01 / HOW TO USE IT

Counts first. Caveats beside them.

A filed-report database is evidence about reports. It is not a complete census of strikes or a direct ranking of airport safety.

01

Open an airport

See complete-year trend, season, phase, damage, wildlife, and aircraft.

02

Check the denominator

Traffic-normalized figures appear only for a matching BTS covered-flight window.

03

Read “reported” literally

The FAA says reporting is voluntary and intensity varies.

04

Trace the source

Every profile names its fields, threshold, period, and limits.

03 / THE IMPORTANT SENTENCE

More filed reports do not automatically mean a more dangerous airport.

Flight volume, wildlife presence, reporting culture, outreach, and data completeness all shape the record. Runway Wildlife publishes useful comparisons without turning that uncertainty into a mystery score.
