Bird Strikes in Low Level Cruise Flight.

Abstract

A study of the overall efforts directed at reducing the probability of bird strikes showed that most of the activity has been concentrated on reducing those occurrences within the vicinity of airfields. An analysis of the limited available data pertaining to low level cruise flight indicates that the probability of a collision with a large bird would be reduced somewhat if the spring and fall migratory bird flyway routes and wintering areas could be avoided.
