Guppy stated:
The 10-9 chart at Venice states "Due to bird concentration, pilots are requested to activate their meteo radar before takeoff and landing."
What the airport authority requests, however, really has no bearing on whether or not airborne weather radar actually repels birds. It does not.
Keeping it on for weather avoidance is entirely irrelevant to the subject.
- So It's not REALLY about bird concentration..as stated.on the chart......Please do tell..what is REALLY going on in Venice...
