BIRD HIT.

[Audio] Pilots are well aware of the potential dangers of flying and undergo thorough training and safety measures. Despite this, unexpected situations such as bird strikes can occur. On slide number 2, we see the text "Carrying out mutual flying NF-4A, RW 27, winds calm. While rejoining from Sect-East, you hear a loud thud noise and broken perspex." This is a scenario that is familiar to many of us in which a bird collides with an aircraft, causing damage and potentially jeopardizing the safety of the flight. Bird strikes are a serious concern in the aviation industry as they can occur during any phase of flight and can range from minor damage to catastrophic crashes. As such, pilots must be trained and prepared for such situations. In this presentation, we will discuss the effects of bird strikes on aircraft and the measures that can be taken to prevent them. We will also review the regulations and guidelines set by aviation authorities to ensure safety and minimize the risk of bird strikes. Understanding the behavior of birds and implementing techniques and technologies to detect and avoid them is crucial for pilots. Additionally, reporting bird strikes is essential in identifying high-risk areas and implementing preventative measures. As we continue, let us remember the potential hazards of bird strikes and the importance of being vigilant and prepared as pilots. Working together, we can ensure safe and smooth flights for ourselves and our passengers. Now, let us move on to the next slide for further discussion on bird strikes..

[Audio] Slide number 3: As the plane takes off, a loud thud is heard and the Perspex is suddenly broken, allowing air to enter the cabin. It is evident that a bird has collided with the aircraft, as there are blood stains and scattered feathers in the static cavity. The engine area now has a foul smell and minor cracks can be seen on the roots of the blades. This is known as a bird strike, a serious issue in the aviation industry. Each year, thousands of birds crash into planes, causing damage and potential safety hazards for passengers. A bird strike can result in anything from minor dents to severe damage and even engine failure, making it a threat that must be taken seriously. To prevent these incidents, we must understand the contributing factors and take necessary precautions, including managing nearby habitats and implementing bird detection systems. In the event of a bird strike, pilots and crew members must follow proper procedures to ensure the safety of everyone on board. It is also essential to continue researching and developing new technologies and strategies to reduce the number of bird strikes and keep our skies safe. Let's now move on to the next slide..

[Audio] Bird strikes are a common occurrence in the aviation industry and can pose serious risks to an aircraft's safety. In such situations, swift action must be taken to ensure the safety of all on board. The first step to controlling the aftermath of a bird strike is to assess the aircraft's vibrations. This will provide an idea of the extent of the damage and help in taking necessary precautions. Then, the aircraft's speed should be reduced to 45 knots to stabilize the flight and create a safer environment for further assessment. After the speed is reduced, it is crucial to check and assess the damage caused by the bird strike. This will provide a clear understanding of the situation and aid in making informed decisions. Following this, internal checks should be carried out to ensure all systems are functioning properly. If the aircraft is deemed flyable, it is recommended to return to base for a thorough inspection and repairs. However, if the damage is significant, it is highly advisable to make a precautionary landing. In the event of a bird strike, swift and accurate actions can make all the difference..

[Audio] On slide number 5, we will discuss the steps to take in the event of a bird strike. As a pilot, it is important to be able to handle unexpected situations like a bird strike. If a bird strike occurs, the first step is to assess any damage to the aircraft and its components. This will give you an idea of the severity of the impact. Next, reduce your speed to 45 knots to maintain control of the aircraft and prevent further damage. Then, a precautionary landing should be carried out to ensure the safety of both passengers and the aircraft. Once landed, perform internal checks to ensure all systems are functioning properly. If the aircraft is still flyable, the flight may continue and return to base. However, remember that safety is always the top priority. If at any point the aircraft is not safe to fly, do not hesitate to perform a precautionary landing. In summary, remember to assess damage, reduce speed, perform a precautionary landing, and check internal systems in the event of a bird strike. Safety is the most important factor in any flight..

[Audio] Slide number 6 out of 19: "Bird Hit" When a bird collides with an aircraft, it can have serious consequences. It is important for those in the aviation industry to be aware of the potential dangers and be prepared to take necessary action in the event of a bird strike. The first step is to have the aircraft's Ac checked and assess any potential damage before deciding if it is safe to continue the flight or if repairs are needed. The safety of passengers and crew is the top priority. After ensuring the safety of the aircraft, it is important to remove any remains of the bird to prevent further damage and to avoid attracting more birds. It is also crucial to report the bird strike, as this information is vital for tracking and preventing future incidents. Remember, bird strikes are a serious matter and must be handled with caution. By following these steps, we can minimize the risks and prioritize the safety of all involved..

