What describes Moderate BWC?

• A. Birds Near Runway; Increased Strike Potential
• B. Birds On Or Above Active Runway; High Strike Potential
• C. Birds Away From Runway; No Risk
• D. Birds In Workshop; Pest Risk

Answer: (A)

Moderate BWC comes from birds that are in the vicinity of the runway and could enter the flight path, creating an elevated chance of a bird strike during takeoff or landing. This situation—birds near the runway with an increased strike potential—fits the moderate risk level because the threat is real but not immediately on or above the active runway. If birds were actually on or over the runway, the strike potential would be high, representing a higher category. If they're away from the runway, the risk is essentially none, and birds in a workshop aren’t a factor for flight operations.
