The Accident Bird Strike in LaGuardia

When they added a 35 second buffer in there, like these captains had in order to try to figure out what was happening, they never made it back to LaGuardia. No amount of mitigation would have stopped this incident from occurring because the birds weren't from the area. The next finding, although currently no technological regulatory or operational changes related to wildlife mitigation, including the use of avian radar could be made that would lessen the probability of a similar bird strike event from occurring considerable research is being conducted in this area. Some airports are testing out bird radar for lack of a better term to call it avian radar.
