| Popis: | The results of research on identification of bird species involved in collisions mainly with aircraft of the Aeroflot–Russian Airlines Public Joint-Stock Company are presented. Identification examination as a complex study includes DNA analysis, as well as examination of the macro- and microstructure of a group of feathers, a single feather, or a fragment of one. The bird strike location is established. The reasons and factors leading to the appearance of a species at the airfield are considered, and brief recommendations are given to minimize bird strikes at the airfield. During this period, 32 species of ten bird orders involved in strikes were identified. It was found that most collisions occurred with the orders Charadriiformes (mostly with gulls), Falconiformes, and Apodiformes. It is noted that more than 90% of collisions occur at the airport or in its vicinity; there are half again as many more strikes during taking off than during landing. The largest number of collisions takes place in spring and summer time and during daylight hours. The engine, nose cone, and fuselage mainly suffer from bird collisions. |
