Most bird strikes occur around the airport, especially during the aircraft takeoff or landing. During this time the aircraft occurs at low height, where birds have high activity.

Why are there incidents of bird strikes?

Birds often hover near airports in search of food, water or nest. Nearby landfills or waste treatment plants also attract birds. In some seasons, when birds migrate, their number increases in the sky, which increases the risk of conflict. Since the aircraft fly very fast. It becomes difficult for birds to see and avoid it so fast.

Danger of conflict

The most severe condition occurs when the bird penetrates into the engine of the aircraft. This can damage the engine blades, which may fail the engine or also fire. In addition, birds also collide with the windscreen of the aircraft, which breaks the windscreen. This may reduce the air pressure of pilot cabin. The collision of large birds may cause dent in the outer structure (fuselage or wings) of the aircraft, crack or also hole.
