CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- Bird strikes are one of the major threats to aviation safety. Once a bird hits a high-speed aircraft, the energy generated is equivalent to a car at high speed hitting a solid wall, which may cause damage to the aircraft and lead to a crash in serious cases. In Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport, a group of people are guarding the air safety; that is, the anti-bird controllers.

Bird Strike Prevention Controllers, commonly known as anti-bird controllers, are mainly responsible for daily monitoring of bird activity situation, birds-driving, investigation of bird activity situation, ecological environment management and the implementation of effective prevention measures to reduce the occurrence of bird strikes and ensure the safety of aircraft and passengers.

Recently, Chongqing is so hot and sunny, and the whole flight area is without any shade under the scorching sun. Deng Di, the deputy leader of the Anti-bird Detachment of Field Protection Unit of the Flight Area Management Department, was inspecting the anti-bird nets. Working for his eighth year, he told us that the nets could scare and deter birds from crossing runways and taxiways without harming them.

"Bang, bang, bang!" The gas cannon on the tarmac made the sound of repelling birds. It is said that at present, the airport drives birds in a variety of forms and devices. In terms of audio repellents, it includes functional bird repellent vehicle, gas cannon and ultrasonic bird repellents; visual bird repellents have wind-powered bird repellents, colored bird repellent windmill, flags, bird scarecrow and flashing lights.
