EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

An investigation was initiated by the Federal Aviation Administration(FAA) Technical Center in September 1986 to determine the numbers, weights,and species of birds which are ingested into medium and large inlet areaturbofan engines during worldwide service operation and to determine whatdamage, if any, results. This report summarizes the three years of Boeing-737(B737) data that were collected by the engine manufacturers, the FAA, and theInternational Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) as part of a separate datacollection.

This report includes the ICAO data in the statistical analysis. Theprevious report (report number DOT/FAA/CT-90/28 (1]) was based only on thethree years of data collected by the engine manufacturers and the FAA becauseonly the first two years of ICAO data were available. Previous reportscovered just the first year of data (report number DOT/FAA/CT-89/16 [2]) andthe first two years of data (report number DOT/FAA/CT-89/29 [3]).

The main difference between this report and the previous report is thatthere is a substantial increase in the number of foreign bird ingestion eventsthat were reported. There was no change in the total number of B737operations so that an increase in reported ingestion events results in anincrease in estimated ingestion rates and probabilities for foreignoperations. The statistical tests that were performed throughout the reportwere not significantly affected by the increased data.

Figure E-1 is an overall summary of the data that were collected during

the 3 years of this investigation which extended from October 1986 throughSeptember 1989. A totn1 of 8.91 million aircraft operations were flown byB737 commercial aircraft during the 3-year ppriod. B737 aircraft equippedwith Pratt and Whitney JT8D medium inlet area turbofan engines accounted for71.8 percent of these flights. The remaining 28.2 perrent of the flights weremade by B737 aircraft having CFM International CFM56 large inlet area turbofanengines.

During the three years of data collection, birds were ingested by one orboth engines during 1,410 aircraft operations which yields a probability ofaircraft ingestion of 1.58 x 10-4. One or more birds were ingested into bothengines of the aircraft during 58 of the 1,410 nircraft ingestion events.Thus, a total of 1,468 engine ingestion events were reported during the datacollection period. There were 17.82 million engine operations during thisperiod which yields a probability of engine ingestion of 8.24 x 10-5. Aconclusion of these data is that bird ingestion events are rare, but probableevents.

The species of the ingested bird was reliably identified 253 times. Theorder charadriiformes (shorebirds) was most frequently represented with 99ingested birds. The majority of ingested birds (238) weighed 40 ounces orless. The bird weight distribution of ingested birds in the United States wasdifferent from the distribution in foreign countries. The median bird weightin the United States was 4 ounces higher than abroad; however, the domesticmean bird weight was 1.9 ounces lower than abroad. The bird ingestion ratewithin the United States was significantly lower than the foreign birdingestion rate.

majority of engine ingestion events (1,208 of 1,468) involved asingle bird and a single engine on the aircraft. The remaining 260 engineingestion events involved 144 single engine, multiple bird events, 23 dualengine, single bird aircraft ingestion events (46 engine ingestion events), or35 dual engine, multiple bird aircraft ingestion events (70 engine ingestionevents). Multiple birds were ingested in both engines in 29 of the 35 dualengine, multiple bird aircraft ingestion events which resulted in 208 multiplebird engine ingestion events. There were a total of 58 dual engine aircraftingestion events which when combined with the 144 single engine, multiple birdengine ingestion events totaled to 202 aircraft ingestion events involvingmultiple engines and/or multiple birds.

Engine damage occurred in 39 percent of all engine ingestion events, andthere were 180 engine ingestions that resulted in engine damage classified asmoderately severe or worse. The majority of bird ingestions resulted inlittle or no engine damage.

The majority (856 of 1054) of aircraft ingestion events, for which thephase of flight was known, occurred within the airport environment duringtakeoff and landing. The probability of engine damage is greater when thebird ingestion occurs during the takeoff and climb phases of flight than whenit occurs during approach and landing. Aircraft airspeed at or above 140knots also increases the probability of engine damage.

It was determined that 2.9 percent of all engine bird ingestion eventsresulted in an engine failure. Eight engine failures were caused by birdsthat weighed less than or equal to I pound. Engine failures are also morelikely t. occur when multiple birds are ingested into an engine.

SECTION 1INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND.

Contention for airspace between birds and airplanes has created aserious bird/aircraft strike hazard. Past studies [1,2,3,4] have indicatedthat birdstrikes to engines are statistically rare events. The probability ofa birdstrike during any given flight is extremely low; however, when thenumber of flights is considered, the number of birdstrikes becomessignificant.

The windshield and the engines are particularly vulnerable to thebirdstrike threat. Although penetration of the windshield by a bird isprimarily a concern for military airplanes operating at high speeds in a low-altitude environment, such a penetration has occurred on a civilian airplane

* resulting in the death of the co-pilot. Ingestion of birds into turbineengines is a safety problem for commercial as well as military airplanes forit can cause significant damage to the engine resulting in degraded engineperformance and very possibly failure.

In their studies of bird ingestions on commercial flights, both Hovey[1,2,3] and Frings [4] indicated that nearly all bird ingestion events haveoccu:red in the vicinity of airports during the non-cruise phases of flight.This is understandable because these phases of flight naturally occur closerto the ground where bird concentrations are higher, resulting in a higherprobability of birdstrike.

The solutions to the problem of engine damage resulting from birdingestion are similar to those for windshield birdstrike, e.g., structuraldesign consideration to withstand impact or bird avoidance. Bird avoidancecan be facilitated by either of two approaches: (1) keeping airplanes out ofairspaces with large bird concentrations, and (2) removing birds from theseregions of airspace. The bird avoidance approach can have various degrees ofsuccess or failure for commercial air fleets because flight schedules placeairplanes in specific areas at specific times and the effectiveness of airportbird control programs (if any) varies from airport to airport and country tocountry.

Structural design of engines to withstand bird ingestions can beaccomplished provided that requirements with respect to bird weights andnumbers can be identified. Bird ingestion data for medium/large inlet areaturbofan engines and small inlet area turbine engines [5,6] have beencollected by several engine manufacturers. Statistical evaluation ofbird ingestion data from these data collection efforts and previous birdingestion studies will be useful in re-evaluating certification test criteriaspecified in Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Regulation 14 CFR 33.77.As a result, future turbine engines can be designed to withstand morerealistic bird threats.

1.2 OBJECTIVES.

The objective of this report is to determine the relationship of birdweight, number of birds ingested, geographic location, season, time of day,

Page 15: FAA Technical Center o ofthe Boeing 737 747 DO/FACT9/32 Engine Bird Ingestion FAA Technical Center Atlantic City International Airport o N.J. 08405 Experience ofthe Boeing 737 Ail

phase of flight, and engine type to the frequency of bird ingestion events andthe extent of engine damage, if any, resulting from the ingested birds. Thestatistical analysis of reported bird ingestions experienced by commercialB737 aircraft worldwide over a 3-year reporting period is used to summarizethe service threat and level of engine damage experienced by these aircraft.The findings of the analysis will be helpful in defining minimum engine designrequirements for resistance to damage as a result of bird ingestions.Moreover, this study will provide a comparison between the experiences of acontemporary high bypass ratio turbofan engine (CFM56) and an older low bypassratio turbofan engine with a smaller inlet (JT8D) exposed to similar aircraft-bird ingestion environments.

This is the second report on the 3-year data collection period. Therewere three major sources of bird ingestion data for the 3-year period: theengine manufacturers, the FAA, and the ICAO. At the time the first report wasprepared, the data from ICAO were not available for the full 3-year period.This report represents an update of the first report with the ICAO dataincluded in the analyses.

SECTION 2AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS AND AIRPORT OPERATIONS

Aircraft operations and airport operations data are used to determinebird ingestion rates. Operations data (and their sources) used to generatebird ingestion rates are discussed in this section. Definitions are providedto aid in understanding these data.

An aircraft operation as defined in the glossary is a nonstop flightfrom one airport (departure airport) to another airport (arrival airport) andconsists of seven phases of flight which include: (1) taxi-out, (2) takeoff,(3) climb, (4) cruise, (5) approach, (6) landing, and (7) taxi-in. An airportoperation is considered either a departure from or an arrival at an airport.When all scheduled flights are considered, the number of airport operations istwice the number of aircraft operations.

