Combined Bird Control Techniques and Analysis Relative to Bird-Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH).

Abstract

All US Air Force bases have a potential for bird-aircraft strike hazards. The seriousness of such a hazard is dependent on the following criteria existing in each specific airdrome environment, either singularly or in combinations: (1) Number and/or size of birds in the environment; (2) time (day, month, season or year); (3) airdrome operation (mission); (4) control techniques enforced (direct or indirect). The report addresses problems encountered on four USAF bases, the recommendations made for direct control techniques, and the results obtained on some of these bases. The report stresses the importance of specificity associated with each Air Force operational problem involving bird hazards.
