Footnote. Paragraph 57 – in the wording of the order of the Minister of Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated 03.06.2024 № 575 (shall enter into force upon expiry of ten calendar days after the day of its first official publication).58. During the ornithological examination, in cases of detection of nesting colonies of birds in the area of the airfield (heliport), the following information shall be recorded:
1) location of nests (on the ground, in grass, in warehouses, trees, in reeds);
2) bird feeding places (near a reservoir, on a fur farm, garbage dump, agricultural land);

Footnote. Paragraph 58 – in the wording of the order of the Minister of Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated 03.06.2024 № 575 (shall enter into force upon expiry of ten calendar days after the day of its first official publication).59. A partial view of the species composition of birds, living on the reservoir must be obtained by collecting and further identifying of feathers that are washed ashore by the wind, as well as by the traces of birds left in the tidal band.
60. The results of the survey and observations of birds are compared and supplemented (if possible) with information from the nearest hunting grounds (reserves), as well as from other sources, and are plotted on the map of ornithological situation, which is placed in the class of preflight instructions.
61. The methodology of ornithological survey of the aerodrome area (heliport) in different periods of annual bird activity has certain features that must be taken into account when planning and conducting these activities.
Footnote. Paragraph 61 – in the wording of the order of the Minister of Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated 03.06.2024 № 575 (shall enter into force upon expiry of ten calendar days after the day of its first official publication).62. In particular, in the spring period, in addition to taking into account local birds, routes, paths, altitudes and flights terms of migrating birds, places of their rest and feeding shall be determined.

Footnote. Paragraph 64 – in the wording of the order of the Minister of Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated 03.06.2024 № 575 (shall enter into force upon expiry of ten calendar days after the day of its first official publication).Paragraph 5. Frightening birds away from aerodromes
65. To scare away birds at the airport, individuals from the cordon team, personnel of communications and radio support are involved using a large number of various means: bioacoustics installations, guns, rocket launchers, gas guns, rattles, mirror balls, nets.
The selection and use of the most appropriate means of scaring birds shall be carried out at each airfield (heliport), based on the local features of the ornithological situation. This shall take into account the following:
1) with the continuous or too frequent use of any repellent, its effectiveness decreases over time due to the addiction of birds to it;
2) when several methods of deterrence are used simultaneously (for example, playing distress cries and shooting from rocket launchers and guns, installing deterrent objects and shooting from rocket launchers) or alternating them, the effectiveness of deterrence increases;
3) birds shall be most easily scared off during migration (in spring and autumn), during these periods many birds have a weak attachment to the territory;
4) local birds (especially in the summer) shall be less susceptible to the effects of deterrents, but in spring and autumn they need to be scared away from the airfield (heliport), since they are often the cause of the accumulation of migrating birds;
5) shooting from rocket launchers and bioacoustics scaring sometimes shall lead to the fact that the birds rise into the air and, before flying away, circle for some time (1-2 minutes) over the scaring site, creating an even greater danger to aircraft flights. In this regard, these methods of repelling should be used 5-10 minutes before takeoff (landing) of the aircraft, or temporarily do not repel flocks of birds located further 150 m from the runway.
Footnote. Paragraph 65 – in the wording of the order of the Minister of Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated 03.06.2024 № 575 (shall enter into force upon expiry of ten calendar days after the day of its first official publication).66. Bioacoustics repulsion (playback of bird alarm calls through loudspeakers) shall be carried out by communication and radio support personnel. At the same time, this unit ensures the safety and correct operation of the bioacoustics installation, conducting routine maintenance on them in a timely manner.
Footnote. Paragraph 66 – in the wording of the order of the Minister of Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated 03.06.2024 № 575 (shall enter into force upon expiry of ten calendar days after the day of its first official publication).67. Four types of bioacoustics installations shall, be used at airfields and heliports: stationary (loudspeakers are installed on the airfield or on the LRMS), mobile (all equipment is installed on a passenger car), semi-mobile (equipment is installed on a special trolley, the equipment is turned on and off by radio) and portable.
