Episode Synopsis "How to manage flying-foxes"
Dr Jeff McKee, Avisure’s Director of Research & Development joins Kylie Patrick to talk about large bats called flying-foxes. Infringing critical airspace sometimes in their thousands, they can present a serious strike risk, and are difficult for airports to manage, not just because of their numbers but also because they rarely use the airport itself as a resource. In this episode we introduce the flying-fox, why they are a strike risk, and how airports and other aviation stakeholders can mitigate their risk.
