Scarecrow - Off Aerodrome Reporting (O.A.R) Software

We call it O.A.R.: Off Aerodrome Reporting.

This powerful software tool has been designed in consultation with four international airports and the CAA (UK) to ensure it offers:

• A cost-effective way for airports to demonstrate due diligence and best practice
• An easy-to-use way to monitor and record off aerodrome bird activity
• A powerful set of tools for analysis and reporting
• Instant integration of off aerodrome insights with recorded bird behaviour within the airport, when used in conjunction with the B.I.R.D. TabTM System

O.A.R. is a cost-effective solution to reducing bird strike risk through regular off aerodrome reporting

This comprehensive solution provides you with everything you need to monitor, record and analyse off aerodrome sites that may pose a bird strike risk.

• A touch-screen tablet, equipped with GPS and camera, displays pre-configured information for speed of recording
• A powerful set of tools offer instant trend analysis for ‘on-the-spot’ decisions and detailed data visualisation for reporting
• Integration with the B.I.R.D. Tab^TM System rapidly reveals correlations between off aerodrome behaviour and behaviour on the airfield itself
• Wireless or flash drive data transfer into the Reporting Analysis Software loaded onto your airport system
• Scheduling and automatic notifications to save you time

There are no on-going payments required to provide you with everything you need for best practice off aerodrome reporting.

• Support is available seven days a week
• The hardwearing tablet has been field tested for many years as part of our B.I.R.D. Tab^TM System
• There is no expiry to the software license, and both hardware and software are covered by a 36 month warranty, which can be extended to 72 months for an additional cost either upon purchase or after the initial warranty has expired

Off aerodrome monitoring and bird control: Best practice guidelines from ICAO and CAA

Over the last decade the importance of the land-use and habitats that surround airports has increasingly come under scrutiny.

Various international aviation authorities have now clearly indicated that, as a bare minimum, airports should be closely monitoring all bird strike risk within a 13-kilometre radius of their airfields.

Yet, until now, there has not been a simple, cost-effective solution to recording such data.

We have spent several years consulting with bird control decision makers at four major international airports and liaising with bird specialists and consultants as well as  the CAA, to ensure that O.A.R. offers everything that is needed to meet best practice and exercise due diligence.

1. O.A.R. makes recording what is observed off aerodrome quick and simple
2. This capture of quality data enables detailed reporting and analysis
3. And with this your airport is best-placed to manage bird strike risk more efficiently and effectively