The Official Airline Guide (OAG) is the data source for scheduledairport operations. Counts of airport operations involving B737 airplaneswere extracted from OAG magnetic tapes and maintained by airport code. Thecounts were further categorized by month of year and hour of day so thatseasonal and time of day analyses could be performed.

Table 2.1 presents the OAG airport operations counts by seasonal monthsfor the 3-year period. The counts are also broken down by several geographicregions. Table 2.2 presents the same airport operations counts as Table 2.1;however, an adjustment for hemisphere has been made. It should be noted thatthe number of aircraft operations for each of these categories is one-half thenumber of airport operations. Frings [4] defines autumn in the NorthernHemisphere and spring in the Southern Hemisphere as the months September,October, and November. The collection period for each year of B737 data wasOctober through the following September. Consistency with Frings ismaintained in Table 2.1 and Table 2.2 by grouping operations counts forOctober and November with the operations counts of the following September.

Table 2.3 presents two cross tabulations of airport operations by monthand OAG destination-arrival code. The first tabulation includes all airportsat which one or more B737 operations were scheduled during the reportingperiod. The second tabulation is a subset of the first and includes onlythose airports at which a bird ingestion event was reported during the 3-yearperiod. The destination-arrival code is taken directly from the OAG tapes andits values are presented as a footnote in Table 2.3.

A tabulation of aircraft operations by engine type and geographic regionis required to obtain bird ingestion rates for these parameters. Table 2.4presents a tabulation of B737 aircraft operations by engine type andgeographic region for the reporting period. The OAG operations data identifyimplicitly the geographic region through the airport code and also identifyexplicitly whether the airplane is a B737; however, the engine type of theairplane is not reliably identified in the OAG data. The aircraft operationspresented in the ALL ENGINES column of Table 2.4 are derived by dividing theairport operations in the TOTAL column of Table 2.1 by 2. The aircraftoperations for the CFM56 engine were provided by the engine manufacturer asactual flights flown during the reporting period and are considered reliable.

Similar data were not available for the JT8D engine. The JT8D aircraftoperations were therefore derived by subtracting the CFM56 aircraft operationsfrom the total aircraft operations for both engines.

The engine manufacturers provided the FAA with a listing of monthlyoperations counts for their respective engine types; however, the counts didnot agree with the OAG counts. Monthly percentages for each engine type werecalculated from the engine manufacturer's data and subsequently applied to theJT8D and CFM56 engine totals in Table 2.4 to estimate monthly aircraftoperations for the reporting period. Figure 2.1 is a histogram showing theestimated aircraft operations for each engine type.

SECTION 3CHARACTERISTICS OF INGESTED BIRDS

This section provides a description of the birds that were ingestedduring the data collection period and an analysis of the extent of the birdingestion threat. The bird related features that are described in thissection include species, weight, seasonal trends, time of day trends, andgeographic location.

A detailed breakdown of aircraft ingestion events in the United Statesis presented in Figures 3.1 and 3.2. Figure 3.1 is a contour map of thecontiguous United States with the height of the contours being proportional tothe number of aircraft ingestion events in each state while Figure 3.2 is abar chart with the same information plus Alaska and Hawaii. Texas andCalifornia have the greatest number of ingestions followed by Hawaii, Florida,Illinois, and New York.

Table 3.1 provides a tally of all the species that were positivelyidentified by an ornithologist during the collection period. The counts inthe US, Foreign, and Overall columns of Table 3.1 indicate the number ofaircraft ingestion events in which each bird species was ingested. Thespecies are listed by order and family and it is apparent that the gulls,doves and lapwing/plover families of the order charadriiformes (shorebirds)are the most commonly ingested birds worldwide. The order columbiformes(doves/pigeons) appear to be a bird ingestion problem for the United Stateswhile the order falconiformes (hawks/vultures) poses a significant threatabroad.

One of the disappointing features of the B737 bird ingestion data baseis the low bird identification rate. The bird species was positivelyidentified in only 237 out of 1,410 aircraft 4ngestion events that wererecorded giving a 16.8 percent identification rate. The identification ratefor engine ingestion events in which an engine sustained damage (23.4 percent)was almost 74 percent greater than the identification rate for events whichcaused no engine damage (13.3 percent); which could indicate that the group ofidentified birds is biased to include more birds in the size and weight rangesthat tend to damage engines when ingested. Any conclusions about thepopulation of ingested birds should be viewed with the caution that the samplemight be more representative of the population of birds that damage enginesthan of all birds that are ingested.

The species-related descriptions of ingested birds in this reportprobably provide a conservative view in that the birds that caused damage arebetter represented in the sample than birds that did not cause damage. Thebird features that influence damage cannot be discerned, however, because ofthe possible bias in the identifications. That is, the differences betweenthe birds that cause damage and the birds that don't cause damage cannot bereadily identified since there is less information about the birds that didn'tcause damage.

Table 3.2 is a frequency table of weights for the positively identifiedbirds. The bird weights are derived from the species identification and whenpossible are adjusted for the age and sex of the ingested bird. The modes in

Table 3.2 therefore represent the weights of the more commonly identified birdspecies that were ingested. Figure 3.3 provides the same information in theform of a histogram. Most of the ingested birds (77.5 percent) that wereidentified in this study weighed less than or equal to 20 ounces; however, 6.7percent weighed more than 20 ounces and less than or equal to 32 ounces and15.8 percent of the identified birds weighed more than 2 pounds.

Summary statistics calculated from the raw data for the United States,foreign and worldwide bird weight distributions are presented in Table 3.3.Note that the weight of one ingested bird per event is included in the birdweight distribution for multiple bird engine ingestion events. The mean,median and mode are three different concepts for the typical or average valuewhich measures the central tendency of the distribution. The mean bird weightis the sum of the bird weights for all ingestion events divided by the numberof events included in the sum. The median weight diviaes the weights into twogroups with half the weights below the median and half above. The mode of thebird weights is the weight that has the highest frequency in the data set.The median and mode are more relevant measures of the average for the birdingestion problem. The mean weight would be important if damage were relatedto the cumulative weight of all birds ingested by a single engine since themean is based on the total weight of the ingested birds.

A pattern suggestive of a sine function is seen in Figure 3.4 which is abar chart of monthly bird ingestions for the data collection period. Thecyclic pattern in aircraft ingestion events reflects seasonal bird activity.The start of a cyclic pattern is also seen in the ingestion rate data whichindicates that the trends are due to the changing bird population and notchanges in air traffic activity. Time trends in bird ingestions are furtherinvestigated on a seasonal basis in the following paragraphs.

The seasonal bird ingestion rates for the Northern and SouthernHemispheres, the United States and foreign countries and the whole world arepresented in the bar chart of Figure 3.5. Here the ingestion rates are notbeing compared by engine type so the ingestion rate R is simply calculated as:

R = Ing . 10000Ops (3.1)

where Ing is the number of ingestions and Ops is the number of aircraftoperations in the time period being considered. The rate is expressed asingestions per 10,000 aircraft operations.

Seasonal trends were investigated using a Chi-squared goodness-of-fit(GOF) analysis. The Chi-squared value for testing the hypothesis that thenumber of aircraft ingestion events does not vary with the seasons is 170.3.The critical value for testing at the five percent level of significance is7.81 while the 0.5 percent level is 12.8; therefore, the high value of thetest statistic is a very strong indication that ingestions do vary with theseasons.

The winter data were eliminated in an effort to better identify thenature of the differences between the seasons. Testing for the equality ofthe ingestions for spring, summer and autumn also yields a significantdifference with a test statistic of 82.19 and a five percent critical value of

16

5.99 which is also a very strong indication that ingestions vary betweenspring, summer, and autumn. Further testing between summer and autumnproduces a test statistic of 23.9 which is also much larger than the fivepercent critical value of 3.84 for comparing two groups. Seasonal ingestionrates rank highest to lowest with summer, autumn, spring, and winter.

The time of day distribution of bird ingestion events is illustrated inFigure 3.6 with time of day reduced to the four basic segments of morning,mid-day, evening and night. There is a noticeable drop in the number ofingestions at night and the Chi-squared test for equality of the four timeperiods indicates that they are not the same. The Chi-squared test statisticis 104.9 while the 99th percentile of the Chi-squared with three degrees offreedom distribution is 11.34.