[Audio] Slide number 7 out of 19 discusses the important topic of bird strike prevention. Our top priority is the safety of our flights and passengers, as mentioned in the previous slide. The key element of bird strike prevention is keeping a sharp lookout for birds as they can pose a serious threat. It is our responsibility to remain vigilant at all times. Avoiding BUAs, which are areas where birds gather, is crucial as they greatly increase the risk of a bird strike. If a bird is encountered while flying, it is important to either turn away or gain altitude to prevent a collision. Even a small bird can cause significant damage to an aircraft, so quick and decisive action is necessary. It is recommended to avoid flying during the "red period" when birds are most active and the risk of a strike is higher. By being informed and avoiding flying during this time, we can further minimize the risk of a bird strike. Let's continue to the next slide to learn more about bird strike prevention..

[Audio] Slide number 8 is an important part of our presentation on Bird Hit, providing crucial information that must not be overlooked. Bird strikes are a serious concern for the aviation industry, and understanding the timeline of events after a bird hit is crucial. The initial report of a bird hit is made 12 hours after the incident, followed by a detailed report after 48 hours. A comprehensive report is presented 7 days after the initial report, based on the findings of the detailed report. These reports are essential for assessing the impact of the bird strike and making necessary repairs and prevention measures. In conclusion, slide number 8 emphasizes the critical timeline of events and the importance of reporting and investigating bird strikes. Let's move on to the next slide for more valuable information on Bird Hit..

[Audio] We are currently on slide 9 out of 19 and will be discussing the details of a bird strike incident that occurred on February 13, 2020. This information is important for the formation and command units, as well as the parent unit if it differs from the reporting unit. The accident took place on February 13, 2020 at 10:00, and involved an aircraft of a specific type, mark, and number as shown in the accompanying image. It was classified as an accident or damage to the airframe and engine and occurred near Kurali, Punjab with visibility conditions of 4 KM, haze, and a few clouds at an altitude of 2500 feet. The pilot, who had 774 hours of operational flying experience, noticed an engine oil pressure warning light and took necessary precautions, successfully landing the aircraft. The co-pilot, with 794 hours of flying experience, also played a crucial role in the safe resolution of the incident. The crew and other personnel involved did not sustain any injuries, but there was damage to the aircraft and surrounding areas. The Next of Kin has been notified and further updates will be provided as necessary. Let's proceed to the next slide..

[Audio] On February 13th, 2020, a real incident occurred involving the Uni 660 Army Aviation Squadron during a flight at 1920 hours in Kurali, Punjab. The two pilots were on a reconnaissance mission for 9 Corps, flying a Chetak SA 316 D aircraft with the number 31398. During the 34-minute flight, the pilot noticed a decrease in oil pressure and increase in temperature and immediately informed air traffic control before safely landing at Kurali. After inspection, it was determined that a faulty oil gauge and low oil pressure were the probable cause. The aircraft underwent further checks with no visible damage or defects found. This incident serves as a reminder to prioritize regular maintenance and proper communication to ensure safety for our pilots and aircraft..

Let's move on to slide number 12..

[Audio] Slide number 12 focuses on the Bombay Natural History Society, an organization dedicated to the protection and preservation of birds. Founded in 1883, the BNHS is one of the oldest and most important NGOs in India, with its headquarters in Mumbai. They have made significant contributions to bird conservation in the Mumbai region through research, data documentation, and raising awareness about the importance of protecting birds. Their work also extends to the wider region of India. Thanks to organizations like the BNHS, we can learn more about birds and work towards preserving their existence. Let's now move on to our next slide as we continue to explore the impact of bird hits and the measures being taken to prevent them..

[Audio] Slide number 13 displays two images and four words: Red Kite, Rock Pigeon, Short Toed, Snake Eagle, and Rock Dove. While these may seem like a random collection of words, they are all connected by a common threat - bird collisions. Every year, millions of birds worldwide are killed due to colliding with man-made structures such as buildings, communication towers, and power lines, which is referred to as "bird hit." The two images on this slide represent two of the many species that are vulnerable to such collisions - the Red Kite and the Rock Pigeon. However, it's not just these two birds that are at risk. The words Short Toed, Snake Eagle, and Rock Dove also represent other species of birds that are in danger of colliding with man-made structures. This poses a serious threat to their survival. The significance of this issue lies in the crucial role that birds play in our ecosystem. They help to control insect populations, pollinate plants, and disperse seeds. When their numbers decline, there can be a ripple effect on the environment. Additionally, birds bring joy and beauty to our lives. To prevent bird collisions, there are several measures that can be taken, such as implementing proper lighting and markings on buildings, using bird-friendly materials on communication towers, and burying power lines underground. By being mindful of our impact on the environment, we can help protect these magnificent creatures. As we continue with this presentation, let us keep in mind the importance of addressing the issue of bird collisions. Working together, we can find solutions and prevent further harm to our feathered friends..

