A REVIEW OF PUBLICATIONS ON THE BIRD/AIRCRAFT STRIKE HAZARD

The annual cost to the United States Air Force (USAF) to replace or repair aircraft damaged by bird/aircraft collisions has led to an intensive study of the problems associated with birds on airfields and in the enroute environment. Since 1969 an active program has been in effect, first at the Air Force Weapons Laboratory (AFWL) at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico, and in 1975 at the Air Force Civil Engineering Center (AFCEC), Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida. This report reviews those Technical Notes (TNs) and Technical Reports (TRs) that have been published as a result of the program effort. (Author)