There are two likely reasons for a drop in ingestions during the night.Birds are not generally nocturnal so that bird activity is reduced at night.Also, there are fewer flights scheduled at night. A lessened exposure due tofewer flights and fewer birds results in a reduction in the number ofingestions at night.

SECTION 4INGESTION RATES

This section describes the rates at which bird ingestions occurredduring the 3-year collection period covered in this report. The Poissondistribution is commonly used to describe how events are randomly scattered intime and the bird ingestion data are shown to agree with the assumptions of aPoisson process. The first part of this section provides the estimates of thebasic ingestion rates. The second part describes the Poisson distribution andhow it relates to t., bird ingestion events. The final parts discussstatistical analyses oased on the assumption that bird ingestions follow aPoisson process.

4.1 INGESTION RATE ESTIMATES.

This sub-section provides a general description of ingestion ratesbroken down by location, engine and phase of flight. The rates are given interms of ingestions per 10,000 aircraft operations and have been adjusted tothe inlet area of the engine to allow size independent comparisons betweenengines. The inlet area used throughout this report is called the "fat liparea" and was specified by the Boeing Company for each type of engineinstallation. A more detailed statistical analysis of ingestion rates iscovered in the next section using statistical techniques for Poissonprocesses.

Table 4.1A lists the United States, foreign and worldwide ingestionrates for both the JT8D and the CFM56 engines as well as a composite rate forall 737 aircraft. The inlet area adjustment was done using a 10-square-footunit area on the basis of the total inlet area of both engines to keep therates in a reasonable range. The composite rates in each geographical regionare weighted means of the inlet area adjusted rates for the individual enginesand are determined as follows: the number of ingestions per 10 square feetinlet area for each engine is projected by multiplying the rates by the numberof aircraft operations. The composite rates are calculated by dividing thetotal projected ingestions for both engines by the total aircraft operationsfor the geographical region. Table 4.1B lists engine ingestion rates based onengine operations and normalized for the engine inlet area. The numbers inparentheses in Tables 4.1A and 4.1B reflect the number of ingestions wheregeographic location and/or engine type was not known.

The ingestion rates for the CFM56 engine were calculated using reportedaircraft operations for specific geographical regions. The ingestion ratesfor the JT8D engine were calculated using estimated aircraft operations forspecific geographical regions. The details of the calculation were presentedin Section 3, equation 3.1.

Figure 4.1 shows monthly ingestion rates subdivided by engine type andadjusted for inlet area so that a comparison between engine types can be made.The adjusted monthly ingestion rate (Radj) for an engine type is expressed asingestions per 10 ft 2 per 10,000 aircraft operations is calculated as:

Raj = Ing . 1440 . 10000 (4.1)2 IA Ops

where Ing is the number of monthly aircraft ingestion events for an enginetype, IA is the inlet area (in 2 ) of the engine type, and Ops is the number ofaircraft operations for the month. Twice the engine area is used becausethere are two engines on each B737 aircraft. The constant 1440 is the factorfor converting square inches to units of 10-square-foot areas.

The phase of flight ingestion rate tabulation is presented in Table4.2A. The method used to calculate ingestion rate I is expressed in Equation3.1. The area adjustment used for ingestion rate 2 is implemented usingEquation 4.1. The highest ingestion rates were in the takeoff and landingphases followed by the climb and approach phases. There were very fewingestions during the taxi and cruise phases of flight. This pattern istypically seen in bird strike and bird ingestion studies and is indicative ofthe fact that airports are often located in desirable bird environs. Sincebirds congregate around airports there is a greater chance of striking oringesting a bird during the phases of flight that take place close to theairports. Also, commercial airline cruise routes are well above the altitudein which birds are usually found. Table 4.2B lists engine ingestion rates asa function of phase of flight. The differences in ingestion rates betweenTables 4.2A and 4.2B are due to multiple engine ingestion events.

4.2 THE POISSON PROCESS.

The Poisson process is the simplest type of stochastic process whichdescribes how events are distributed in time. The Poisson process is heretaken to govern aircraft ingestion events and the times at which they occurare random. In a Poisson process the events are distributed somewhat evenlyin time so that it appears that the times at which the events occurred form auniform distribution. This section describes some of the properties ofPoisson processes that will be useful in describing bird ingestions and intesting hypotheses about bird ingestion rates.

The basis of a Poisson process is a description of the probabilitydistribution of the number of events that occur in a given time interval. Theformula for the probability of n events in an interval of length T is:

P(X(T)=n) = n1 (4.2)

The parameter A is the mean rate at which events occur and the mean number ofevents in the length T time interval is AT. The time scale that will be used

in this study is number of aircraft operations. Ingestion rates are typically

reported in events per 10,000 aircraft operations which implies the use ofaircraft operations as the time scale in a Poisson procens.

One derivation of the formula for the Poisson distribution is the

limiting distribution of the binomial distribution for large sample sizet. Ifwe assume that the probability of a bird ingestion is the same from flight to

flight then the number of ingestions in a large number of flights has abinomial distribution. If the probability of ingestion is p and the number of

flights is N then the probability that n ingestions occur in the N flights is:

P(X(N)-n) -(N) pn(-p)(N-n) (4.3)

The binomial probabilities in Equation 4.3 can be approximated by a Poissondistribution with mean Np for large values of N. That is, the single flightprobability of an ingestion, p, replaces A in Equation 4.2.

An important question that can be investigated through the Poissonprocess model of bird ingestions is the influence of inlet area on theingestion rates. Past studies [7,8] in bird strikes have used the assumptionthat the probability of a bird strike is proportional to the cross sectionalarea of the aircraft. Applying the same concept to engines implies that thebird ingestion rate should be proportional to the inlet area of the engine.

The inlet area effect can be incorporated into the Poisson process modelby letting the parameter A represent the ingestion rate per unit area. Theprobability of n ingestions in N operations for an engine with inlet area Ais: e-AAN(AAN)"n

P(X(N)=n) = n! . (4.4)

4.3 VALIDITY OF THE POISSON PROCESS MODEL FOR BIRD INGESTIONS.

The applicability of the Poisson process model can be tested byanalyzing the times between ingestions. The interarrival times in a Poissonprocess are random variables that have independent exponential distributionsand the mean time between arrivals is the reciprocal of the ingestion rate.The validity of the Poisson process model can be tested by applying agoodness-of-fit (GOF) test for the exponential distribution to the timesbetween ingestions.

The times between ingestions are measured by the number of days betweenaircraft ingestion events. Normally the number of aircraft operations betweenaircraft ingestion events would be used; however it is impossible to measurethis directly. The number of days between aircraft ingestion events providesa suitable measure of the time between ingestions since daily aircraftoperations are reasonably consistent.

The GOF test for the exponential distribution is a modified Kolmogorov-mirnov (K-S) test comparing the observed cumulative distribution function(CDF) to the predicted exponential CDF based on the sample mean. The K-S testuses the test statistic D defined as the maximum distance between the observedand predicted cumulative distribution functions. A modification to thecritical values for the test statistic is required when the predicted CDF isderived from the mean of the sample. The critical values for the modified K-Stest were computed by Liliefors [9]. The critical value for a 0.05 level ofsignificance when the sample size, n, is larger than 30 can be approximated by1.06 /%n-.

The modified K-S test was run on six subgroups of the data broken downby engine and location. The six groups were (1) domestic (United States)JT8D, (2) contiguous United States JT8D, (3) foreign JT8D, (4) domestic CFM56,(5) contiguous United States CFM56, and (6) foreign CFR56. Figures 4.2through 4.7 compare the observed and predicted cumulative distributions foreach of the six groups, respectively. In each case there is a very closevisual agreement between the observed and predicted CDF's.

The visual similarities are verified by the statistical tests which aresummarized in Table 4.3. The mean time between ingestion events is given incolumn one. The sample size given in column two is the count of times betweenIngestions and is one less than the number of aircraft ingestion events. Thecritical value for a five percent significance level (D*) is in column threeand the test statistic (D) is in column four. The assumption that the timesbetween ingestion events come from an exponential distribution cannot berejected at the five percent level in five of the six groups. The use of aPoisson process to model bird ingestions is appropriate based on these testresults.

