Bird-strikes are reported more than 14,000 times a year, and experts say that there are even more incidents that go unreported. “The most important thing pilots can do, if they do have a bird-strike is to report it. That involves getting online and filling out an FAA Form 5200” said Gary Cooke, head of the NBAA bird-strike working group. Gary Cooke shares the three most important things to know about bird strikes in this week’s NBAA Flight Plan podcast.
The NBAA Flight Plan podcast, which ran from 2009 to 2025, provided an overview of important developments affecting NBAA members, and the association’s work to advocate for their interest. The archive of past episodes will remain available for your enjoyment. Please note that no new episodes will be released.
