Abstract In every Airport, management options are facing different issues that may cause problems for aviation operations. Hazard identification and risk modeling must be the priority of airport management. Our research focused on runway safety, so that is very important, and it has various risks. Factors affecting flight safety include runway incursion, runway excursion, loss of control on the ground, bird strike, etc. Collision with wildlife is one of the most critical factors affecting the environment. Our study goal was that bird strikes pose a significant threat to aviation safety worldwide. This issue has two perspectives; first, wildlife significantly affects safety by increasing collision risk with airplanes. Second, the aviation operation causes danger for animals’ lives and, consequently, to the environment. To carry out the research method, we attempt to present a historical background and record of wildlife collision and their environmental risks and simultaneous a way to identify these hazards and control their impacts. An essential part of the research results was introducing two hazard identification forms and wildlife risk modeling at Sardar-e-Jangal international airport of the Rasht City of Iran. The risks summarized in this case, from March to September 2019. The results of daily observations showed that a variety of birds always used the runway. Based on observation, safety risk modeling has been done. Most birds that collide with aircraft were of the Pheasants type, as a relatively large bird species. Given all of these factors, the severity of this hazard is catastrophic. So the safety risk index is 5A and unacceptable. Therefore, it is necessary to make specific arrangements, especially, Abundant rivers, canals, and waterways in the Airport, creating diverse vegetation that attracts small insects and animals (rodents, amphibians, etc.) needed food, shelter in vegetation. In addition, making the right environment for childbirth, high rainfall in the Medium to a long-term action plan for each according to local circumstances.

Introduction A “bird strike” collides the bird with an airplane during flight operation (Metz et al. 2020). Several factors can cause this strike. A severe case can lead to severe problems such as a plane crash and death. Military and civilian airports worldwide have taken various measures to reduce these incidents, preventing early bird strikes that have been costly and ineffective. It injured too many birds that were not necessarily harmful and involved killing birds as a prevention method.
