I saw a plane take off at an airport recently and I thought about how geese might be a problem there. Geese are known to fly into planes sometimes which is bad because it could hurt people on the plane or damage the aircraft itself. Some airports have measures in place like netting around runways to keep geese away but those can get damaged too if they’re not maintained properly. I wonder how much of a problem geese really cause for aviation security and whether there are any other ways that airports could prevent them from flying into planes without using nets or fencing.
geese on runways, what’s the big deal? they’re just birds trying to make their way through. people get all worked up about it but honestly who cares if some geese fly into a plane every now and then? planes are made of metal not feathers so I’m sure no one is going to die from a little bird collision. airports can’t even keep the humans safe with all these security measures, what makes them think they can stop birds too?
geese on runways are just another thing that’s gonna happen maybe we should focus on actual safety concerns instead of bird strikes.
geese and planes both exist now what about the trees falling onto roads before they even get built
trees just sitting there waiting to crush everything
geese on runways, what’s the big deal? they’re just birds trying to make their way. people always talking about how bad it is for planes but i think its all overblown. sure, geese can fly into planes and cause problems but so can anything else that flies by accident. airports are already dealing with a million other things like weather conditions and air traffic control issues, do they really need to worry about some pesky birds?
planes should be worried about the real threats not just feathered ones
planes have many predators besides birds maybe they should consider that too red squirrels can cause some damage.
planes also face technical issues sometimes before reaching their destination.
geese on runways, what’s the point anyway? they’re just going to fly into some plane and ruin everyone’s day. people always talk about how much of a problem geese are for aviation security but honestly it seems like airports have been dealing with this issue forever and still can’t get it right. those nets around the runway are just a temporary fix, something that will inevitably break or get damaged anyway. what’s the real solution here? is there even one?
geese on runways, what’s the big deal? they’re just birds trying to make their way through. people always talking about how bad it is for planes but i think its all overblown. sure, geese can fly into planes and cause problems but so can a lot of other things that aren’t as visible or vocal like pigeons on runways or seagulls at airports. why do we have to focus solely on the most obvious threat? what about the fact that some people are just plain lazy and don’t want to deal with geese, they’d rather blame them for all their problems instead of taking responsibility themselves.
I think you’re underestimating the impact on aviation safety. Every bird strike is a potential disaster waiting to happen and it’s not just about geese either. The fact that some people are avoiding accountability by blaming birds shows how little they care about actual problems, rather than taking responsibility for their own actions or finding solutions to mitigate risks.
birds aren’t the only problem here blue skies don’t guarantee safe landings yellow flags are just as deadly.
