 Birdstrike Data Integration With ArcView at Santa Barbara Airport Track: Transportation Author(s): Sara Iza The Santa Barbara Airport (SBA) sought to link its birdstrike Access database with its departmental ArcView software-based GIS in order to begin collection of locational information of bird strikes at SBA and develop a novel way to analyze and manage bird strikes on and near the airfield. The Airport Engineering and Planning Division worked in conjunction with Airport Operations to develop a procedure for data collection of locational information of bird strikes in combination with the previously required FAA Form 5200-7 for data collection of new bird strikes in an Access Database. The birdstrike Access database was linked to ArcView using the ArcView SQL connection feature. The ability to analyze locational information related to individual bird strikes has allowed SBA to assess risks to aircraft, identify environmental hazards that could contribute to bird strikes, and enhance experimental methods and data collection for ongoing studies in the Goleta Slough Ecological Reserve.
