Heads Up: Watch Out for Wildlife (Updated)

No need to rehash the current situation, aviation is hurting and traffic numbers are going down.

So why post about wildlife strikes? With traffic down, we should see less strikes, shouldn’t we? Maybe not…

Over the last couple of months, I have been doing some deep diving into the FAA’s wildlife strike database. It is an aerodrome safety nerd’s paradise. There is so much data and a little crunching can reveal some very interesting things.

I want to share one of these insights with you in light our current circumstances.
