The Production Team
Six years in the making, the first edition of Sharing the Skies compiled information collected by Transport Canada. Under the direction of Bruce MacKinnon, cooperative education students from the University of Waterloo and the University of Manitoba gathered, researched and analyzed much of the content. Additional material was created through private consulting-firm contracts paid for and managed by Transport Canada. Jacques Whitford Environment Limited of Ottawa, Canada, managed and administered the contract to produce Sharing the Skies.
Appendix C — Bird- and Mammal-strike Reporting Procedures
Introduction
The geographic location of bird and mammal strikes determines how and where reports are filed. As this book concerns primarily North American jurisdictions, this Appendix concentrates on Canadian and American bird- and mammal-strike reporting procedures.
Recognizing that aviation is a worldwide activity, we have suggested a general process to report international bird and mammal strikes. In the event of a strike, however, aircraft operators and pilots should contact the governing aviation regulatory body to determine proper reporting procedures.

Glossary
Active management • A type of wildlife management in which short-term solutions, such as pyrotechnics and distress calls, are employed to disperse wildlife from airport property.
Aerodrome • Any area of land, water (including ice surfaces) or other supporting surface used, designed, prepared, equipped or designated for the arrival and departure, movement or servicing of aircraft. Includes all associated buildings, installations and equipment.
Aeronautics • The science, art and practice of aerial navigation.
