SAFETY REQUIRES DATA TO IMPROVE

EXPECTATIONS OF STRIKE DATAREGULATOR NEEDS ENOUGH QUALITY / QUANTITY DATA TO:determine high risk species track national trendsprovide scientific foundation for regulatory guidance
AIRPORTS NEED ENOUGH QUALITY / QUANTITY DATA TO: identify & mitigate hazardous species, strike dynamics and
attractants and evaluate effectiveness of wildlife management program
INDUSTRY NEEDS ENOUGH QUALITY / QUANTITY DATA TO:
evaluate effectiveness of aircraft components

INACCURATE / INCOMPLETE STRIKE DATAINEFFECTIVE RISK MANAGEMENT Targeting wrong species
Inadequate or incorrect habitat attractant management
FINANCIAL INEFFICIENCY / MISAPPROPRIATION Resources incorrect / inadequate
Funding used / prioritized elsewhere
Personnel misused / undervalued
PROGRAM EVALUATION IMPACTED Evaluation requires data quality / quantity
Inadequate evaluation equals guesswork and increased risk
OUT OF COMPLIANCE

World Wide Web invented by English scientist Tim Berners‐Lee
Exxon Valdez oil spill
Berlin Wall opened
Tiananmen Square protests
George H. W. Bush became the 41st U.S. President
Gas was $1.12 per gallon
The FAA / USDA determined that the NWSD would start with our 1990 strike data and not before, because it was reliable from 1990 onwardThe Bell Boeing V‐22 Osprey first flown
A Soviet Air Force Mikoyan MiG‐29 suffers a birdstrike at Paris Air Show
80’s boy bands gave way to 90’s grunge alternative rock
The movie Field of Dreams premiered

Stigma of reporting strikes greatly reduced
CAA’s effectively use mandates and outreach to improve quality / quantity of data
Field data more easily collected / analyzed with handheld electronic systems
Detection / monitoring systems (avian radar, FOD radar) improve data collection on strikes and near miss events
Feather ID institutions (Smithsonian) now provide incomparable assistance towards identifying species involved in strikes.

Enhance global aviation safety by improving international reporting of wildlife/aircraft strike incidents as well as international data
access and data sharing.
1) Update the ICAO Birdstrike Information System (IBIS) Manual
2) Permit International Data Access and Data Sharing
![Page 9: Flight Plan for International Data Access & Updating IBIS](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012519/61933f2b8b0b3d2a3b0419d1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
No standardized strike definition No minimum standards for strike report forms New software systems available for recording /
submitting strike data to ICAO ECCAIRS (aka: the European Coordination Centre
for Accident and Incident Reporting system) is being updated
ALL sections must be fully updated / rewritten

Strike data from the US and other ICAO Member States is already openly available to the public.
Strike data for all Member States is incomplete and/or inaccurate
- INEFFECTIVE RISK MANAGEMENT- FINANCIALLY WASTEFUL- PROGRAM EVALUATION NEGATIVELY IMPACTED- OUT OF COMPLIANCE
International Data Access and Data Sharing

US Data (reliable): 28 years = 3,864 strikes involving US registered civil aircraft were reported at 308 foreign airports in 109 countries (1990 –2017)
US Data (reliable): 5 years = 1,020 bird/wildlife strikes with US registered aircraft outside of US airspace (2014 – 2018)
US Data (reliable): 221 strikes with US registered aircraft at 82 foreign airports in 45 countries in 2018

UK carriers report far more birdstrike events occurring in the US than the FAA’s National Wildlife Strike Database suggests >70% missing FAA’s NWSD contained very few strike reports by UK carriers in the US – but of those noted, 50% were missing from UKCAA’s DB The FAA’s NWSD details few US carriers reporting strikes in UK – 20% of those events were missing from UKCAA’s DB UK carriers report ‘all’ strike events in EU reporting regulation – yet reconciliation with US & UK revealed many anomalies & lack of quality

ICAO Annex 14 —Aerodromes
9.4 Wildlife strike hazard reduction
9.4.1 The wildlife strike hazard on, or in the vicinity of, an aerodrome shall be assessed through:a) the establishment of a national procedure for recording and reporting wildlife strikes to aircraft;
Civil Aviation Authorities CANNOT adequately assess theirwildlife strike hazards with inadequate data
