National Bird Strike

Second Edition

FOREWORD

This publication contains a description of the National Bird Strike Information System (NBIS) designed to collect and disseminate information on strikes which occur as a result of a collision between an aircraft and a bird / other wildlife.  It also describes the reporting system and states Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission (CARC) obligation to report bird strikes to ICAO in compliance with CARC Publication AN 14-I, Chapter 9, 9.4, Bird Hazard Reduction.

The collection of data will provide the opportunity to carry out necessary analysis in order to establish corrective and mitigation measures to minimize the safety hazard of aircraft operations.

4. Aircraft Registration: This means the registration number for Jordanian aircraft.
5. Date of Incident: Give the local date, not the ZULU GMT date.
6. Local Time of Incident: Check the appropriate light conditions and fill in the hour and minute local time and check AM or PM or use the 24 clock and skip AM/Pm.

11. Speed (IAS): Speed at which the aircraft was traveling when the strike occurred.
12. Phase of Flight: Phase of flight during which the strike occurred.
13. Part(s) of Aircraft Struck or Damaged: Check which parts were struck and damaged.  If a part was damaged but not struck, indicate this with a check on the damaged column only and indicate in comments (#21) why this happened (e.g., the landing gear might be damaged by animal strike, causing the aircraft to flip over and damage parts not struck by animal).
