Abstract
This contribution compares all known collisions of the Czech Air Force’s aircraft with birds, from 2000 to 2004. In the course of this period we have assayed 122 cases altogether. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been possible to obtain all needed data due to whether objective or subjective reasons. We have got information: * on the collision time in 115 cases (94% of all cases), * on the velocity of aircraft by the collision in 98 cases (80% of all cases), * on the altitude of aircraft by the collision in 105 cases (86% of all cases), * on location of the collision in 99 cases (81% of all cases), * on the flight phase by the collision in 101 cases (83 of all cases), * on the bird species /identification/ in 81ases (66% of all cases).