Footnote. Paragraph 67 – in the wording of the order of the Minister of Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated 03.06.2024 № 575 (shall enter into force upon expiry of ten calendar days after the day of its first official publication).68. High efficiency of bioacoustic frightening birds away is achieved when the following basic conditions are met:
1) recording of a bird's cry on a magnetic tape is made qualitatively (in stationary conditions, with the help of special equipment);
2) the bioacoustic installation can reproduce recorded birds calls without distortion;
3) recording of the cry of exactly the type of birds that are scared away is broadcasted;
4) duration and frequency of the broadcast of the cry correspond to the norms for this type of birds and ornithological situation.
69. For frightening away feeding and resting birds, the broadcast of frightening signals should be performed 2-3 times in a row.
70. Very often, birds form mixed flocks of different species. In this case, it is recommended to use alarm signals of this type of birds, which is larger in size and more numerous in the flock.
71. Weather conditions must be taken into account when using bioacoustic means of frightening. For example, strong headwind and crosswind and rain significantly reduce the range of the signal.
72. In the event of a decrease in the effectiveness of bioacoustics repulsion, replace the signals with a demonstration of real danger (that is, shots from rocket launchers, hunting rifles) in compliance with fire safety measures and strict compliance with safety requirements when using weapons.
Footnote. Paragraph 72 – in the wording of the order of the Minister of Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated 03.06.2024 № 575 (shall enter into force upon expiry of ten calendar days after the day of its first official publication).73. Birds of certain species (for example, pigeons) do not actually emit alarm calls and therefore bioacoustic frightening them is associated with certain difficulties.
74. Frightening birds away from the aerodrome with shots from rocket launchers is carried out by the personnel of the cordon team as directed by the FM. Frightening is performed by firing shots in the direction of birds so that the rocket flies close to them. In the summer, this method is used if there is no danger of burning dry grass.
75. Frightening birds with special scarecrows, in which the gas automatically explodes with a strong sound, is performed in rare cases due to low efficiency of this method. This method of frightening is used primarily for those birds that are hunted (ducks, geese, sandpipers, and others), while scarecrows are installed near permanent places of accumulation of birds. For more operative use, it is recommended to install the guns in a trailer truck. In operation of gas guns it is required to comply with fire safety measures.
76. Scaring birds from the airfield (heliport) using various objects (cracks, flags, carcasses of dead birds, etc.) is carried out in places of constant accumulation of birds (in cases where the cause of the accumulation of birds cannot be eliminated). The installation of these items shall be carried out by officials (military personnel, civilian personnel) of the airfield unit of the military unit, while they shall be guided by the recommendations of ornithologists from local biological institutions.
Footnote. Paragraph 76 – in the wording of the order of the Minister of Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated 03.06.2024 № 575 (shall enter into force upon expiry of ten calendar days after the day of its first official publication).Paragraph 6. Actions of crews during flights in difficult ornithological situation
77. When preparing for a flight, the commander of the aircraft takes into account information about ornithological situation.
Takeoff and landing, in difficult ornithological situation, must be performed with the lights on in the landing position.
78. When flying along the route, if crowds of birds are detected, the crew takes measures on prevention a collision with them by bypassing them on the left, right or above them. If it is impossible to bypass the zone with a difficult ornithological situation, the commander of the aircraft reports this to the MF (flight control body), at his command to stop the task and acts according to his instructions.
79. When the aircraft is on the landing heading, after receiving information about the difficult ornithological situation from the flight control group, at the airfield (heliport) or at visual detection of birds, the crew:
1) strengthens prudence;
2) include landing lights, if they have not been switched on before;
3) if necessary, follow the second round with a report of the Republic of Poland.
Footnote. Paragraph 79 – in the wording of the order of the Minister of Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated 03.06.2024 № 575 (shall enter into force upon expiry of ten calendar days after the day of its first official publication).80. Before making a decision on take-off, the aircraft commander take into account the ornithological situation in the area of the airfield (heliport) and along the flight route.
At the executive start, after receiving information from the flight management group about the complication of the ornithological situation, the aircraft commander evaluates the possibility of taking off. Take-off under these conditions shall be performed with actuated lights.
Footnote. Paragraph 80 – in the wording of the order of the Minister of Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated 03.06.2024 № 575 (shall enter into force upon expiry of ten calendar days after the day of its first official publication).81. When flying along the route, if crowds of birds are detected, the crew bypasses or flies over them. It is recommended to be especially careful when meeting with large birds of prey in the air that may be aggressive towards the aircraft. In this case, it is necessary to take actions to prevent approach with them.
