Each year in Canada, approximately 1,250 bird strikes are reported to Transport Canada. These reports provide details on the locations, species struck, aircraft involved, flight phase, extent of damage, and weather conditions at the time of the incident. For those reports identifying the phase of flight, statistics show over 90% occurred on or near the airport during take off, climb, final approach, landing or taxi. This statistic reinforces the fact that an effective wildlife control program at the airport is the key element in preventing bird strikes. CARS 302.307, prescribes the requirement and criteria for airport wildlife training.

The training must include instruction on the:

• nature and extent of the wildlife management problem;

• regulations, standards and guidance material related to airport wildlife management programs;

• bird ecology and biology;

• bird identification, including the use of field guides;

• mammal ecology and biology;

• mammal identification, including the use of field guides;

• any matter covered in the Wildlife Control Procedures Manual (TP 11500);

• any matter covered in the Sharing the Skies - An Aviation Industry Guide to the Management of Wildlife Hazards document (TP 13549);

• rare and endangered species and species of special concern, including related regulations and policies;

• habitat management;

• off-airport land use issues;

• active wildlife control measures;

• wildlife removal techniques;

• firearm safety;

• wildlife management planning; and

• development of awareness programs.

Our one-day training program meets all of the requirements of the CARS and is designed specifically for those persons involved in the day-to-day control of wildlife.
