A study was conducted in the mid-1990s to determine the level of participation of airports and other aviation safety stakeholders in the Federal Aviation Administration voluntary wildlife strike reporting system. A statistical analysis of reported strikes resulted in findings that only a certain percentage of wildlife strikes were actually being reported. According to data collected since 1990, the number of reported strikes has increased. Researchers are certain that several factors have contributed to that increase, including broader participation in the reporting process, increased number of hazardous species, a steady increase in the number of aircraft in the sky, and changes in reporting statistics. These factors were recently verified by Part 1 of a two-part study into the reporting trends titled Wildlife Strike Reporting, Part 1Trends 1990-2008. This report represents Part 2 of that study. The objectives of Part 2 were to (1) summarize trends in persons and other entities that report wildlife strikes and in methods used to report or obtain this strike information, (2) identify sources of data presently not used that might supplement the number of strikes captured, and (3) provide recommendations for enhancing the reporting of strikes or entry of strike information collected in other data sources to correct deficiencies. / Title Note: Final rept. / Supplementary Notes: Prepared in cooperation with Dolbeer Wildlife Consulting, Huron, OH.
