Morbos, some factual corrections:
1. The bird strike rate is actually slightly higher at night.
2. High altitude events are not that rare either.
Those who choose to fly above 250 knots below 10,000 ft. are playing with fire.
Take a,long and hard look at the physics and the certification standards for aircraft and engines and you will most likely change your operating speeds.
Despite what many think bird behaviour can be managed to yield significant reduction in bird strike risks. Success requires an integrated apporach to the problem.
Unfortunately, wildlife management regulations are poor or non-existent and not science driven and performance based. The evolution in regulations is slow. Canada has enacted decent regulations, but it still requires that all the stakeholders buy in to make a difference.
