Strikes between wildlife and aircraft are a common occurrence, posing many risks to aviators,aircraft, and passengers, in addition to harming wildlife. Previous studies have shown trends between wildlife collisions and bird migration, ways to mitigate wildlife strikes, costs due to strikes, and analyses of damage caused by different types of animals. These studies did not examine the frequency of wildlife strikes with respect to the severity of aircraft damage from the strike. Data on reported damage to aircraft due to strikes within the past ten years, from 2013 to 2022, were collected using the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Wildlife Strike Database. This research focused on determining whether there was a difference in the annual wildlife strike rate by damage category in the United States (US) between 2013 and 2022. Upon analysis, the results revealed that more wildlife strikes reported “none” or no damage to aircraft than minor, undetermined, substantial, and destroyed categories. While most reports reported no damage or minimal damage, collisions between wildlife and aircraft remained a continuous threat, for there were 64,224 reported strikes made within the US by aviators during this period.
