCAIRs
system
