1. SITUATION.

a. General.

Although bird and wildlife activity is minimal on Ascension air field, a Bird/Wildlife Aircraft Strike

Hazard (BASH) exists at Ascension Auxiliary Air Field (Ascension AAF) and vicinity due to resident and migratory bird species. Daily and seasonal bird movements create various hazardous conditions. Due to a small local population of feral sheep and donkeys, the possibility of aircraft strikes with non-avian wildlife also exists. This plan establishes procedures to minimize these hazards at Ascension AAF. No single solution exists to the BASH problem and a variety of techniques and organizations are involved in the control program.

b. Airfield Local Areas.

Ascension AAF is located on the southwest corner of Ascension Island in the South Atlantic Ocean. It is bounded on three sides by water and on the fourth side by mountainous terrain. Bird activity is basically seasonal when the wideawake tern arrives for the nesting season. The breeding areas are south and southeast of the departure end of Runway 13. After the eggs hatch, bird activity increases as seabirds, predominantly frigate birds, appear. Other birds indigenous to the island include mynah birds;

waxbill finches, wild canaries, fairy terns, sooty terns, egrets and booby birds; these birds are found predominantly northeast of the airfield and are not normally a hazard to aircraft. Despite the large bird population, relatively few BASH incidents have ever been recorded. Other birds that may be encountered are listed here: http://www.ascension-island.gov.ac/government/conservation/our-species/birds/29a-o-ascension-bird-list/ http://www.ascension-island.gov.ac/government/conservation/our-species/birds/29a-o-ascension-bird-list/ http://www.ascension-island.gov.ac/government/conservation/our-species/birds/29a-o-ascension-bird-list/

2. MISSION.

This plan is designed to:

a. Establish a Bird Hazard Working Group (BHWG) and coordinate with local concerned agencies during the Air Operations Board (AOB) and as needed to implement the local BASH program.

b. Establish guidelines to alter the airfield environment to decrease its attractiveness to birds in accordance with (IAW) AFPD 32-70.

c. Establish procedures for identification and communication of high-hazard situations to aid supervisors and aircrews in altering/discontinuing flying operations if required.

d. Establish aircraft and airfield operating procedures to avoid high-hazard situations.

e. Inform all assigned and transient aircrews of specific bird hazards and procedures for bird avoidance.

f. Report bird strike data to 45 SW Aviation Safety (45 SW/SEF) to process as required.

3. EXECUTION.

a. Concept of Operations.

(1) Reducing the bird strike hazard at Ascension AAF requires a cooperative effort between several base organizations. The overall Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR) for this plan is the USAF Base

Commander. The USAF Airfield Manager Contracting Officers Representative (AFM-COR) will monitor for implementation of this plan.

(2) Local Bird Hazard Working Group.

(a) Function. Collects, compiles and reviews data on bird strikes. Identifies and recommends actions to reduce hazards. Recommends changes in operational procedures. Prepares informational programs for aircrews. Serves as point of contact for off-base BASH issues.

(b) Authority. The local BHWG submits all efforts to the Ascension AAF Commander for approval. Implementation is through the normal chain of command.

(c) Composition. Chairman: USAF Base Commander; Members: USAF AFM-COR, contract

AFM, Senior ATC, Fire/Security Chief, Communications Manager, Royal Air Force (RAF) Operations

Officer or their designated representative.

(d) Meeting Schedule. The numbers of BASH incidents at Ascension AAF are extremely low and personnel participating in the local program are equally few. In lieu of a separate local BHWG meeting, the BHWG will address BASH issues during the quarterly AOB meeting or as requested by the chairperson of the BHWG. BASH items discussed will be reported in the AOB minutes as well as reported by the AFM at the 45 SW BHWG meeting.

b. Tasks. Annex C lists specific hazard reduction techniques for varying bird hazard conditions.

These will remain in effect as long as the hazard is present, as determined by the BHWG.