The one group that does not pass the exponential goodness of fit test isthe foreign CFM56 ingestions. The test statistic for the foreign CFM56 groupis nearly equal to the critical value and the maximum deviation occurs at 1.5days. Since the time between ingestions is recorded to the nearest day, roundoff error could adversely affect the observed CDF at 1.5 days. Since theother five groups are consistent with the Poisson model, the failed test forthe foreign CFM 56 ingestions is not sufficient cause to reject the use of thePoisson model for bird ingestion events.

4.4 INLET AREA EFFECT ON INGESTION RATES.

One property of the Poisson process model described in Section 4.2 isthat ingestion rates should be proportional to the inlet area of the ergine.The size effect can be investigated in the B737 bird ingestion data bycomparing the number of ingestion events of the JT8D with the number ofingestion events of the CFM56. According to Equation 4.4 the total number ofingestion events during the reporting period for a given engine has a Poissondistribution with a mean that is proportional to the number of aircraftoperations in the reporting period and to the inlet area of the engine. Thenumber of JT8D ingestion events out of the total number of ingestion eventswill have a Binomial distribution if the Poisson process model is valid.

The proportion of total ingestion events that occurred in JT8D enginesfor a particular geographic region should be:

OJ*AJP - OJ*AJ+OC*AC , (4.5)

where OJ and OC are the numbers of regional aircraft operations for, and AJand AC are the inlet areas of, the JT8D and CFM56 engines, respectively. Therelevant values for Equation 4.5 can be obtained from Table 4.1A giving anexpected proportion of JT8D ingestion events of P = 0.50 for United Statesingestion events and P = 0.62 for foreign ingestion events. The observedproportion of JT8D events is 0.47 for the United States and 0.73 for foreigningestion events. The test statistic to compare the observed proportion tothe predicted is the standard Z statistic for the binomial distribution givenby:

AZ - (P - P) / I(P * (I-P) I N), (4.6)

Awhere P is the observed proportion of JT8D engine ingestion events and N isthe total number of aircraft ingestion events for the geographic region.

The Z statistic defined in Equation 4.6 is used to test the nullhypothesis that there is no difference between the two types of engines iningestion rates for each region after adjusting for area. The test statisticsfor the two geographic regions are computed by substituting the observedproportions for P and the expected proportions for P in Equation 4.6. Thecomputed Z values are -0.87 for United States ingestion events and 7.310 forforeign ingestion events. The tests show no difference in ingestion ratesbetween engines after adjusting for area for the United States events;however, the test for foreign events is significant at the five percent levelof significance indicating that the area adjustment does not fully explain theobserved difference in engine ingestion rates for foreign events.

A second school of thought suggests that the relationship between enginesize and ingestion rate is described better as a linear function of inletdiameter than as a linear function of inlet area. A similar Z test can becomputed by substituting inlet diameter for inlet area in Equation 4.5. Theexpected proportions of JT8D ingestion events after an adjustment for inletdiameter are P = 0.59 and P = 0.70 for the United States and foreign events,respectively. The test statistics are Z = -3.97 and Z = 1.95 for the UnitedStates and foreign events, respectively. The null hypothesis is that there isno difference in ingestion rates after adjusting for inlet diameter and theconclusion of the test is that there is no detectable difference at the fivepercent level of significance for the foreign events but is different forUnited States events.

There appears to be an engine size effect on ingestion rates; however,it is not clear whether it is best described by inlet area or diameter. Theinlet area provides a good fit for the United States ingestions but not theforeign rates while inlet diameter provides a good fit for foreign rates butnot for United States rates. The discrepancy could be due to differences incollection rates between the geographic regions; however, there are no datathat could be used to determine whether collection rates variedgeographically.

SECTION 5AIRPORT BIRD INGESTION EXPERIENCE

The objective of the statistics of this section is to identify thefrequency and location of bird ingestion events at airports worldwide. Anaircraft ingestion event is the simultaneous ingestion of one or more birds byone or more engines of an aircraft. Bird ingestion data were provided by boththe engine manufacturers and the ICAO. Airport ingestion rates are expressedin terms of aircraft ingestion events per 10K airport operations.

The OAG tapes indicate that there are 1,143 airports worldwide for which17,821,706 B737 airport operations were scheduled during the reporting period.Appendix A lists the airport code, airport location, and both the number ofscheduled airport operations and number of aircraft ingestion events at theseairports for each of the three years in the data collection period. Birdingestion events were reported at only 345 of these airports. The OAG tapesshow that there were 12,805,445 scheduled airport operations at these 345airports over the 3-year period. There were also bird ingestion eventsreported by unscheduled B737 flights at 65 additional airports. These 65airports are included in Appendix A but there are no OAG operations counts forthem.

A complete summary of the airports having reported aircraft ingestionevents is presented in Table 5.1 as a frequency count of worldwide birdingestion events by phase of flight. The majority of aircraft ingestionevents occur during takeoff or landing. This table suggests that the threatof bird ingestion is posed primarily from birds which live near the airportand/or whose migratory path crosses over or near the airport property.

Figure 5.1 is a bar chart showing reported aircraft ingestion events atdomestic airports during the reporting period. There are 91 domestic airportsat which bird ingestion events have been reported. The largest number ofaircraft ingestion events reported in the United States during the 3-yearperiod was 10 at Dallas, Love (DAL) followed by 9 at both Houston (HOU) andLos Angeles (LAX). Of the 304 aircraft ingestion events reported in theUnited States, 89 events occurred at an unknown location and they are assignedto the airport code XUS on the bar chart.

Figure 5.2 is a bar chart showing reported aircraft ingestion events atforeign airports during the reporting period. There are 318 foreign airportsat which bird ingestions have been reported. The largest number of aircraftingestion events reported abroad during the period is 21 at Frankfort, Germany(FRA) followed by 14 at Amsterdam, Netherlands (AMS). Of the 1,104 aircraftingestion events reported outside of the United States, 265 events occurred atan unknown location and they are assigned to the airport code XFO on the barchart.

Table 5.2 lists all airports worldwide which experienced three or moreaircraft ingestion events during the reporting period. The airports arelisted in descending order of airport operations. The table includes thenumber of ingestion events, the number of scheduled OAG airport operations,and the rate of aircraft ingestion events per 10,000 airport operations.Unscheduled B737 operations are not reflected in the operations counts,

40

Page 54: FAA Technical Center o ofthe Boeing 737 747 DO/FACT9/32 Engine Bird Ingestion FAA Technical Center Atlantic City International Airport o N.J. 08405 Experience ofthe Boeing 737 Ail

whereas ingestion events occurring during either scheduled or unscheduledoperations are included in the event counts. Therefore unscheduled B737operations may account for the apparently higher ingestion rates.

The rates of bird ingestion events per aircraft operation summarizedpreviously in Table 4.IA are twice the zates uf bird ingestion events perairport operation. The number of reported foreign bird ingestion eventsexceeds the number of reported domestic ingestion events by a factor of 3.6;however, the number of foreign airport operations is slightly less than thenumber of domestic airport operations. The rate of reported bird ingestionsper airport operation is 4.3 times higher at foreign airports than at domesticairports. This implies that either (1) there are far less birds in theenvironment of domestic airports, possibly due to environmental controlprograms, or (2) foreign airline operators are much more conscientious andcooperative in reporting bird ingestions.

SECTION 6

ENGINE DAMAGE DESCRIPTION

The type of damage incurred by well-defined engine bird ingestion eventsis useful in refining bird certification test criteria that could lead toimproved engine design. In general, three parameters are used to describeengine damage and failure. The first is the type of damage incurred, thesecond is whether or not the engine failed and the third is a description ofthe crew action taken during the engine ingestion event. The first part ofthis section provides descriptions of the types of damage incurred during thestudy, the relationships between engine damage and bird weight, engine damageand phase of flight, engine damage and aircraft airspeed, engine damage andmultiple engine and multiple bird involvement, and the types of crew actionsimplemented as a result of the bird ingestion. The second part describes thestatistical analysis of the relationship between bird weight and thelikelihood of damage occurring in an engine ingestion event. The third partof this section provides estimates of the probabilities of a crew action or anengine shutdown. The fourth part describes the engine failures that were dueto bird ingestions.