82. If it is impossible to bypass the zone of difficult ornithological situation, the commander is recommended to return the aircraft to the point of departure or to land at the nearest alternate aerodrome.
83. When flying at low altitudes, it is recommended to fly over bird markets and places of possible accumulation of birds on the ground and water at a safe aititude, which guarantees against collisions with birds. Aircraft crews who notice crowds of birds, posing danger for flights during the flight, immediately transmit information about them to the MF.

Note:
1. In case when the observation belongs to a certain period (GG), the digit 0 is put in place of h. If the observation period is 9 days or more, 2 time groups are used for encoding (the number and time of the beginning and end of observations), and the digit 9 is put in place of h in both groups.
2. When encoding different birds species, the group 55555 is placed before the characteristics of the second and subsequent species (P1A1 Z1B1B1). If all birds species have the same characteristics, encoded in groups with distinctive digits 1, 22, 33, these groups are used only once after listing the birds species.
3. The size of the summed flock (R1) is determined by multiplying the number of flocks by the number of birds in them during the observation period.
4. If the direction of flight of birds (flocks) is not set, 00 is placed in place of d1d1, and 99 is set for flights of birds in different directions.
5. If the flight of birds is observed not in the layer, but at a certain altitude, the same altitude is indicated in the groups 22h1h1h1 and ZZH1H1H1.
Examples:
1) in the area of point 31417 in the period from 8 o'clock on the 19th to 8 o'clock on the 20th, there was a round-the-clock migration of ducks, geese and cranes. During the day, up to 5 flocks of 50-100 birds flew at altitudes from 2000 to 3000 m to the North-West. In the daytime, there were disordered flights of local corvids up to four flocks of 15 — 20 birds at altitudes up to 300 m.

Features of identification of flashes from birds on radar screens
The task of recognizing flashes from flocks of birds on radar indicator screens is quite complicated one and requires certain skills. The main difficulty lies in the fact that the flashes from birds are hardly noticeable and extremely diverse in their appearance, which makes it difficult to develop a single method of recognizing them, as well as specify any feature, allowing to distinguish them from other flashes with complete confidence.
At the same time, there are a number of features inherent in flashes from birds, by totality of which it can be quite reliably to identify them.
These include the size, brightness, shape, severity of borders, speed and direction of movement, image constancy, location on the radar screen.
Flashes from birds may differ slightly in size and brightness, since these signs depend on the number and size of birds, their distance from the radar, relative placement of birds in the flock, position of the bird's body relative to the radar antenna, and other factors.
The size of flashes from dense flocks of birds on the landing radar screen in most cases corresponds to the size of flashes from small aircrafts, and from single birds it often has the size of a dot.
Brightness of flashes from birds on radar screens is significantly less than the brightness of the echo-signals from the aircraft and is constantly changing, and sometimes these flashes resemble interference.
The shape of the echo-signal from birds most often appears on screens as a rounded spot or dot. In cases when the detected large flock of birds (thousands of individuals) is widely stretched along the front, the flash from it can be a line or an arc.
The borders of flashes from birds do not have such sharp outlines as the marks from the aircraft and ground objects, and at the same time are not as blurred as the marks from clouds.
The speed of movement of flashes from birds is relatively small about 20-50 km / h, so it is quite difficult to visually notice the shift of flashes from birds on the screen.
During the flight in direction of the wind at high altitudes, the flight speed of birds can reach 120-150 km/h, while it is relatively easy to notice the shift of flashes, which only allows to distinguish them from the stationary echo signals formed by ground objects.
At the same time, when identifying flashes only by the speed of their movement, it is necessary to take into account the speed and direction of the wind at different altitudes, which is difficult to implement in operational work. The difference in speed makes it easy to distinguish flashes from birds from marks from the aircraft, which move much faster on the radar screen.
Direction of movement of flashes allows to distinguish the birds flashes from the echo-signals generated by balloons, pilot balloons, radiosonds, clouds that move only with the flow. Thus, a low-speed target that moves at an angle to the wind direction is almost always a flock of birds.
Unlike other targets, echo-signals of flashes from birds can dramatically change their brightness, size, shape, and direction of shift, and sometimes disappear. This is due to the fact that birds often change the speed, altitude, direction of flight and adjust in the air.
