Introduction
The risk of aircraft collisions with wildlife (animal strikes)
is increasing as air traffic grows.
Contributing factors include
increases in high hazard bird populations,
increases in air traffic
volumes, the use of quiet two-engine aircraft,
plus the restriction of
open space environments suitable for birds outside of airports due
to urban encroachment.
Highly publicized events,
such as the crash
of US Airways Flight 1549 into the Hudson River when departing
LaGuardia Airport,
New York City because of a goose strike in
January 2009, have added to the public concern.
To ensure that
airports are prepared to recognize and mitigate wildlife hazards at
airports, the Canadian Aviation Regulations (2006),
require the
development,
implementation and maintenance of Airport Wildlife
Management Plans (AWMPs)
at Canadian airports that meet the
criteria contained in the amended regulations.
