Part 3: You will listen to three different communications between pilots and air traffic Controllers. The recordings will be played twice. there is a five-second pause before the recording is repeated. After listening to the recording, you should tell everything that the pilot and the controller said.

Now tell me, in your own words, everything that the pilot and the controller said.

Under what situations would you reject a takeoff?

Now tell me, in your own words, everything that the pilot and the controller said.

What problems may birds cause when they are flying near the airports?

Now tell me, in your own words, everything that the pilot and the controller said.

How can runway incursions be avoided?

Now, considering the three situations you have heard in part three:
How would you compare them? You may want to compare them in terms of severity, possible solutions and ways of prevention. Which one do you think is the most difficult to deal with? Why?

Considering the three situations, the most difficult and dangerous in my opinion is a bird strike with a flock of birds right after take off, because many birds can cause serious damages to the aircraft on a critical phase of the flight.

An accident can happen easily, specially if both engines flame out before V2 speed and the aircraft doesn’t have enough altitude to come back to the airport or to go to an alternative runway.
To avoid it, airport authorities should take control measures to avoid birds in the area.

An engine stall during take off is more difficult to deal with than a runway incursion by a dog because if it happens after V1 speed, pilots will face a high workload and the risks are very high during take off.
To avoid it, It’s recommendable regular and preventive maintenance .

A Runway incursion caused by a dog while the aircraft is taxiing is the easiest situation for the pilots because they have to hold position without risks and wait for the airport staff to solve the problem.
Only a delay may be caused.
To avoid it, the best thing to be done is providing fences or walls around the runways to avoid animals crossing it.
