ENR 5.6 BIRD MIGRATION AND AREAS WITH SENSITIVE FAUNA

1. BIRD MIGRATION

Muscat/Muscat International and Salalah: Large solitary predatory birds (eagles, vultures etc.) present a hazard to air navigation at all times on the coastal plain in the vicinity of these airports. Pilots are advised to exercise extreme caution when approaching or departing, particularly below ALT 3000 FT. ATC will endeavor to keep pilots advised of bird concentrations, but single birds circling at any height are very difficult to observe from ATC. Pilot reports of bird concentrations are requested. These reports are very useful in planning a programme to attempt a reduction of bird strike hazards.

2. AREAS OF SENSITIVE FAUNA

Areas of sensitive fauna are listed in ENR 5.1 as Prohibited areas.