6.1 ENGINE DAMAGE AND CREW ACTION DESCRIPTIONS.

The types of damage that were identified in the data base were groupedinto 14 categories which are defined in Table 6.1. Within the 3-year datacollection period all 14 of the categories occurred. Tabulations of theoccurrences of combinations of damage categories are presented in Table 6.2.The triangular top portion of the table provides tallies of co-occurrences forall pairs of damage categories. The number in the top portion represents thenumber of engine ingestion events in which both the row damage and the columndamage occurred. The events in which more than two types of damage occurredwere also included in the tallies of the top portion of Table 6.2. There were39 events in which three types of damage occurred, 101 events in which twotypes of damage occurred and 314 events with a single type of damage.

There are insufficient data in the top portion of Table 6.2 to make anystrong statements about correlations between types of damage. There is someindication that bent and dented fan blades accompany core damage and brokenand shingled fan blades and that leading edge fan blade damage accompanies fanblade shingling; however, these trends cannot be strongly substantiatedbecause of the small amount of data. The observed trends could provide thestarting point for further investigations into the damage mechanisms of birdingestions.

The bottom half of Table 6.2 provides tallies of the number of engineingestion events in which each damage category was the only type of damage andthe total number of events that involved each of the damage categories. Fewerthan three bent and dented blades, shingled blades and nacelle and spinnerdamage seem more likely to occur by themselves than other types of damage.When more than three blades are bent or dented there is a much higher chancethat some other type of damage will also occur. As with the trends identifiedin the top portion of Table 6.2, there is insufficient evidence to stronglysubstantiate these trends.

Table 6.3 and 6.4 describe the relationship between the weight of theingested bird and resulting engine damage. Table 6.3 shows the number of bothmultiple and single bird engine ingestion events as well as the total numberof events with and without reported damage in each specified bird weight rangewhere the bird was positively identified by an ornithologist. Engine damagesummaries are shown in Tables 6.4A for all engine ingestion events, 6.4B forsingle bird events, and 6.4C for multiple bird events. These tables were madeby tallying the damage codes from the events shown in Table 6.3 in eachspecified bird weight range.

Since many of the engine ingestion events have multiple damagecategories, the total number of damage categories does not equal the number ofengine ingestion events. Tables 6.4A, 6.4B, and 6.4C also show the damagesustained by those engines that were considered to have failed due to the birdingestion. (See section 6.4 for more information on engine failure.)

The amount of data available is insufficient to draw any correlationsbetween the weight of the ingested bird and the type of damage that occurs.However, Table 6.4A shows that 56 percent of the ingestions (111) in which thebird weighed less than or equal to 24 ounces caused no damage. In comparisononly 17 percent of the birds ingested that weighed more than 24 ounces causedno engine damage.

The relationship between engine damage, phase of flight and aircraftairspeed is shown in Tables 6.5 and 6.6. Table 6.5 depicts the relationshipbetween engine damage and phase of flight. Of the 1107 known phase of flightengine ingestion events, 61 percent occurred on takeoff and climb and 37percent occurred during approach and landing. Forty-five percent of theengine ingestion events that took place during takeoff and climb resulted inengine damage; in comparison, only 24 percent resulted in damage duringapproach and landing. This suggests a relationship between engine speed(thrust) and bird ingestion engine damage, since engine speed would typicallybe higher during takeoff and climb than during approach and landing. However,engine speed or power was rarely reported during the study. It should benoted that 35 engine failures occurred during takeoff and climb and only 2engine failures occurred during approach and landing.

Table 6.6 shows the number of engine ingestion events and the number ofdamaging engine ingestions known to have occurred below 140 knots airspeed andat or above 140 knots. The table also shows the phase of flight that thesedamaging engine ingestions occurred in those airspeed ranges. There were 13percent (41 percent versus 28 percent respectively) more engine ingestionsthat resulted in engine damage at or above 140 knots airspeed than those thatoccurred below 140 knots. It is also shown that a significantly greaternumber of damaging ingestions occurred during takeoff and climb than duringapproach and landing at both aircraft airspeed ranges.

Multiple engine and multiple bird ingestion events present the greatesthazard to aircraft. Table 6.7 shows the number of these event that occurred.Fifty-eight aircraft had bird ingestions into both engines during the sameevent, and twelve events resulted in damage to both engines. There were alsotwenty-nine events where multiple birds were ingested into both engines;

potentially the most hazardous bird ingestion condition an aircraft canencounter.

Table 6.7 also gives the number of engine ingestion events where morethan one bird was ingested into the engine. Of the 208'multiple bird engineingestions that occurred, 38 percent of the ingestions resulted in some enginedamage. In comparison 39 percent of the engines that. ingested a single birdresulted in some engine damage. Four percent of the mutiple bird ingestionsresulted in engine failures compared to three percent for single birdingestions.

There were four types of crew action identified in connection with theaircraft ingestion events in the data base. An air turnback was performed in128 of the events, the takeoff was aborted 129 times, a diversionary maneuverwas performed 16 times and in 21 events the crew action was listed as otherwithout specifying the type of action taken. There was no crew action takenin 719 of the aircraft ingestion events for which a crew. action entry wasrecorded, which is nearly 71 percent of the time. (One airplane crashed ontakeoff.) The crew action should correspond to the phase of flight in whichthe event occurred. No change in the flight is usually required when aningestion occurs during a landing maneuver. The aborted takeoffs and airturnbacks would most likely occur during takeoff and climb phases since therewere practically no ingestions during the cruise phase. However, there werethree air turnbacks as a result of a bird ingestion during the cruise phase.

6.2 PROBABILITY OF DAMAGE.

One of the key questions that inspired the bird ingestion survey is theissue of what weight bird should be considered for certification testcriteria. Two of the main issues in deciding what the certification bird sizeshould be are (1) the likelihood of ingesting a bird of the certification sizeor larger and (2) the likelihood that damage will result from ingesting a birdof a specified weight. The issue of bird weights is discussed in Sections 3and 7 while the probability of damage is the topic of this section.

The problem of relating bird weight to the probability of damage (POD)is similar to bio-assay experiments which try to predict the probability of aresponse as a function of dose size. The key elements of similarity are thatthe probability of success for a dichotomous (pass/fail) trial is related to acontinuous stimulus variable. In bird ingestions the dichotomous trial iswhether or not damage occurs and the stimulus variable is the weight of theingested bird.

Linear logistic analysis is the most commonly used met..od of analyzingthe dosage-response type of data and has been used successfully in relatingthe probability of transparencies breaking as a function of projectile size indealing with the problem of propwash blown gravrdl breaking helicopterwindshields [10]. The logistic distribution function is assumed to describethe relationship between the probability of damage and the bird weight in alinear logistic analysis. The logistic distribution function is liven by:

POD(w) - 1I{1+exp[-(nirj3)(w-/4)l]) (6.1)

71

Page 85: FAA Technical Center o ofthe Boeing 737 747 DO/FACT9/32 Engine Bird Ingestion FAA Technical Center Atlantic City International Airport o N.J. 08405 Experience ofthe Boeing 737 Ail

whero w is the bird weight, g is the weight with a 50 percent chance ofcausing damage and a is a parameter that is related to the steepness of thePOD function.

The estimation of the function given in Equation 6.1 has beenextensively studied and the methods have been described in the literature[11,12]. The method of maximum likelihood provides the best estimates for thetype of data in the bird ingestion study since there are only a few ingestionsat each weight. The software for estimating the parameters of Equation 6.1has been developed and extensively tested at the UDRI [13] and verified byresearchers at other institutions.

The types of damage were categorized as mild, moderate or severe by theFAA. Table 6.8 itemizes the types of damage that were included in each of theseverity categories. Three distinct analyses were conducted based on theseverity ratings. The three analyses estimated the probability of any damage,the probability of at least moderate damage and the probability of severedamage as a function of bias weight. Figures 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3 show theestimated POD functions along with confidence bounds on the POD functions forthe three analyses. Note that the figures are based on the weight of oneingested bird per event, not the total weight of all birds ingested in thecase of a multiple bird ingestion event.

Figure 6.1 shows the probability of any damage occurring and includesall three severity levels as positive responses. The probability of anydamage occurring rises very steeply reaching 50 percent at about 10.0 ouncesand the curve levels off at the 90 percent level at about 120 ounces. Therelationship between bird weight and the probability of any damage is verystrong and results in the confidence bound being close to the mean trendcurve.

