Safety Assurance: The SMS Coordinator defined the number of birdstrikes with adverse
effects as a new safety performance indicator for the airport. Data on birdstrikes was collected
monthly to record the total number of birdstrikes, the number of birdstrikes with an
adverse effect, and the birdstrikes associated with the species with the highest risk identified
during the SRA. Data were collected in coordination with all tenant airlines and the
general aviation community. During the monthly meetings, the SMS Coordinator, with the
wildlife management staff, presented trends to the Accountable Executive and the Director
of Operations
