When I was in the US Military in Illinois they had a local bird of prey rehab facility bring their "patients" to the airfield several times a week to help with birdstrike prevention.
dont be so quick judging... how do you know about his pilot skills? avionics exams are harder than creating youtube vids, and even then if your hands are shaky, and you hit hard on landings i still dont want to fly on your plane. just kidding, keep up the good work cj!
@@codingvio7383 you know, this is kind of thing i like to see for myself. but Captian Joe is the best source of commercial flying info in yt, so top skills are assumed. :)
Perfect timing on this video as the Utah Jazz just had to make an emergency landing because their charter encountered a massive bird strike! Check out the pics if you haven't seen them yet.
Hands down the best aviation channel for amateur pilots or people who like aircrafts in general. His explanations are clear, concise and accurate. Love him!
I miss Piper he was such a awesome little guy. He passed away a few years ago but he was known across the US from his Social Media following. He was friendly and loved the attention from his fans. It was devastating when he passed away. I'm on the other side of the state from where he was working but I still was able to get out and see him once.
That flapping-wing drone was amazing! I didn't know anyone had managed to make a flapping-wing aircraft that actually flew (other than birds, of course)
*sees captain joes video on home page “Huh, random but interesting” *scrolls down and sees American A320 bird strike on VAS Aviation from 4 hours ago “Seems less random now”
I'm hooked on Captain Joe's videos. Always had an interest in aviation and his videos provide great insight in a down to Earth way with a nice touch of humor.
A local gentlemen had a company that raised and trained birds of prey. He would use falcons, eagles etc to manage bird control at large airports as well as refineries
This has happened to me 3 times... Each time, the collision was inevitable ... Fortunately no damage to the helicopter or the passengers and me. But the death of the small bird was very sudden...
3:00 The other thing about a cover is that even hypothetically, if an aircraft had a cover installed, and the cover prevented a bird from entering the engine, the bird would still have a good chance of causing compressor stall or a severe reduction in thrust because of the drag it would create.
KTVC is my home town airport, and I live within easy walking distance. Sadly we lost Piper to cancer three years back. I've looked for information, but I don't know if the airport has recruited and trained a new service dog. As a big fan of working herding dogs, I hope they have.
Christopher, Last I heard, Brian, Pipers handler, was not in a big hurry to replace Piper, but maybe by now, time has healed his loss, and he will be ready to train a replacement, we can hope.
Back in 1972-74, I was stationed at RAF Woodbridge. They used Falcons to clear the airfield of birds. WE watched as they trained a new bird, their facility was across the road from our Avionics shop. For weeks they kept him on a lanyard and trained him. Then the first day off of the lanyard, he made one circle of the field, and gone, He must have forgotten where he was and left for home. For the most part, the falcons worked, we had no bird strikes while I was there and plenty of birds in the area.
The GE 190x test platform. I love that video! It’s amazing how much abuse aircraft engines can undergo without flaming out. And when the engine doesn’t fail spectacularly, they purposefully ‘blow’ off one of the blades on the intake fan lol
Fun Fact: La Guardia was the first airport to install the Radar where the ATC can see the birds in the radar after US Airways Flight 1549. Fact: Pilots in Ural Airlines Flight 178 were listed in the black list even they are heroes.
I'm a student pilot and I've experienced potential bird strike twice. One during take-off, which isn't a threat because you're accelerating from a slow speed which would scare them away. Second is in the air me and my instructor just turn to avoid them otherwise we would have a propeller strike.
I used to plan Army/Air Force airfields and see the personnel fire blanks when they see birds. They also mow the grass at a specific height to minimize them coming around the runway/taxiways.
I'm so sorry to hear that. I was just about to post that the Piper segment was my favourite part of the video. I've just read the Washington Post article on his passing; heart-rending.
I spent time in Dublin airport with the fire brigade there, they have a 24/7 job of driving around the airport with blank firing guns and replacing propane tanks on air cannons etc Was fun coordinating the blank firing with ATC who would work in a gap for us to get right alongside the runway and fire the blanks to scared the birds away in between arriving and departing aircraft.
Wildlife prevention employees are crazy here, usually there is 1 driver and 1 shooter. I've seen them driving on the taxiway gun out of car window shooting birds. One colleague of mine was even accidentally shot in the hand by a rogue bullet fired by a wildlife prevention guy. This happened at ESSB (Stockholm-Bromma Airport) a few years ago. (Not even joking)
Collegues pilots, birds good see the switching of light (landing light the best)and then fly away, it is easy to check on your car. When I was flying as a flight engineer, I also switched the lights on and it worked. Cap.Joe , Thanks.
Captian Joe. Thank you for making videos. It means a lot to me. I someday want to become a pilot like you. I also want you to know that you are my diol. You always make my day when you upload a video. Again thank you for all your hard work with transporting goods around the world and making videos for us. I appreciate it so much.
At MSP (Minneapolis/St. Paul), a large area at the NW end of the main runway is a dedicated dog park. I never see birds there. It's a clever use of the land that promotes flight safety!
Athens airport actually had (maybe still do) a contract with a local aviary to come and fly birds of prey. The birds of prey don’t actually have to eat all the other birds because once the birds think a predator has moved in they go elsewhere.
my neighbour here in Toronto is hired to bring his falcon to the airport, and it was just released the crash of the snowbird jet was a bird strike so birds are a major problem at every airport
Hey Captain Joe, love your videos coz you inspire me into becoming a pilot I have learned so much from you and I still follow you to learn more. God Bless you *J* 🛫👏👏
When birds do hit i believe that ring on outer edges that connects fan blades could make blades more robust and prevent them from braking into the engine. Bird parts rarely do damage inside compressor, but titanium blade does serious damage + engine is out of balance and starts vibrating.
I have a Supersonic sound device mountet at my car. It should preventing wildlife interference while driving. It is self propelled and works at speed over 60 km/h. This device is rather small, but in a larger scale this might work,
the laser is very effective and can be done from quite a distance, they are quite expensive for a decent one about £360 for a porttek laser strike. they use them at my place of work to keep the gulls away from the food waste containers, Gulls seem to like waste chicken so we get very large amount of them.
we’ve had a bird strike last month, we didn’t notice anything, after landing we’ve found the marks, blood and birds debris on the right engine, the mechanics checked it out, cleaned it and they left 3 blades with dints in them saying all parameters checked OK, after that the airplane flew uneventfully, but starting to develop vibration increases records on the right engine, last was 3.8 on takeoff power, the airplane then deemed unsafe to fly and has been grounded until the blades have been changed and a realignment was made before we took it back to the skies. This was a Boeing able to chew on the bird/s and kept flying for almost a week before the engine started to approach unsafe level of vibrations.
I get used to the sound of my alarm clock too and tend to turn it off in my sleep. I experimented with various odd places to put my alarm and multiple alarm clocks but the thing that works best is to change the sound that is played by the alarm because then it isn't a matter of the routine of turning my alarm clock off, which I can very easily do in my sleep. I wonder if the same thing wouldn't help to deter birds from hanging out near the airport.
I like the idea of the bird-of-prey drone, because it's flexible to locations, and _looks_ threatening rather than just _sounding_ threatening. Only problem might be the vibrations induced by the flapping motion might wear out the components faster, thus leading to higher maintenance costs.
@captainjoe or anyone else, do you know the specific source video for the bird clip (hawk, I think, capturing flight with side of head) at 0:39? It's absolutely stunning and I've never seen a bird body camera from that angle. It's amazing to watch it's eyes scanning the horizon as it brushes past the mountain tops. I've been searching through your sources but can't find that video. Great video, as usual, thanks!
Captain Joe's videos are like completing your cpl through online class but the student's attention 100%
True, very true
The bird be like:
We just had a MASSIVE plane strike
"Lost 2 of our aircrew"
This made me laugh too much xD
Sure, most of the bird strikes are not that hard on the planes, but they are devastating on the birds.
@@danuttall yes but I definetly care more about a plane over a single or a few random birds lol

