Episode Synopsis "Investigating significant strikes"

Although most wildlife strikes do not result in significant damage or catastrophic consequences, having a well-defined system for investigation when this does occur will help explain why the strike occurred, how it may be avoided in the future, and it may even be useful is cases of litigation. Significant strike investigations collect key data relating to the species, the aircraft, the airport, meteorological conditions, and so on, to provide a complete picture of the strike event. Dr Jeff McKee joins Kylie Patrick to talk about the how and why of strike investigation.
