Risk Assessment Keberadaan Burung di Lingkungan Bandar Udara Studi Kasus: Bandar Udara Soekarno-Hatta

Abstract

/ ABSTRAK The presence of birds in the airport area is a danger to aviation. Collisions between aircraft and birds have potential to damage the aircraft which is very detrimental to the airline financially and fatal accident. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) provides recommendations to all member countries to take preventive and anticipatory actions to control and reduce bird populations by conducting Risk Assessment and Habitat Management so that airport is not becoming attractive places for birds. This research aims at conducting a Risk Assessment on bird species in the airport environment, a case study at Soekarno-Hatta Airport. Hazasd Risk Assesment is carried out using two methods, namely the based method (Sowden et al. 2007) and the modified method based on location, flight altitude and number of birds popullation. The results of the analysis of the two methods indicate that there are no bird species with a very high risk of bird strike hazard at Soekarno-Hatta Airport. Based on the modified method, there are five species of birds with a high risk of bird strike danger, namely Rice Heron (Ardeola speciosa), Buffalo Egret (Bubulcus ibis), Silver Egret (Ardea intermedia), Red Heron (Ardea purpurea), and Bluwok Heron (Mycteria cinerea). Meanwhile, based on the approach (Sowden et al. 2007) there are three types of birds that have a risk of causing significant danger in the event of a birdtsrike, namely the Bluwok Heron, the Gray Heron (Ardea cinerea), and the Asian Snakehead (Anhinga melanogaster).
