I've had near hits with birds multiple times. If they were not so maneuverable, I doubt I'd be here to participate in this week's question. We need this addressed, and soon. |
|
Fortunately, they get out of the way. I think that's a better defense than we'll be able to dream up in my lifetime ... even after millions of man-hours -- and millions of dollars -- spent. |
|
I can only be worried about so many things. What a bird might or might not do is not one of them. If some sort of accurate reporting comes my way, that's great. Until then, it's a big sky... |
|
I think we could all benefit from a better understanding ... perhaps even a forecast ... of bird migratory activity. Even if it served as nothing more than a reminder to be more vigilant, this is good information to have. |
|
A bird forecast? Migratory patterns may be well understood, but it will take some convincing before I believe anyone can accurately predict the number of birds traveling through a particular slab of airspace at any particular time. |
|
I'd like to see some sort of wildlife report included in my preflight briefing, if not standard then as an option. It would be nice to know that geese, deer, starlings, a herd of rare wild cows, whatever, are expected or have been witnessed on or in the vicinity of my destination airport or route of flight. |
