2. Additional opportunity. As described in AMENDMENT Reference No AMD-880308-3 we are working on applying the bird activity measurements from both a high and low risk perspective. The initial proposal describes how we will reduce the risk of birds strikes when bird activity is high. However, if we can also identify low risk time periods airlines might be able to increase speed in departure (due to the lower probability of a collision with a bird) this has several positive effects. Firstly, by increasing departure speed limitations we can enable the airlines to fly the most economical speed and thereby reducing the amount of fuel used and subsequently reducing cost. Secondly, by reducing the fuel used use we will also reduce emission of CO2. If we can support the implementation of this solution airlines will reduce cost and emission thereby creating both value and a positive environmental impact.
