Training

Wildlife around aerodromes can present serious hazards to aircraft operations. The most obvious of these is the presence of birds, but other animals such as dogs, iguanas, and other mammals can also cause disruption to normal operations. Birds have been a potential hazard to aircraft since the beginning of air travel. Birds were a minor risk in the early days as there were few aircraft in the sky traveling at relatively slow speeds. Damage to aircraft was somewhat minor and the cost of repair was small. Aircraft operators and airport authorities accepted bird strikes as a normal hazard of flying.

• Identify wildlife hazards on or around the aerodromes.
• Ensure that remedial actions necessary to mitigate the risks/hazards are implemented.
• Provide for continuous monitoring and regular assessment of the safety level achieved by taking such actions.