OPERATIONS

Reference. AFI 91-202, The USAF Mishap Prevention Program

1. GENERAL.

a. Purpose. This annex provides information on specific bird-strike hazards and recommendations for countering each hazard.

b. Mission. See basic plan.

2. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS. Ascension AAF has a reasonably well-documented historical database of bird strikes and bird activity on and around the airfield. The following discusses local bird hazards, and presents recommendations for reducing or circumventing the hazards:

a. Local Hazards. Ascension Airfield is located on the southwest portion of Ascension Island and is bounded by water on three sides and mountainous terrain on the fourth side.

(1) Wideawake/Sooty Tern. Bird activity is basically seasonal, when the terns arrive for the nesting season (Phase II). *See NOTE below:

NOTE: Per AFI 91-202, Phase II represents times of significant increases in local wildlife activity, normally associated with migratory movements, seasonal increases of local wildlife populations, or local land use practices. Sooty terns at Ascension Island breed on a sub-annual cycle of approximately 9.6 months. They are colonial nesters, often forming mixed colonies with other species such as noddies (see

Appendix 3). Each pair produces a single egg that is incubated by both parents for approximately 30 days, with chicks fledging at 8-10 weeks. The majority of Sooty terns return to breed for the first time at

8-9 years old and may live for more than 25 years. Even though this is not an annual cycle, for Ascension

AAF this nesting season most closely approximates Phase II criteria.

The breeding areas are to the south and southeast of the departure end of runway 13. While present, they are active all hours of the day and night. After the eggs have hatched, bird activity and hazards will increase as predator birds arrive on the scene during the daylight hours.

(2) Ascension Frigate Bird. This species is a predatory sea bird. Though no strikes have historically occurred, because of size and potential flight path conflict with landing aircraft these birds create the main hazards to aircraft. Predominately found over water where control measures have no to little effect.

(3) Miscellaneous Bird Species. Indigenous to the island are: Fairy (White) Terns, Red-billed and

White-tailed Tropicbirds, the Brown and Black Noddy and Masked, Red Footed, and Brown Boobies.

These various birds are found predominantly to the northeast of the airfield and normally are not a hazard to aircraft. Other common introduced birds include: Red-necked Spurfowl, Common Mynah, House

Sparrow, Common Waxbill and the Yellow Canary.

C-1

NOTE: As areas nearer to the field have increased vegetation, this hazard may increase.

(4) Mammals. Sheep and donkeys are the primary mammalian strike hazard to aircraft. Fences and cattle grates have reduced their presence near the airfield.

NOTE: Contract AFM will ensure these fences are maintained and replaced when corroded before reaching the point they are no longer effective.

b. Safeguards. When the Wideawake Terns are nesting, the tower and Fire/Security personnel will ensure the runway is clear of FOD and animals. The Fire/Security personnel will search for bird activity and report their findings to the ATC controller for aircrew advisory. Takeoffs may be delayed if hazardous bird activities exist.

c. Notification. All airfield users should watch for animals on the field and report sightings to the

ATC controller, if on duty, or to RAF Operations at other times. In addition to avian presence, donkeys and sheep run wild on the island and are to be considered a factor also.

3. BIRD HAZARD WARNING SYSTEM: OPERATION BIRD WATCH.

a. General. This operation establishes procedures to be used for the immediate exchange of information between ground agencies and aircrews concerning the existence and location of birds that could pose a hazard to flight safety.

b. Bird Watch Conditions. The following terminology will be used for rapid communications to disseminate bird activity information and implement unit operational procedures. Bird locations should be given with the condition code. Location should include relation to traffic pattern and altitude if available.

(1) BWC SEVERE. Bird activity on or immediately above the active runway or other specific location representing high potential for strikes.

(a) Do not conduct flight operations except in an emergency without MSG Det 2/CC approval.

(b) Airfield flying operations will be suspended until AMOPS personnel or Fire/Security personnel disperse the birds and downgrade the condition. If the situation occurs while an aircraft is inbound, the ATC controller will advise the inbound aircraft of the situation.

