Safety Risk Management: With the goal set by the airport management, airport personnel
conducted an SRA to identify hazards and develop actions to lessen the number of birdstrikes
at the airport. The SRA was conducted with the help of a panel composed of airport staff
members, two SMEs on birdstrikes from outside the airport staff, and an SRA facilitator.
During the SRA, a statistical summary of birdstrike data showed the species with the highest
number of birdstrikes and the periods of the year with the highest frequencies and ranked
the species causing the highest number of birdstrikes with adverse effects. The SRA used the
SRM 5-step process recommended by the FAA. Some actions were identified and approved to
reduce the attraction of hazardous species and to harass or deter those species. It was thought
that performing these actions would lessen the rate of birdstrikes to achieve the goal set by
airport policymakers.
