BRISBANE, Australia—Every week, workers at one of Australia’s major airports spend hours searching the tarmac and terminals for a security threat that could bring down an airplane. The inspectors at Brisbane Airport, in Australia’s third biggest city, are hunting for the keyhole wasp, an introduced species that builds nests in Pitot tubes—a crucial instrument on the fuselage that tells pilots how fast they are flying. The wasps, which build nests out of mud, can block a tube in as little as 20 minutes. They are smaller than similar native species and have distinctive rings on their bodies.

Pentru viespi, tuburile pitot sunt cavitatea perfectă în care se poate construi rapid un cuib. Când tuburile pitot nu funcționează, avionul A330 trece automat în modul manual, forțând piloții să preia comenzile. Nu au existat incidente majore pe Aeroportul Brisbane din cauza viespilor, dar alte accidentele au fost legate de insectă. Tuburile pitot blocate ar putea provoca pierderea totală a indicatorilor de viteză și altitudine a aerului, care ar fi „periculoase”, potrivit avertizării. CASA a sfătuit companiile aeriene să acopere tuburile pitot în timp ce așteaptă pe Aeroportul Brisbane.
