Safety - Cyprus
PRB monitoring
▪ DCAC Cyprus did not achieve the RP3 targets in any of the safety management objectives. DCAC Cyprus did not achieve the RP2 targets either and were already behind on plans to improve its safety management system (SMS) going into RP3. DCAC Cyprus requires significant improvements in its SMS to achieve the targets for RP3 (maturity must improve by one level in 11 out of 28 EoSM questions).
▪ The NSA adopted a safety program, which included a clear commitment to improve the safety oversight of DCAC Cyprus. Consequently, DCAC Cyprus initiated improvements in its SMS function – mainly employing additional safety staff – however the actions were halted by the pandemic.
▪ The PRB believes that achieving the RP3 targets should be feasible, but the NSA must ensure that the established plans are implemented.
▪ Cyprus recorded lower occurrences of separation minima infringement per flight hour than in 2019 and no occurrences of runway Incursions in 2020.
▪ DCAC Cyprus should improve its SMS by implementing automated safety data recording systems.
