Chapter 7
AVIATION SAFETY
7.1. Program Management. Each unit conducting or supporting flight operations must have an
aviation safety program. The COS or senior installation safety representative will ensure an
active safety presence at the installation through the plans, programs and training responsibilities
outlined below.
7.1.1. The host safety office is responsible for the base aviation safety program.
7.1.2. Tenant units coordinate their flight safety programs with the host to avoid duplication.
If the host does not have a FSO authorization, the largest tenant with an authorization
manages the base flight safety program. If neither the host nor the tenant has a FSO
authorization, flight safety responsibilities revert to the host COS.
7.2. Plans. The FSO/FSM/ FSNCO will help develop and review appropriate emergency
response plans and coordinate on any other installation plans involving flight safety or aircraft
emergencies. These plans should include but are not limited to:
7.2.1. Aircraft Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP). The COS is
responsible for ensuring that units develop an aviation specific portion of the CEMP. The
COS ensures the plan defines roles, responsibilities and notification requirements for
leadership and all involved agencies. The CEMP should include elements of or a reference to
existing plans concerning the disaster response required by AFI 10-2501, Air Force
Emergency Management (EM) Program Planning and Operations.
7.2.2. Bird/Wildlife Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH) Plan. The host flight safety office will
establish the BASH plan, to include, defining the nature and extent of wildlife hazards and
implementation of the plan. Plan implementation may require environmental controls and
changes to bird/wildlife dispersal/removal techniques and operational procedures.
Cooperative agreements for managing fish and wildlife resources require coordination with
state and Federal conservation agencies prior to implementation. IAW AFI 32-7064,
paragraph 14.1, the Integrated Natural Resource Management Plan must support the
installation’s BASH plan. The BASH plan must identify local procedures and permits for the
proper collection, handling and disposal of wildlife carcasses and biological material
discovered on the airfield and aircraft.
7.3. Programs. The COS will ensure the following programs are established, maintained and
reviewed at least annually.
7.3.1. BASH Program. Responsibilities for establishing and administering the Air Force
BASH Program:
7.3.1.1. HQ AFSC/SEFW will:
7.3.1.1.1. Analyze wildlife strike data to provide baseline information to Air Force
agencies.
7.3.1.1.2. Approve the exchange and distribution of Air Force wildlife strike data to
US Government and foreign agencies.
