This book was released on 1999-04-01 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analysis of strike data is critical to determine the true economic costs of bird strikes, determine the magnitude of safety issues, and develop preventive measures. Analysis of USAF bird-strike data identified trends and indicated suggested relationships among factors contributing to damaging strikes. From FY 1988 through FY 1997, the annual mean was 2,668 bird strikes with peaks evident in fall and spring. Daylight and dusk were hazardous for bird strikes. More bird strikes occurred during airfield operations - aircraft are at low altitudes and soaring birds are more numerous. Aircraft speed, phase of flight, taxonomic group, bird mass and aircraft group were the strongest predictors of damaging bird strikes. Bird strike rates were calculated for USAF aircraft and selected USAF airfields. Bomber aircraft had the highest strike rate; these aircraft frequently fly long missions at low altitudes where they are likely to encounter birds. Logistic regression analyses estimated odds of occurrence for damaging bird strikes during airfield operations General statistics, odds for a damaging airfield strike, and airfield strike rates, were used to identify USAF airfields with higher bird strike risks. Howard AFB, Panama, had a higher number and rate of bird strikes, and greater odds for a damaging bird strike than other airfields analyzed.

This book was released on 1975 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Annotated Bibliography of Bird Hazards to Aircraft written by Jeffrey Short and published by . This book was released on 1998-03-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 30 years, much progress has been made to address the hazards proposed by birds to aircraft by the military, the aerospace industry, and international working groups. In an effort to "jump start" those researchers with bird hazard problems, the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory has consolidated into a single document a significant portion of the literature on bird/aircraft interactions. This annotated bibliography of bird hazards to aircraft, termed ABBHA, is a compilation of citations with abstracts on a wide range of related topics such as bird strike tolerance engineering, bird hazard management and control, bird strike avoidance, and bird remains identification. ABBHA is available electronically and can be used with various word processing or bibliography management software. Computerization of the ABBHA reduces distribution costs, allows for frequent updates, and helps users to locate similar references on topics of interest through keyword "searches." The ABBHA citations included in this report include working papers published in the proceedings of the Bird Strike Committees of Europe, Canada, and the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The annual cost to the United States Air Force (USAF) to replace or repair aircraft damaged by bird/aircraft collisions has led to an intensive study of the problems associated with birds or airfields and in the enroute environment. Since 1969 an active program has been in effect, first at the Air Force Weapons Laboratory (AFWL) at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico, and in 1975 at the Air Force Civil Engineering Center (AFCEC), Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida. This report reviews those Technical Notes (TNs) and Technical Reports (TRs) that have been published as a result of the program effort. (Author).

Download or read book Bird Strike in Aviation written by Ahmed F. El-Sayed and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-07-22 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Groundbreaking Handbook Offers Detailed Research and Valuable Methodology to Address Dangerous and Costly Aviation Hazard Though annual damages from bird and bat collisions with aircraft have been estimated at $400 million in the United States and up to $1.2 billion in commercial aviation worldwide and despite numerous conferences and councils dedicated to the issue, very little has been published on this expensive and sometimes-lethal flying risk. Bird Strike in Aviation seeks to fill this gap, providing a comprehensive guide to preventing and minimizing damage caused by bird strike on aircraft. Based on a thorough and comprehensive examination of the subject, Dr. El-Sayed offers different approaches to reducing bird strikes, including detailed coverage of the three categories necessary for such reduction, namely, awareness/education, bird management (active and passive control), and aircraft design. In addition, the text discusses the importance of cooperation between airplanes, airports and air traffic authorities as well as testing methods necessary for certification of both aircraft frame and engine. Other notable features include: Statistics and analyses for bird strikes with both civil and military helicopters as well as military fixed wing aircrafts, including annual costs, critical flight altitudes, critical parts of aircraft, distance from air base and specifics of date and timing Thorough review and analysis all fatal bird strike accidents and most non-fatal accidents since 1905, the first book to provide such a reference The use of numerical methods in analyzing historic data (ex. probability functions, finite element methods for analyzing impact on aircraft structure, experimental measurement technique for displacement, vibration, component distortion, etc.) Instruction on identification of bird species (using visual, microscopic, and DNA evidence) and details of bird migration to aid air traffic control in avoiding scenarios likely to result in collision With its wealth of statistical data, innovative research, and practical suggestions, Bird Strike in Aviation will prove a vital resource for researchers, engineers and graduate students in aerospace engineering/manufacturing or ornithology, as well as for military and civilian pilots and flight crew or professionals in aviation authorities and air traffic control.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A serious bird-aircraft strike hazard potential exists at Seymour-Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina. The three problem areas involve flight routes to and at the Dare County Gunnery Range, the base airdrome, and birds roosting in fixed facilities adjacent to the runways. Five National Wildlife Refuges in the area surrounding the gunnery range provide suitable habitat for waterfowl, shorebirds and seabirds. Measures to reduce the hazard potential include: (1) determination and avoidance of airspace of known waterfowl concentrations, shorebird and seabird activity, (2) reducing the attractiveness of environmental features in the airbase environment, (3) population reduction within the fixed facilities, and (4) dispersal of Starlings from the airfield using Starling distress calls.
