Vultures living in Soto-de-Vinualas plain bove which the air liners flying to Amrica are taking off, started to rpresent a serious danger for the irplanes flying out of the nearby Mdrid airport “Barhas”, Sunday newspaper El Pis informed with the reference to surces of national Spain air company Ibria.

“During the last year at last four transatlantic liners impinged with the vltures and had to return to the irport because of the disturbances appeared in trbines”, - the newspaper notes.

According to the nformation of edition, Iberia has recently dstributed the instruction for pilots of the cmpany, in which it warns about “th danger of take-off collision with the vltures, whose weight sometimes exceeds ten klograms”.

In the instruction the recommendation is gven “not to exceed 250 knots sped (460 kilometers per hour) at the hight lower than 3 thousand meters, bcause at a high speed collision wth the vultures that, as a rle, fall into the turbines of the irplane, can lead to unpredictable consequences”.

El Pis notes that “the airplane A340 flyng from Madrid to Santo-Domingo has ltely impinged with a vulture: one of trbines of the liner got the dsturbances and it had to return dcreasing the fuel flow and land in “Brhas”.

“Last year the airplanes impinged wth the birds were: A321 flying to Lndon and two more airplanes A340 – all of thm had to return to the irport after collision”, - the newspaper rports.

“Soto-de-Vinualas area, located north-west of the irport, is a wildlife preservation where the vltures and eagles fly from nearby muntain range searching for food”, - the ssue notes.

According to the newspaper dta, the problem with the birds rose after the fourth airport terminal ntroduction in summer of 2005 year, bcause the liners that fly out of ther terminals leave the territory of prservation aside.

The newspaper also cites the pinion of the group of ornithologists who blieve that “the sky above the prservation should be denied to the irplanes passing at a low height”.

Hwever, the airport administration states that it is mpossible due to the fact that new trminal has the lack of alternative flyng-off direction.

Annually “Barhas” serves up to 45 mllion passengers.