Flashes from birds are often located on the radar indicator screen in groups, sometimes consisting, especially in the spring and autumn, of dozens or even hundreds of individual marks.
The frequency and time of appearing of flashes from birds on the radar screen largely due to seasonal peculiarities of birds migration, as a result of which in the summer and winter periods flashes from birds are mostly found in the daytime (very often in the winter in the dark twilight), but in the spring and autumn around the clock and at night they are sometimes even more often than during the day.
Single flashes are observed on the radar indicator screen in the summer and winter, and in the spring and autumn there are multiple flashes from birds, which is associated with seasonal migrations. Knowing the seasonal characteristics of bird migrations in this area greatly facilitates to identification flashes from them.

Distinctive features of echo-signals from birds
Identification of flashes from birds on radar indicator screens is relatively difficult and requires a certain skill from the duty calculations of all regular aerodrome radar facilities. The main difficulty is that these flashes are relatively inconspicuous and extremely diverse in appearance. In this regard, it is difficult to give a single and accurate description of flashes from birds, as well as to specify any of their characteristics, allowing to distinguish them with complete confidence from other flashes.
However, all flashes from birds are characterized by a number of features, by the totality of which it can be quite reliably to identify these flashes.
The main distinguishing features of flashes from birds include:
size;
brightness;
shape;
severity of the borders;
travel speed;
direction of travel;
constancy of the image;
location on the radar indicator screen.
Size of flashes.
Flashes from dense flocks of birds on the screen of the landing radar indicator in most cases correspond in size to flashes from small aircraft, and from single birds often have the size of a dot.
Brightness of flashes.
the brightness of flashes from birds is significantly less than the brightness of echo-signals from the aircraft on the screens of landing radars.
Flashes from birds may differ slightly in size and brightness, since these signs depend on the number and size of birds, their distance from the radar, relative placement of birds in the flock, position of the bird's body relative to the radar antenna, and other factors.
Form of flashes.
Echo- signals from birds most often appear on the screens in the form of circular spot or dot.
In rare cases, when a large flock of birds (thousands of individuals) is found widely stretched along the front, the flash from it can be a line or an arc.
Intensity of flashes borders.
Flashes from birds do not have such sharp outlines as marks from the aircraft and ground objects, and at the same time are not as blurred as marks from clouds.
Speed of movement of flashes.
Most birds fly at a speed of about 20-50 km/h, so it is quite difficult to visually notice the offset of flashes from birds on the screen. During the flight in the wind at high altitudes, the flight speed of birds reaches 120 km/h and even 150 km/h. In this case, it is relatively easy to notice the shift of the flashes from birds, which allows to distinguish them from stationary echo-signals formed by ground objects, as well as balloons, pilot balloons, radiosondes, clouds and other air formations moving at wind speed.
However, when identifying flashes only by the speed of their movement, it is necessary to take into account the speed and direction of the wind at different altitudes, which is difficult to implement in operational work. The difference in speed makes it easy to distinguish flashes from birds only from aircraft and helicopter markings moving much faster on the radar screen.
Direction of movement of the flashes.
Birds fly in all possible directions, which makes it possible to distinguish the birds flashes from echo-signals of balloons, pilot balloons, radiosondes, clouds moving only in the wind. A low-speed target that goes at an angle to the wind direction is almost always birds.
Constancy of the image flashes.
Unlike other markers, birds echo-signals can dramatically change their brightness, size, shape, direction of shift, and sometimes disappear. This is due to the fact that birds often change the speed, altitude and direction of flight, rearrange themselves in the air, and fly in more or less dense groups.
Location of flashes.
Birds echo-signals are often located on the radar indicator screen in groups, sometimes consisting (especially in the spring and autumn) of dozens or even hundreds of individual markers.
Frequency and time of appearance of birds flashes on the radar indicator screen is largely due to the seasonal characteristics of birds migrations. Therefore, in the summer and winter, birds flashes are mainly found in the daytime (in the winter, very often in the dark twilight), and in the spring and autumn around the clock, and at night they are sometimes observed more often than during the day. In the summer and winter, the radar indicator screen usually shows single flashes from birds, and in the spring and autumn, often dozens of flashes. Knowledge of seasonal characteristics of birds flights in this area makes it much easier to identify flashes from birds.
