Assessment of wildlife hazard on aerodromes

This technical guide describes the method for wildlife hazard assessment on civil aerodromes developed by the STAC (French Civil Aviation Technical Centre). This approach based on the measurement of a strike risk and a wildlife risk level should enable aerodromes operators to define hazard mitigation actions for each wildlife species present on the aerodrome.

This document offers risk assessment guidelines which may be used by aerodromes operators to develop and implement their own wildlife hazard prevention programme.

The second edition of this guide provides some methodological clarifications on the calculation of the risk level and a simplification of the terminology.
