One month after the fatal crash drop at Muang Airport, it became clear that the preliminary report was found to have blood and wings with both engines. The archeological site of the Baikal Teal, a Siberian duck, provides evidence that bird attacks occurred in the last few minutes.
Unfortunately, it is still unknown how much the bird strike contributed to the final crash of the economic flight on December 29, 2024. However, bird strikes have become the focus of the survey and are skeptical about the seriousness. A bird strike to aviation around the world.
According to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), more than 270,000 reports on wildlife attacks against aircraft between 2016 and 2021. Only 3 % of these cases reported some form of damage to some of the aircraft. The Federal Aviation Bureau (FAA), based in the United States, has also tracked wildlife attacks, as well, indicating that more than 90 % of the incident did not damage the aircraft.
Reports from both ICAO and FAA clarify the general patterns when most incidents occur -if there is a high possibility that birds may exist in the takeoff or landing procedure.
The most serious incident since 1912
Avisure, an Australian -based international aerial risk consultant company, has edited all cases, including the strikes of wildlife, a fatal, destruction of aircraft, or a wildlife strike.
The database begins on April 3, 1912 with the first report of Calbrace Perrotrojers, who had been piloting the light flyer, to a herd of long beach, California and killed him.
On April 30, 1953, one person died, and on April 30, 1953, when 22 people survived, there were more than 12 military cases, until the next private accident.
Wildlife attacks that have brought human -fatal and completely destroyed aircraft since 1953
While Avisure’s founder and management director, Phil Shaw, shows that a large -scale private aircraft tends to escape after a bird strike. It is mainly due to luck.
For example, the Hudson River incident that occurred on January 15, 2009 may have a number of deaths without a quick idea of pilots and appropriate rivers. Similarly, the Ural Air flight with 233 people may have ended unstable for the corn field, which provided an area suitable for emergency landing.
Where they are important
The number and size of the birds may escalate the potential effects on the aircraft, but also causes a difference when birds shock the aircraft.
According to ICAO reports, most strikes occur in the front, wings, or propellers of the plane. However, most airplanes can stabilize themselves with a single engine in the case of strike, but if both engines are affected, the severity of the aircraft or human results on board. It may increase significantly.
Birds mainly hit the front of the aircraft, the engine, and the wings
The chart shows the breakdown of all bird attack cases, which was reportedly reported worldwide to international private air organizations by a part of the struck aircraft. The nose, radome, windshield, wings, and engine were the most struck parts of the aircraft.

Types of birds and wildlife
It has been reported that various species collided with the aircraft. However, the majority is the majority of birds, such as Muang Airport, which can have a serious effect on airports along the coastal area near the wetland, along the migratory birds.
Ordinary birds at Muang Airport
Muang’s airport is located near coastal areas and wetlands that provide an environment suitable for birds to build nests. According to the government’s report, the area lived in both resident birds such as black hans and wood sparrows, and migratory birds such as malad and gray herons.
The most common
The most common type of birds involved in strikes around the world are classified into the category of Hawks, Eagles and Vulture. Sapping birds such as European Sterling and coastal birds such as gulls and Kildia, which supplement 45 % of the reported cases.
Other types of birds
Other birds, which account for 22 % of the cases reported to ICAO, include a wide variety of owls, beings, and parrots.
Mammals and reptile
Among the most unusual categories of the incident are mammals and reptiles.
One of the 2004 incidents contained giraffes on the Santawani runway in Botwana. It collided with Cessna 172, destroyed the plane and killed animals. It has been reported that even warbies, crocodile and turtles will hit aircraft.
Measures for anti -bird strikes and wildlife
Muang Airport scares birds using traditional measures such as guns, air canon, and speakers. But beyond these traditional measures, experts stated that many tasks will begin before the airport was established. To identify the nesting of the birds, and to identify the maintenance of drainage and vegetation surrounding it, you need appropriate surveys and evaluations in the area around the airport.
Experts have stated that there is a lack of training in a wider aviation industry, about what to do in the case of bird strikes. It is rare to simulate the training of both the pilot and the aviation control staff. Another useful scale is the overall improvement of sensors and communication tools that can provide alerts at important moments.