(c) The pilot can elect to hold until the bird hazard is abated or may elect to land depending on his fuel situation. Emergency aircraft and aircraft in critical phase of flight (during initial declaration of

“Severe”) may land at pilot discretion if that is the safer option.

(2) BWC MODERATE. Bird activity near the active runway or other specific locations representing increased potential for strikes.

C-2

(a) Operational commanders will consider restricting formation departures, approaches, and pattern work.

(b) To increase the chances of seeing and avoiding birds, avoid hard turns or excessive climb angles.

(c) During BWC Phase II periods (see AFI 91-202), accomplish one approach to a full stop unless mission needs warrant additional approaches and sufficient fuel exists to divert if BWC changes to severe.

(3) BWC LOW. Bird activity on and around the airfield representing low potential for strikes.

c. Bird Watch Alert. In addition to the above bird watch conditions, a Bird Watch Alert may be declared by airfield management, tower or RAF Operations personnel for weather, time of day, or seasonal conditions which make an influx of birds onto the airfield likely (e.g., during or after rain storms and especially when water pools around the airfield). All personnel supporting or involved in aircraft operations should be aware of the increased likelihood of bird hazards to flight safety and report bird activity to RAF Operations.

d. Authority. The Ascension AAF contract AFM, ATC controllers, and Fire/Security are the declaring authority for a bird watch condition. These personnel may declare a bird watch alert based on ground observations and/or pilot reports.

e. Communications. Bird watch conditions will be disseminated by the following means:

(1) During airfield operating hours, bird watch conditions other than LOW will be included in the hourly weather observation. When an ATC controller declares a bird watch condition, MODERATE or

SEVERE, he/she will notify RAF weather, contact AFM, Fire/Security, RAF and USAF Base

Commander, and the RAF Operations Center. They will post the bird watch condition in the flight planning room for transient aircrew personnel.

(2) The primary means of transmitting bird watch conditions to pilots will be via RAF Operations and Control Tower. However, under bird watch condition SEVERE, ATC Control personnel will ensure that pilots have received and understand the condition and are provided the option to delay or divert until the hazard has been reduced to at least bird watch condition MODERATE.

(3) ATC controller will relay a bird watch alert to RAF Operations Center, Fire/Security, and the

Base Commander.

(4) During bird watch condition MODERATE, a reevaluation will be made by contract AFM, at a minimum, every hour, and use inputs from the various agencies available. If needed, an airfield inspection will be accomplished. Under bird watch condition SEVERE, the Airfield Manager and

Fire/Security personnel will employ all available means in an attempt to decrease the bird watch condition to MODERATE.

C-3

f. Dispersal Operations. When bird activity is reported or observed, contract AFM or Fire Protection personnel upon notification will immediately respond to the area.

g. Aircrew Responsibilities and Procedures.

(1) If an aircrew observes or encounters any bird activity while in flight that would constitute a hazard, they should contact the Control Tower. The following information should be included:

(a) Call Sign

(b) Location

(c) Altitude

(d) Time of sighting

(e) Type of bird (if known)

(f) Approximate number of birds

(2) Supervisors will impose these restrictions based upon the bird watch conditions and the location.

(a) Condition SEVERE. Airfield flying operations will be suspended until birds are dispersed and the condition is downgraded to moderate or low. If this condition occurs while an aircraft is inbound, the aircraft commander will make the determination whether to land given his fuel and available alternate landing airfields.

(b) Condition MODERATE. Touch and go maneuvers and low approaches will be limited to the minimum required for training. Pilots will be particularly aware of bird activity when on final approach and will initiate a go-around immediately if a bird strike is imminent.

(c) Condition LOW. Continue with normal operating procedures.

(3) Report all bird strikes on a BASH (AF Form 853, Appendix 2 to Annex Y of this plan) report within 3 working days of the incident.

h. Downgrading. Once a bird watch condition or bird watch alert has been declared, it will remain in effect until revalidated and downgraded by appropriate personnel. The contract AFM or ATC controller is the authority for downgrading a bird watch condition or alert.
