Best Practice Bird Activity Tail-wind Runway Assignment (Implemented in AIP) Chubu Centrair INTL Airport /RJGG BIRDS activity on the RWY Tail-wind Runway Assigned by ATC KYOTO TOKYO Seagull resting on the runway Chubu Centrair /RJGG Location at Chubu Centrair INTL Airport 7 AIP JAPAN (RJGG AD2.20) AIP JAPAN RJGG AD2.20 LOCAL TRAFFIC REGULATION 1.2.2 To prevent bird-strikes, runway may be selected considering the location of bird activity when wind is about 7 knots or less. AIP: Aeronautical Information Publication 8 4
Process - Local Committee collaboration (Air Traffic Controller understanding) - Top Agreement - National Committee confirmation 9 Program Airport Administrator/Operator *Indicated by thick frame is the action after 2009 Environmental Research (Food, Water and Shelter) Bird Detection RADAR & Camera System (HANEDA ) Research Vegetation at or around Airport Research Birds Moving Route Birds position Information Operation Display Tokyo INTL Airport Radar Display System (BIRDS (with ALERT, Camera (HANEDA) made by NEC Corp.) Observation) Airport is surrounded by the sea Habitat Control Cutting grass that become a feed for birds Cutting trees at/near Airport Bird Patrol Lines over water Water area Grass area Nest Management Bird Sweep Rocket Long Range Acoustic Device (at Night) Data Analysis Bird Strike INFORMATION Sharing Site Bird Species Identification by DNA or Feather analysis Collect Bird Strike Report from operators by INTERNET Bird Strike Database and automatic analysis (with photo and document) Sharing Bird Strike information and documentation with all stakeholders Blood, Feather etc. from Runway inspection or Aircraft/ENGINE Identification Report 10 5
