Bird Strike

According to the International Civil Aviation Organization, a “bird strike” is defined as: “A collision between a bird and an aircraft which is in flight or on takeoff or landing roll”. Bird strikes are certainly not uncommon. According to published figures on the FAA ‘wildlife strike’ database in New York airports alone, there were 493 incidents reported from 1st January 2021 to 1st January 2022. That is more than one per day! There have been over 17 thousand wildlife strikes recorded in 2019! However, while this may sound like a lot, on the whole, bird strikes don’t pose a significant risk. In a 31‐year‐period, wildlife strikes have only accounted for 292 fatalities worldwide. When you factor in that in 2019, 4.5 billion people flew worldwide, the odds of a fatality are infinitesimally small!