The probability of moderate damage does not rise quite so steeply and adefinitive weight cutoff between birds that cause damage and those that do notcause damage cannot be identified. The probability of moderate damage reaches50 percent at 66 ounces and remains below 70 percent through the weight rangecollected in this study. The confidence bound shown in Figure 6.2 is furtherfrom the mean trend than the confidence bound in Figure 6.1 because the trendin the probability of moderate damage as a function of bird weight is not asstrong as the trend in the probability of any damage.

The probability of severe damage and its confidence bound are plotted inFigure 6.3 as functions of bird weight. The probability of severe damage ismuch lower than the probabilities of any damage or moderate damage. Is aresult, the curves are much flatter and rise much more slowly than the curvesin Figures 6.1 and 6.2. The probability of severe damage remains below 35percent through the weight range collected in this study.

The probability of damage analysis is clouded by the poor birdidentification rates. The estimated POD functions are likely to be biasedtoward higher POD values since there was a larger proportion of birdsidentified when engine damage occurred. The extent of the bias cannot beestimated accurately.

6.3 CREW ACTION AND ENGINE SHUTDOWN PROBABILITIES.

Two other factors that relate to the severity of engine damage arewhether or not a crew action is required and whether or not an engine was shutdown as a result of the ingestion. Table 6.9 lists the conditionalprobabilities that a crew action is required given the severityof damage thatthe engine incurs. The probability that a crew action is required increaseswith the severity of engine damage as expected. The third column of Table 6.9contains the upper 95 percent confidence bound on the conditionalprobabilities given in column two.

The formulae for the estimates of the conditional probability of a crewaction given the engine damage severity are:

AP NS (6.2)

P - + 1.645V N (6.3)CB N

A

In Equations 6.2 and 6.3, P is the estimated conditional probability of acrew action, C is the number of aircraft ingestion events in which a crewaction was taken and an engine sustained the giveni severity level, N, is thenumber of aircraft ingestion events in which an engine sustained the givenseverity level and Pcs is the upper confidence bound on the conditionalprobability. The constant 1.645 is derived from the cumulative normaldistribution function to give a 95 percent level of confidence.

An in-flight engine shutdown occurred in 46 of the 1,410 aircraftingestion events; which corresponds to an estimated probability of an in-flight engine shutdown given thnt: an ingestion has occurred of 0.033 with a 95percent confidence bound of 0.0/404. The reason for the shutdown was not knownin 25 of the events. An involuntary shutdown occurred seven times. Excessivevibration precipitated the shutdown nine times. The engine was shut downbecause of incorrect engine pressure ratio three times, incorrect engineparameter readings once, and high exhaust gas temperature twice. Inferencesabout the causes of in-flight shutdowns cannot be drawn because of the largeproportion of shutdowns in which the cause was not identified.

6.4 ENGINE FAILURES.

Engine failures are important areas to consider when analyzing theseengine bird ingestion events. For the purpose of this study an engine failurewas considered to have occurred when an engine was not able to produce andmaintain usable thrust of at least 50 percent for the use by the pilot of theaircraft. A transverse fan blade fracture and an involuntary engine in-flightshutdown were considered to be engine failures in all cases. Otherwise anengineering judgement was made based on the extent of engine damage, effect onflight, phase of flight, and any other factors that may have been provided inthe description of the event or investigation summary.

Table 6.10 provides a summary of some of the important data categoriesfor the engine ingestion events that resulted in an engine failure. Theconditional probability of an engine failure given that an ingestion hasoccurred is 0.029 with a lower 95 percent confidence bound of 0.021. Thelower confidence bound was calculated using the Z statistic for proportions.The overall engine failure rate for the 737 aircraft due to bird ingestion was0.005 failures per ten thousand aircraft operations.

Table 6.10 shows that a voluntary or involuntary in-flight shutdown ofthe engine occurred in 21 of the 42 engine failures. There was also a powerloss associated with 89 percent of the engine failures where there wasinformation reported in the power loss category. The most significant causeof engine failures appears to be transverse fan blade fracture which caused 27of the 42 engine failures.

Reviewing the bird threat data for these engine failures shows that thespecies of bird was identified and an estimated weight was available in only28 of the 42 engine failure events. The percentage of identifications is toolow to allow statistical inferences about bird weights. The trend for theweights that are available is that the birds ingested in failure events areheavier than the birds ingested in all ever-•. The mean of the weights forthe birds that were identified in failure events is 27.5 ounces which is 10.3ounces heavier than the overall mean. The higher mean for the failure eventsshould be interpreted as a pointer to a possible trend tlat should beinvestigated further since the weight identifications are low.

Twenty-one of the engine failures were caused by the ingestion of asingle bird and nine were caused by the ingestion of multiple birds. This isa much higher percentage than the fraction of all ingestion events whichinvolved multiple birds. This suggests that engine failure is more likely incases of multiple bird ingestion. Also, in 7 of the 28 engine failures wherethe bird weight was known, the bird or birds weighed more than 2 pounds.However, 16 were caused by birds that weighed less than or equal to I pound.Comparing this with the number of engine ingestions where the bird weight wasknown (Table 6.3), shows that 18 percent and 9 percent of the engine ingestionevents resulted in engine failures when the bird weighed more than 2 poundsand less than or equal to 1 pound, respectively.

Almost all of the failure events occurred during takeoff (33) with twofailures during the climb, one during the approach and one during landing.The phase of flight was unknown in five of the failure events. The enginelocation was split almost in half with 22 failures occurring in the leftengine and 20 in the right.

SECTION 7PROBABILITY ESTIMATES

This section provides a summary of the probabilities of various birdingestion events. The probability of an event is a measure of the likelihoodthat the event will occur. The probabilities in this section are calculatedon a per operation basis and present similar information to the ingestionrates. The ingestion rates that were presented in Section 4 were calculatedon the basis of 10,000 aircraft operations; however, it was shown in Section4.2 that the per operation ingestion rate is equal to the probability ofingestion for a single operation. This section provides more details on theprobabilities of various categories of bird ingestion events.

Table 7.1 provides the estimated probabilities and 95 percent confidencebounds for the whole B737 fleet for various aircraft ingestion events. Theoverall likelihood of an aircraft ingestion event in a single operation isslightly more than one in sixty-five hundred; and although the odds of havinga bird ingestion on any one operation are very small, there are millions ofB737 operations each year so that hundreds of ingestions are expected eachyear. Most ingestions occur during the takeoff and landing phases so that theprobabilities for takeoff and climb and the approach and landing phases arerelatively large. Dual engine and multiple bird ingestions are relativelyrare (which is reflected in the smaller probabilities for these events).

The inlet area effect on aircraft ingestion probabilities is shown inTable 7.2 which separates the probabilities by location and engine. With theexception of single engine multiple bird ingestion events in the UnitedStates, the probabilities for the CFM International CFM56 are always largerthan the corresponding probabilities for the Pratt and Whitney JT8D. Thelarger probabilities for the CFM56 are expected since the inlet area of theCFM56 is nearly twice the inlet area of the JT8D.

The probability of an ingestion that causes moderate or severe enginedamage (POId) is calculated with respect to engine operations, not aircraftoperations. Moderate or severe engine damage occurred in 180 (49 domestic,130 foreign, I unknown) of the 1,468 engine ingestion events reported in thedata collection period. The respective worldwide, domestic, and foreign POIdvalues for the B737 fleet are 1.01 x 10-5, 0.._ x 10-5, and 1.59 x 10-5. Therespective worldwide, domestic, and foreign 95 percent confidence bounds onthe POId values are 1.14 x 10-5, 0.64 x 10-5, and 1.84 x 10-5.

