Program Evaluation Report Card Tool for Wildlife Hazard Management Plans: User Guide

The threat of wildlife strikes with aircraft is increasing due to larger bird populations and quieter aircraft. The challenge of managing this risk has prompted the development of Wildlife Hazard Management Plans (WHMPs) by airport operators, which are required to be reviewed regularly. However, there is little guidance available to assess the effectiveness of these plans over time.

ACRP Research Report 250: Program Evaluation Report Card Tool for Wildlife Hazard Management Plans: User Guide, from TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program, is designed to assess the effectiveness of these plans in reducing the risk of wildlife strikes with aircraft over time.

Supplemental to the report is a PERC Tool designed to determine the overall effectiveness of airport WHMPs.
