Wildlife Hazards
 
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Airport Safety and
Operations Division AAS-300 issued a Certalert on June 11,
2009 to remind airport operators of their obligation under 
Part 139 Requirements to conduct wildlife hazard assessments.
Airports who have experienced a triggering event as defined in
 Section 139.337(b) of the regulations must conduct a full one
year, four season wildlife hazard assessment. Furthermore,
 airports that have not experienced a triggering event are
encouraged to voluntarily conduct the assessment.
