FAA tomorrow will issue a "proposed order" to block the public from gaining access to voluntarily reported wildlife strike reports, including bird strikes.
At issue is the continued flow of incident information from airlines, pilots and airports, the agency explains. The submissions are the heart of the agency's wildlife hazard database, a tool in place for nearly two decades and already populated with more than 100,000 records of strikes, each record having more than 100 separate data fields.
