The Airside safety performance indicators for January 2014 indicate that AIA has performed
within acceptable levels of safety in most areas. However, special attention should be given to
the reduction of bird strikes and wildlife Hazards. Three (3) bird strikes and three (3) wildlife
hazard incidents were recorded in January 2014 as compared to zero incidents within the same
period of 2013.

The following measure should be put in place to reduce the bird strike and other wildlife hazard
incidents;
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.

STATUS OF AIRSIDE LIGHITNG, MARKINGS AND SIGNS

The Civil Aviation Regulations for Airside lighting serviceability/availability is 80%. The following
lights fall below the regulatory requirements and need immediate attention;

MARKINGS AND SIGNS

The runway closure sign on runway 21 gives pilots approaching the aerodrome wrong
information. This sign on runway 21 should be obliterated without delay to avoid any
unforeseen circumstances.

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

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

CONCLUSION
The identified safety deficiencies on the airside need to be addressed as soon as possible to
improve safety at AIA.
