Then the more the aviation technology improves, the better the aircraft’s performance and airport’s efficiency are. Along with the increasingly interaction between nations, passenger and cargo air transportation have tremendously increased. However, bird-strike events have also increased and bird-strike threatening has continuously haunted human being for such a long time. At first, bird-strike events were regarded as natural disasters, no one was obliged to take the responsibility and airport managers just took passive actions on preventive activities, such as occasional chasing or threatening birds on airfield. In recent years, bird-strike became a much more serious problem, ICAO then set the rule in the international civil aviation agreement, “all national aviation authorities should do their best to decrease birds’ appearance around the airport, and promote aviation safety”. Since 1973, in several international bird-strike lawsuits, aviation authorities and airport managers were all defeated and were charged a great amount of compensation. Since then, every nation spared no effort to set up organizations in preventive bird strike. In year 2000, ROCAF lost a Mirage jet in a night flight and unfortunately,the fighter pilot failed to survive from the bird-strike accident that had drawn national intensive attention. With the guidance and assistance from The Civil Aviation Bureau and The Taiwan Flying Safety Foundation, ROCAF compiled statistics about avian fauna and bird-strike events on and around its 12 airbases. In 2001, 2002, 2003 year, with project module, ROCAF requested civil professionals and academic researchers, who have expertise in animal protection and ecology, to do related analysis. In 2004, ROCAF took over the following analysis; conducted 57,428 effective objections and set 1,144,480 bird identifications. This research is based on the statistics and analysis of ROCAF Air Base Avian Fauna Survey in Y2000 and The Civil/Mil. Bird-strike event Analysis of Taiwan Flying Safety Foundation in Y2002-2004. Through intensive studying of avian fauna on and around main aerodromes and related factors in bird strike events, the most threatening bird to each aerodrome and the riskiest aerodrome for suffering bird strikes can be concluded. By reviewing Taiwan’s current bird -strike prevention and referring to the advanced measures in foreign countries, several conductive suggestions for related authorities are presented as follows: 1. In systematic aspect, current national bird strike preventive agencies and systems should be reorganized and refined, the law basis for every preventive activity should be strongly fortified, and all available resources in every area should be integrated. 2. In performing aspect, ROC should perform all identifications of avian fauna around aerodromes as well as activity surveys, extend the capability for bird-strike remains identification, reconfirm the threatening birds on and around aerodromes, settle the lowest risk eco-environment for bird-strike prevention, request eco-friendly improving, avoid high risky factors while assigning military and civil flight sorties, modulate appropriate military aircraft to eastern airbases, and enhance involving of related international bird-strike events and information exchanging. In order to lower bird strike risk, the authority should continue to perform every current passive measure and collect related statistics and data secondly to none, and manage aerodromes in eco-friendly and low risky ways. Only by doing so, can a “win-win” vision between aviation safety and eco-protection be realized.
