FAQs

Comprehensive wildlife hazard management audits should be conducted annually, with more frequent assessments of high-risk areas. Daily wildlife activity observations and monthly habitat assessments are also recommended.

The checklist covers wildlife habitat assessment, attractant reduction measures, active and passive wildlife control techniques, staff training programs, wildlife strike reporting procedures, data analysis of wildlife incidents, and coordination with local environmental agencies.

The audit team should include a qualified airport wildlife biologist, airport operations managers, safety officers, and representatives from air traffic control. Consultation with local wildlife authorities may also be beneficial.

By systematically evaluating and improving wildlife management practices, the checklist helps reduce the likelihood of wildlife strikes, which are a significant safety risk in aviation. It also ensures that wildlife control measures are effective and compliant with regulations.

Post-audit, a detailed report should be prepared identifying areas of concern and improvement opportunities. An action plan should be developed to address any deficiencies, update the Wildlife Hazard Management Plan if necessary, and implement new control measures. Regular monitoring should be conducted to assess the effectiveness of implemented strategies.
