 One (1) wildlife hazard incident and an unconfirmed\kd bird strike were recorded for JUNE
2014. The Year-To-Date (YTD) statistics on bird strikes, recorded 0.3 bird strikes per 1000
movements and YTD wildlife hazard statistics is 0.74 per 1000 movements.

The following measures should be put in place to reduce the hazards identified for the month
under review.
1. Overgrown weeds and other bird and wildlife attractants should be cleared regularly
2. Increase bird patrols especially around the Touch Down Zone of runway 21
3. Construction of Dwarf fence wall on the South Eastern portion of the airport should be
expedited to prevent access to the airside by wildlife.

Efforts should be made to provide temporal lighting for all operational areas with defective
lights captured under KIA Phase III works.

Markings should be provided to indicate emergency vehicle holding positions at the new RFFS
station. This is to ensure that emergency vehicles do not infringe the runway safety areas whilst
holding position.

The general airside signage at KIA does not meet the standard and recommended practices of
the CAA regulations. The KIA Signage plan under the Phase III project should be implemented as
soon as possible.