The effect of bird weight on the probabilities is estimated in Tables7.3 and 7.4. The entries in Tables 7.3 and 7.4 were calculated by multiplyingthe overall probability for each location/engine combination by the relativefrequency of each bird weight range. The relative frequencies for bird weightranges were derived from the weights of positively identified birds and arebased on the number of events that involved birds in each weight range, notthe total number of birds ingested. The validity of this calculation dependson the randomness of bird identifications, as discussed in Section 3. Table7.3 provides a breakdown of the probability of ingestion (POI) by location andengine while Table 7.4 combines the two engine types. The calculations inTables 7.3 and 7.4 were made on both an aircraft operation basis 'Tables 7.3Aand 7.4A) and an engine operation basis (Tables 7.3B and 7.4B). Tables 7.4A

and 7.4B show that the worldwide probability of ingestin• one or more birds asa function of bird weight is 0.210 x 10-5 and 0.102 x 10-f respectively at the52-to 56-ounce weight range for the B737 aircraft fleet. Above this weightrange the probability of ingestion decreases.

SECTION 8DATA QUALITY

The interpretations derived from any large set of data are only as goodas the data. The use of poor data can lead to invalid and misleadingconclusions. The conclusions reached in this report should be interpreted inthe context of the sources of the data and the quality of the data. Thefollowing paragraphs discuss the sources of data for the 3 years and thequality of the data as measured by the consistency of the data collected ineach of the 3 years and by the consistency of the ICAO data with the datacollected by the FAA.

8.1 DATA SOURCES.

The main body of data was collected by the manufacturers of the twoengines used on B737 aircraft under separate contracts with the FAA. The FAAalso collected data from the FAA Voluntary Bird Strike/Incident Report (FAAForm 5200-7) and from reports received from FAA field inspectors (see FAAAction Notice A8300.39). A second source of data used in this report is anongoing effort by the ICAO to collect aviation bird strike data. Asignificant number of B737 bird ingestion events were recorded by the ICAOthat were not collected through FAA sources. The additional events wereincluded with the FAA data base for the preparation of this second report.

The engine manufacturers, FAA, and ICAO conducted a census rather than asurvey, i.e., the goal of both studies was to collect information on everyB737 bird ingestion event in the 3-year period. A complete census is nearlyimpossible to achieve under any circumstances; therefore, estimates involvingthe total number of ingestions, such as ingestion rates, should be viewed aslower bounds.

8.2 INTERNAL CONSISTENCY.

The data collected over the third year of the program appear to beconsistent with the data collected in the first 2 years. Most of thetables, graphs and statistical tests presented in this report for the 3-yearperiod are very similar to the corresponding data presented in earlier reports[1,2] for the data collected in the first 2 years. This section providesstatistical verification of the similarities and discusses some of thedifferences.

The first feature for comparing the 3 years is the total number ofaircraft ingestion events collected in each year. Section 4 provided evidencethat aircraft ingestion events occur according to a Poisson process so thatthe proportion of events that were recorded in each year should be equal totLz pro~portion of operations conducted in that year.

The same formulas used in Section 4 can be used here except that thearea factor is no longer required since comparisons are made between years forthe same engine. The formula for the expected proportion of events in year ibecomes:

Pi - Oi / (01 + 02 + 03) (8.1)

87

Page 101: FAA Technical Center o ofthe Boeing 737 747 DO/FACT9/32 Engine Bird Ingestion FAA Technical Center Atlantic City International Airport o N.J. 08405 Experience ofthe Boeing 737 Ail

where Oi (i=1,3) represents the number of operations for the specific engineand geographic location for year i.

The Chi-squared goodness-of-fit test is used instead of a Z test sincethere are more than two years. The Chi-squared test statistic provides ameasure of the closeness of the observed number of events in each year to thenumber that would be expected if the collection rates were the same in eachyear. The expected number of events in year i are given by:

Ei - Pi * N (8.2)

where N is the total number of events for the 3 years. The test statisticis then given by:

3 (X -Ei)2 (8.3)x2 (8.3i-i

where Xi is the observed number of events in year i.

The data for performing the test are presented in Table 8.1 and Table8.2. The number of events and number of operations for each year are brokendown by engine type and geographic location in Table 8.1. The calculated X2

values for the test are given in Table 8.2 for each engine and locationcombination. The Chi-squared test detects any type of change among the 3years and the critical value for a five percent level of significance for aChi-square with two degrees of freedom is 5.99. The only significant changeis in the collection rate for the foreign JT8D data.

The large value of the test statistic for foreign JT8D ingestion ratesis caused by a large number of ingestion events reported in the second year.

The change in collection rates for the JT8D could affect the test forsize effect that was described in Section 4. In the first year report [1]both area and diameter provided adequate adjustments for the differences iningestion rates between the two engines. In the 2-year report [2], areaprovided an adequate adjustment but diameter did not; while in the 3-yearreport diameter provided an adequate adjustment but area did not. The highsecond year collection rate would have an impact on the ingestion rateanalysis so that investigations into the nature of engine size effects shouldbe considered inconclusive.

Another check on the consistency of the data collection is to comparethe birds that were identified in the 3 years. There were too manydifferent species and locations of ingestions to allow comparisons of thesefeatures; however, if the species identifications are reduced to bird weightsthe cumulative weight distributions for the 3 years can be compared.

Table 8.3 provides a table of the cumulative weight distributions foreach of the 3 years for birds ingested in the United States and for birdsingested in foreign c-ourrrles. The data in Table 8.3 are plotted in Figures8.1 and 8.2 to provide visual comparisons of the three yearly bird weightdistributions for United States and foreign ingested birds. The distributionsfor the United States ingestions are moderately close, and the distributionsfor the foreign ingestions are very close.

A statistical measure of the closeness of the cumulative distributionsplotted in Figures 8.1 and 8.2 is provided by a multi-sample extension of theKolmogorov-Smirnov D test, described by Kiefer [14]. The D statistic is themaximum vertical distance between two observed cumulative distributionfunctions while the T statistic described by Kiefer is the maximum verticalscatter among the three observed cumulative distribution functions. Theformula for the T statistic is:

3max x n [S (x) ( (8.4)

where maxx indicates the maximum over x, nj is the sample size in year J,S (x) is the observed cumulative distribution function in year j and S(x) isthe observed cumulative distribution function for all 3 years combined.

The Kiefer goodness-of-fit test shows very good consistency between the3 years for the ingested bird weight distribution. The T statistic forthe U. S. bird ingestions is 0.82 and for the foreign bird ingestions is 0.63which are the twenty-seventh and twelfth percentiles of the null distributionof T. Large values of T indicate differences between the three distributionsand the observed values given above are in the lower half of the likely rangeof T. There is no statistical evidence that the bird weight distributionshave changed over the 3-year period.

The ICAO data seem to be consistent with the data collected by the FAA.The only substantial change from including the ICAO data is an increase in theestimated ingestion rates and probabilities. This is the result of anadditional 392 aircraft ingestion events that were reported by the ICAO. Mostof the additional events occurred during foreign operations.

If the ICAO data were inconsistent with the FAA data, some of thestatistical tosts would hnve shown different conclusions with the combined setof data. None of the concluslonz; in the report changed when the ICAO datawere combined with the FAA data. Specific values of test statistics aredifferent; however, the conclusions remained the same. The ICAO data seem tosupport the patterns in B737 bird ingestion events that are evident in the FAAdata.

The overall quality of the data used in the report seems to be adequate.There is reasonable consistency from year to year with a slightly highercollection rate in the second year. The two sources of data show goodcompatibility so that there should be no bias due to different collectionprocedures. The data used in this report should provide valuable informationabout the bird ingestion hazard.

SECTION 9CONCLUSIONS

This section summarizes conclusions based on the 3 years of data for theB737 aircraft.

Bird Descriptions

Gulls, doves, and lapwings are most often ingested.

There is a better species identification rate when the engine isdamaged.

The weight of a bird most likely to be ingested outside the UniteoStates i,; significantly heavier than one most likely to ingestedwithin the United States.

Ingestion Rates

Bird ingestion events are seasonal with the highest rates in thesummer and the lowest in the winter.

Bird ingestion events are much more likely to occur duringdaylight than at night.

Bird ingestion events can be modeled as a Poisson process.

Bird ingestion rates are proportional to the inlet size of theengine.

Airport Experiences

The foreign bird ingestion rate is significantly higher thanthe United States ingestion rate.

Effect of Flight

The probability that a crew action is required increases with theseverity of engine damage.

The effects of flight that occur most often are air turnbacksand aborted takeoffs.

The probability of experi.ncing an involuntary in-flight engineshutdown, given a bird ingestion has occurred, Is approximatelyone-half of one percent.

