This video shows viewers what happens when a strike is reported, from the initial report entry to how the data is analyzed and then used on a national, regional, and airport level.

If you experience a strike please download the Wildlife Strike Reporting Form, fill it out and mail it in. It is double sided and designed so that you fill out one side, fold it, tape it closed and drop it right in the mailbox – no postage necessary. The FAA also makes available an online reporting system at the Airport Wildlife Hazard Mitigation web site or via mobile devices at I have also included here the Advisory Circular that provides more details on what constitutes a strike and specifics on reporting.
