CHAPTER 17 WILDLIFE HAZARD MANAGEMENT

17.01 Detection, monitoring and observation

       (1) As part of the aerodrome serviceability inspection, the aerodrome operator must monitor and record at least the following:

(a) the presence and behaviour of wildlife on the aerodrome;

(b) wildlife activity that is visible:

 (i) in the vicinity of the aerodrome; or

 (ii) from the aerodrome.

Note   For aerodromes with considerable wildlife hazards, a dedicated wildlife inspection, including wildlife counts, is recommended.

       (2) The aerodrome operator, in consultation with the local planning authority, must attempt to monitor sites within 13 km of the aerodrome reference point that attract wildlife.

Note   For background information, refer to Guideline C of the National Airport Safeguarding Framework, as in force or existing from time to time and freely available from: https://infrastructure.gov.au/aviation/environmental/airport_safeguarding/nasf/nasf_principles_guidelines.aspx.

       (3) The aerodrome operator must attempt to monitor any reported wildlife aircraft strike events at, or in the vicinity of, the aerodrome.

17.02 Wildlife hazard assessment and trigger criteria

       (1) Any detected wildlife hazard must be assessed for its potential risk to aircraft operations.

       (2) If the aerodrome operator has a safety management system, or a risk management plan, mentioned in Chapter 25 or 26 respectively, the assessment must be conducted in accordance with the system or the plan.

       (3) When conducting a wildlife hazard assessment, available data from the following must be considered:
