Why collect data on bird presence and bird strikes?

• In safety what isn't documented doesn't exist!• Proof • Monitoring the effectiveness of the measures

(passive and active) • We monitor the level of risk – risk assessment

Why collect data on bird presence and bird strikes?

• We fulfill legal requirements:• National (SLO) regulation:

• Regulation on occurrence reporting in civil aviation • EU regulation:

• COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 965/2012– Air operations

• COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 139/2014 – (EASA ED DECISION 2014/012/R in ED DECISION 2014/013/R) – Aerodromes

• Requirements of ICAO Annex 14 - Reporting for IBIS base

How did we collect data before deployment of GALIOT WLM?

8

• Filling out a paper form – by approx. 50 firefighters

• Consistency of data (incorrect location, incorrect naming of species of birds, number of birds recorded with words)

• Difficulties in ensuring the readability of reports

• Time consuming

The transition to a software solution

• Review of situation on the market (comparison Scarecrow Ultima and Galiot - WLM)

• We opted for a comprehensive solution Galiot (all the different applications in one place)

• Testing - demo WLM application for all to try• Translation to Slovene• Implementation (buying a laptop, ensuring mobile internet

connection – 3G, coordination with Galiot, staff training)

GALIOT - WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT MODULE

• Using the online form (we eliminated many of the problems - readability and consistency of data, etc.)

• The data is now analyzed and digitalized automatically

• Automatic bird strike risk assessment – it is generated at any given time

HEURISTIC MODEL – BIRD RISK ASSESSMENT

• The methodology of risk analysis in GALIOT is in line with the methodology of dr. John Allan (Head of Wildlife Management Programme FERA - UK)

• The methodology is described in the article:• Allan, John. 2006. A Heuristic Risk Assessment

Technique for Birdstrike Managment at Airports

SERIOUS MULTIPLE STRIKE

WHAT IS A SERIOUS MULTIPLE BIRDSTRIKE?

• A serious multiple strike is defined as an incident in which more than 2 birds were struck and more than 10 seen

OR • when more than 10 birds were struck.

SERIOUS MULTIPLE BIRDSTRIKE

What does this adjustment allows us?Collisions between aircraft and flocks of birds have

greater weight in our analysis.

BIRD SPECIES (MASS BIRDS)

NUMBER OF SMBIN LAST 5 YEARS

SERIOUS MULTIPLE BIRSTRIKE

VERY HIGH OR HIGH SEVERITY OF

MODERATE, LOW OR VERY LOW

SEVERITY OF THE IMPACT

2 OR MORE LEVEL 3 (RED)

RISK IN THE AVIATION SYSTEM

How to manage risk? Managing of risk is associated three components (exposure, likelihood and severity).

EXPOSURE(habitat management at the

airport)

PROBABILITY(detection and bird harassment)

SEVERITY(aircraft engines that can adsorb

energy from a bird strike, stronger windshields, training pilots in case

of bird strikes, etc.)

When we successfully manage all three components, only then we can say that our system is optimized.
