Aero-Linx!
Scouring the information super airways can sometimes be a tough, if educational, task for the Aero-News staff... but it also allows us to check out some truly neat and exciting sites, so it's not that bad a gig. On any given day, we may check dozens (and often hundreds) of different sources for story ideas, and facts confirmation. And, as is the nature of our business, much of this is done on the Internet.
The ANN gang decided we probably shouldn't keep some of the neat sites, info resources, and organizations we've discovered to ourselves... so we decided to bring you Aero-Linx. These are the sites that WE check out -- when we need added perspective, a new spin on a day's topic... or just want to escape into cyber-aero-space for awhile.
Look for some of our favorite sites, coming each day to ANN via Aero-Linx. Suggestions for future Aero-Linx segments are always welcome, as well.
Aero Linx: The Bird Strike Association of Canada (BSAC aka Birdstrike Canada)
The Bird Strike Association of Canada (BSAC aka Birdstrike Canada) is a leader in airport wildlife strike prevention. By fostering dialogue within the industry, the BSAC seeks and advances innovative ideas in aviation safety. Our mandate includes setting standards, promoting best practices, exchanging information, addressing industry issues by formulating effective strategies and implementing change through regulatory means. The Committee consists of individuals and organizations with responsibilities for and/or interests in the management of wildlife hazards at airports. The committee is meant to provide a forum for communication of news, discussion, ideas and information that will enable those responsible for airport wildlife risk reduction to better perform their roles and to stay connected with others conducting airport wildlife mitigation work throughout Canada. Birdstrike Canada is guided by a Steering Committee with representatives from government, airports and the private
sector. The association holds annual meetings and is the Canadian host of the North American Bird Strike Conference held jointly by Bird Strike Committee-Canada and Bird Strike Committee-USA.