Engtine Damare

Some types of engine damage are correlated with other types ofdamage.

The majority of engine bird ingestion events result in eitherminor or no engine damage.

94

Page 108: FAA Technical Center o ofthe Boeing 737 747 DO/FACT9/32 Engine Bird Ingestion FAA Technical Center Atlantic City International Airport o N.J. 08405 Experience ofthe Boeing 737 Ail

The probability of any damage increases with the weight of thebird ingested.

The probability of engine damage, given a bird ingestion hasoccurred, is greater when the ingestion occurs during the takeoffand climb phases of flight than those that occur during approachand landing.

The probability of engine damage, given a bird ingestion hasoccurred, is greater when the aircraft airspeed is greater thanor equal to 140 knots than those that occur at less than 140knots.

Engine failure appears more likely to occur when multiple birdsare ingested.

The mean or average weight of the birds that caused enginefailures was significantly heavier than the mean weight forall bird ingestion events.

Engine failure is not necessarily associated exclusively withsevere engine damage.

Engine failure a-pears more likely to occur during the takeoffphase of flight.

Engine failure can be caused by a bird ingestion in any birdweight range.

The majority of engine failures are caused by transverse fanbla6- fractures.

The probability of experiencing an engine failure, given a birdix r-stion has occurred, is approximately 3 percent.

Probabilities of Ingestion

Bird ingestions are more likely during the takeoff and landingphases of an aircraft operation.

The worldwide probability of a bird ingestion as a function ofbird weight for the B737 fleet remains relatively high up to56 ounces.

Data Quality

The overall quality of the bird ingestion data collected by theengine manufacturers for the FAA is adequate for a meaningfulstatistical analysis.

This appendix presents the contents of the Boeing 737 bird ingestion data basemaintained by the FAA. The appendix presents actual data extracted from theFAA data base which contains bird ingestion data supplied by the enginemanufacturers, FAA, and ICAO. The data base contents are described below:COLUMN DESCRIPTION OF COLUMN CONTENTS

EDATE Date (mm/dd/yyyy) of ingestion event.

EVT# FAA bird ingestion event sequence number reflecting order in whichevents were entered into the FAA bird ingestion data base.

ENG POS Engine position of engine ingesting bird. Since each engineingestion event has a unique record in the data base, duplicateevent numbers indicate multiple engine ingestion events. Thiscolumn provides record uniqueness in such cases.

I - left engine of 737 airplane2 - right engine of 737 airplane

MFG-NO. Manufacturer's event number. The prefix values 87, 88, and 89imply ICAO events reported in years 1987, 1988, and 1989respectively. The value 0 implies events reported from FAAsources.

ETIME Local time of bird ingestion.

SIGNEVT Significant event factors.AIRWRTHY - engine related airworthiness effectsINV POS LOSS - involuntary power lossMULT P IS - multiple birds in one engineMULT Eh multiple engine ingestion (I bird in each engine)MULT ENG JIRDS - multiple engine ingestion and one or bothengines sustained multiple bird ingestionTRVS FRAC - transverse fan blade fractureOTHER - other significant factor, may be reported in REMARKSNONE - no significant factor noted

DMGCODE Letter codes summarizing engine damage resulting from the birdingestion. This column does not exist in the actual FAA database, but was developed by the contractor to compress 17 YES/NOdamage fields into a single column. A letter code appears fordamage columns whose values are YES. In the explanation of damagecodes below, a number in parentheses indicates the damage severitycode which is further explained in the SEVERITY column. The database column name is given in the explanation of the damage code.

A(4) - ENGDAM; engine damaged due to bird ingestionB(3) - LEAD EDG; leading edge distortion/curl, minor fan bladesC(3) - BEN/DEN; one to three fan blades bent or dentedD(2) - BE/DE>3; more than three fan blades bent or dentedE(3) - TORN<1O; one to ten fan blades tornF(2) - TORN>1O; more than ten fan blades tornG(2) - BROKEN; broken fan blade(s), leading edge and/or tip

pieces missing; other blades also dentedH(3) - SHINGLED; shingled (twisted) fan blades1(1) - TRVSFRAC; transverse fracture - a fan blade broken

chordwise (across) and the piece liberated (includessecondary hard object damage)

J(2) - SPINNER; dented, broken, or cracked spinner (includesspinner cap)

K(1) - CORE; bent/broken compressor blades/vanes, blade/vaneclash, blocked/disrupted airflow in low, intermediate,and high pressure compressors

L(3) - NACELLE; dents and/or punctures to the engine enclosure(includes cowl)

M(1) - FLANGE; flange separationsN(2) - RELEASED; released (walked) fan blades (blade retention

mechanism broken)O(M) - TURBINE; turbine damageP - OTHER; any damage not previously listedQ - UNKNOWN;

SEVERITY Numeric code indicating the severity of engine damage resultingfrom the bird ingestion. This column was developed by thecontractor after analyzing reported damage in the data base. Thelower the severity code, the more severe the damage. The severityrating of a flight is determined as the lowest severity ratingattained by any of the damage categories. Corresponding severityratings for each damage category were presented in the DMG0CODEdiscussion above.

1 - most severe damage (damage is known)2 - moderately severe damage (damage is known)3 - least severe damage (damage is known)4 - damage indicated, but not specified9 - no damage reported

APPENDIX CSTATISTICAL HYPOTHESIS TESTING

Statistical analyses are based on an underlying probabilistic model ofthe processes that give rise to the data. For example, to provide the basis

for comparing the weights of ingested birds in the United States and overseasit is necessary to hypothesize an underlying random distribution of birdweights. Statistical analyses are somewhat more sophisticated than

descriptive data analyses and more care is required to ensure that the methodsare appropriate for the data.

Statistical analysis is basically formalized inductive reasoning.Hypotheses about bird ingestion hazards are evaluated for consistency with thedata that have been collected. Statistical analysis provides the rules forquantifying the level of consistency forming the basis for objective unbiaseddecisions. The process is known formally as statistical hypothesis testingand a brief outline of the procedure is presented here.

The basis of a statistical hypothesis test is the hypothesis; which is aformal statement about a relationship in the data. In comparing the weightdistributions of United States ingestions versus foreign ingestions, onehypothesis is that there is no difference in the sizes of the birds ingestedhere versus those ingested overseas. If the data are found to be consistentwith the hypothesis it is accepted; otherwise the hypothesis is rejected.

The rules for deciding whether to accept or reject the hypothesis arebased on the possible errors that could be made. A type I error refers to thesituation in which the hypothesis is true; however we reject the hypothesis.Alternatively when we accept the hypothesis when it is not true we commit atype II error.

The goal of the statistician is to minimize the likelihood of both typesof errors. Unfortunately the likelihood of a type I error is reciprocallylinked to the likelihood of a type II error so that lowering the likelihood ofa type I error will increase the likelihood of a type II error. Since onlyone error can be fully controlled it has become standard practice to controlthe likelihood of a Type I error; which is called the significance level ofthe test. The test hypothesis is chosen so that it should be accepted unlessthere is strong evidence that it is not true and the test is constructed to

minimize the likelihood of a type II error for the given significance levelover a broad range of alternatives.

The mechanics of conducting a statistical hypothesis test areimplemented by calculating a test statistic. The test statistic is a functionof the data that is related to the test hypothesis. It is usually constructedso that small values are consistent with the null hypothesis and large valuesare consistent with the alternative hypothesis. The cutoff for accepting orrejecting the null hypothesis is called the critical value and is a functionof the desired significance level.

Another aspect in evaluating the efficiency of a statistical test is itsability to detect when the test hypothesis is false. This ability is calledthe power of the test and is defined to be the probability of rejecting the

test hypothesis when it is false. Generally there are many alternatives to

the test hypothesis so that the power of the test is a function of thespecific alternate hypothesis.

A variation on the statistical hypothesis test is the calculation of aconfidence interval for a parameter such as the overall probability ofingestion (POI). Since there is no specific hypothesis about the POI, aconfidence interval is used to describe the range of probabilities that areconsistent with the data. The confidence level associated with a confidenceinterval corresponds to one minus the significance level of a hypothesis testand is a measure of the likelihood that the true value of the parameter (inthis case the POI) is contained in the interval.
