How to ‘use caution for the birds’

  • Give SPECIFIC WARNINGS – ‘Use caution for

flock of gulls at 18L touchdown zone’

  • Name the threat (gulls, geese, starlings)
  • Give the location!
  • Statement? Or Warning?
slide-39
SLIDE 39
  • Where are the birds –

what altitude?

  • 95% of birdstrikes

happen below 3,000’

  • Why aren’t we using

segregation & avoidance?

slide-40
SLIDE 40

“Use Caution” – On approach

  • Remain above 3,000’

until necessary to descend to land

  • Reduce airspeed
  • Reduce engine

speed

slide-41
SLIDE 41

“Use Caution” – on departure

  • DON’T TAKEOFF INTO

HAZARDS!

  • Climb on ICAO NADP 1
  • r best angle of climb

until 3,000’

  • Skip the sightseeing –

watch out for hazards

slide-42
SLIDE 42

Where can we find this guidance?

  • Transport Canada – ‘Sharing the Skies’
  • UK CAA AIC 28/2004
  • EU EASA ‘Skybrary’ – ‘Operator’s Checklist’
  • Airbus – Briefing Notes
