    Exploratory Study on Deployability of Distress Call Bird Repellent System at Airport
    (UMT, Lahore, 2020) Abdullah Ashfaq, Abdul Moeez Jamal and Nabeel Abid khan
    This study provides the methodological approach for deploying bird repellent system at airport. The airport chosen for deployability is Walton Aerodrome Lahore, and system for deployment is distress call system. The project is divided into two categories, evaluation of airport and distress call system effectiveness check. Evaluation process of Walton Airport consists of survey of Pilots as well as Engineers, and observation of airport. During evaluation it was identified that Black Kite, Crow and Pigeon are the 88% of total number of birds and responsible for 95 % of bird strike at aerodrome. It was identified during distress call system effectiveness check that system works effectively on Pigeons, also the habitual condition, nesting behaviour, and attraction of crows is identified. Although system can play a role on rainy day but the system didn’t work on Kites and Crows so it is not recommended for Walton Aerodrome Lahore