It's never boring either way dude. Come on.

First technique: AVOID BIRDS.
1:03 RIP Birb :(
The problem with putting something in front of the engine to stop birds from entering is that you also stop air from entering

I believe all birds should be put on mandatory training programs on how to be safe around airports.
Key takeaway:
Cut grass = Birds
Long grass = No Birds
Fun Fact: La Guardia was the first airport to install the Radar where the ATC can see the birds in the radar after US Airways Flight 1549.

Brilliant video Joe! The use of the bloody obliterated bird graphic when discussing the JAL study was especially fantastic ! :-)
Thank you joe for all the information you give and we appreciate the job you do to deliver our parcels 🛫✈️🛬🛩🛩👍👍
Great video Captain.
Another fact regarding the mesh grills is that if a bird or flock hit the mesh and got stuck it would block the airflow and suction of the engine.
Oh there are new models on the wall. I really like the Millennium Falcon!
Well even tho I am in April 2nd due to my time zone and location, great vid sir! This is more important then sleeping at 12:36 AM! 👍🏽
The force is strong with this one it is.

Can you make a video about cosmic radiation to pilots. Risks and your own opinion?
Very good video . It is only because of you sir that I got interest in aviation.
Sadly Piper died a few years ago, he was at our local airport, Traverse City Michigan KTVC he is Missed dearly

Hello from Atlantic Canada Captain Joe! I'm a grad level STEM student and find your videos super entertaining and informative!

Make a laser grill? With mirrors, it could be made pretty innocuous. And with photons, no drag!
Fascinating! Thanks Joe.