[Audio] Slide number 15 out of 19 discusses the determination of green and red PDS, which is important in understanding the phenomenon of bird strikes. Birds are a common hazard that can cause damage to aircraft and loss of human lives. To prevent such incidents, it is necessary to understand the factors contributing to bird strikes, such as the presence of green and red PDS. PDS, which stands for Prey Detection System, is used by many bird species to detect and capture prey. The color of PDS varies among species, with some having green PDS and others having red PDS, determined by their visual system and diet. This has implications for aircraft safety, as birds with green PDS are more attracted to light sources and are more likely to collide with aircraft. Understanding the presence of green and red PDS in different bird species can help develop effective strategies to prevent bird strikes, including bird deterrence systems, habitat modification, and bird population control. Studies have also shown that pulsing lights on aircraft can deter birds with green PDS by interfering with their visual system. In conclusion, the determination of green and red PDS is crucial in understanding and preventing bird strikes. By understanding the color of PDS in different bird species and implementing effective strategies, the risk of bird strikes can be reduced and the safety of aircraft and passengers ensured. Moving on to slide number 16, we will further explore this topic..

[Audio] Slide number 16 of our presentation on "Bird Hit" covers the crucial topic of "Collection of Time Series Data", "Graph Generation", and the "Logic of 15 Minute Slots" using the "LFA" method. Collecting accurate and timely data is essential in any research or analysis, especially when studying bird strikes. Our team has developed a comprehensive system for gathering time series data, which allows us to track and understand patterns in bird strikes. By generating graphs, we can visually represent the information and gain a clearer understanding of the issue, including trends, patterns, and potential problem areas. The logic of using 15-minute slots is based on the fact that most bird strikes occur during takeoff and landing, which are typically scheduled in 15-minute increments. This method allows us to pinpoint and track bird activity during these critical times and identify potential hotspots for bird strikes. Through our research, we have found that the "LFA" method is the most effective approach for collecting and analyzing time series data in the context of bird strike research. It has proven to be accurate, efficient, and reliable, and we are confident it will provide valuable insights in our study. Our team is committed to ensuring the safety of both birds and aircraft, and this data and graph generation process is an integral part of our efforts. We will now move on to the final few slides of our presentation..

[Audio] Slide number 17 displays a visual representation of a common concern in the aviation industry - bird strikes. The image on this slide is from Clipart Panda, a source for free clipart images. Despite its colorful and cute appearance, bird strikes pose a serious threat to aircraft and their passengers. These incidents can result in costly damages and even fatal accidents, making it crucial for airlines and airports to implement measures to prevent and minimize the impact of bird strikes. This can be achieved through better management of airport habitats or the use of technology to detect and deter birds. It is important to keep this in mind as we move on to our final slide..

[Audio] På slide nummer 18 visas en tidsplan över de mest riskabla tiderna på dagen för fågelkrockar. De tidiga morgontimmarna mellan 0545-0700 och sena eftermiddagen mellan 1600-1845 är de tider med högst risk för fågelkrockar. Det är viktigt att vara extra uppmärksam under dessa tider för att undvika olyckor. Nästa slide, nummer 19, visar åtgärder som kan minska risken för fågelkrockar. Nu fortsätter vi med de sista tio minuterna av presentationen..

[Audio] Head publik! Me oleme jõudnud meie presentatsiooni viimase slaidini. Tahaksin teiega rääkida lindude kokkupõrgetest ehitistega, mida tuntakse ka kui "BIRD HIT". See on suur probleem lennundusmaailmas ja vajab tõsist tähelepanu. Igal aastal toimub tuhandeid lindude kokkupõrkeid lennukitega, mis põhjustavad tõsiseid kahjustusi ja mõnikord isegi inimelusid. Siin pildil näeme, kuidas linnud põrkavad kokku lennuki mootoriga, mis võib põhjustada tõsiseid tehnilisi probleeme. On oluline teadvustada, et lindude kokkupõrked lennukitega on ennetatavad. Näiteks lennujaamades saab rakendada erinevaid meetmeid, nagu lindude äratõukamise süsteemid või lennukeid peletavad helid. Samuti on tähtis, et lennukite meeskonnad oleksid teadlikud sellistest ohtudest ja oskaksid õigesti reageerida. Seega, BIRD HIT on probleem, millega peaksime tõsiselt tegelema. On oluline järgida ohutusnõudeid ja leida ennetavaid lahendusi, et vältida lindude kokkupõrkeid lennukitega. Suur aitäh, et osalesite meie presentatsioonil ja kuulasite minu lühikest sõnavõttu BIRD HIT teemal. Loodan, et sellest saab teie jaoks kasulik ja hariv kogemus. Jätkake turvalist lendamist!.
