An Open Letter To The Civilian Aviation Industry
Tue 07/10/2003
DON'T LET IGNORANCE BE AN EXCUSE
ClickAirport, Scarecrow Bio-Acoustic Systems, NH Bird Management and QinetiQ are working as a Group to raise awareness of best practice bird and debris control processes offered by new and emerging technology. The Group will promote their adoption within those organisations responsible for due diligence in improving and maintaining total flight safety.
The Group believes that although airport operators in some countries are using the tools available to them wisely, other airports (often popular holiday destinations) associated airlines, tour operators, insurance companies, regulators, industry associations, lawyers and risk consultants perhaps do not realise that technology now exists which can provide considerable safety enhancements at reasonable cost. Any reluctance to implement available and emerging technology suggests that total flight safety is being unnecessarily compromised.
This Group calls on all organisations in the civil aviation industry to consider their assessment procedures for ensuring their contribution to flight safety is upheld. Further, they should challenge whether their processes could be considered as falling short of the best practice approach of many airports. We are all in the business of Risk Management where a lack of awareness can lead to hazardous and even fatal circumstances.
