AVIATION SAFETY RELATED WEBSITES
Aviation Safety Network
The Aviation Safety Network is a private, independent initiative founded in 1996. On line since January 1996, the Aviation Safety Network covers accidents and safety issues with regards to airliners, military transport planes and corporate jets. The ASN Safety Database contains detailed descriptions of over 10,700 incidents, hijackings and accidents. Most of the information contained in the Aviation Safety Network site is based on information from official sources (authorities, safety boards). Sources used as a basis for the accident database are aircraft production lists, ICAO Aircraft Accident Digests since 1952, and NTSB, TSB etc.
Risk Mitigation- Bird Hazards
Misconceptions about Bird Hazards.
There are some Common misconceptions about bird strikes which may give pilots a false sense of security and prevent them from reacting appropriately to the threat of a bird strike or an actual event are as follows:-
(a) Birds don’t fly at night, in poor visibility, such as in clouds, fog, rain, or snow.
(b) Birds can detect airplane landing lights, weather radar and avoid the airplane.
(c) Airplane colours and jet engine spinner markings help to repel birds.
(d) Birds seek to avoid airplanes because of aerodynamic and engine noise.
(e) Birds dive to avoid an approaching airplane.
None of the above misconceptions have any scientific data to back them.
