Safety - Cyprus

PRB monitoring

▪ DCAC Cyprus is required to improve its safety performance in all five management objectives. DCAC Cyprus has initiated some improvements in its safety management function, however the actions were suspended due to the pandemic and only restarted recently. DCAC Cyprus is lagging the expected performance as per the performance plan and requires significant improvements in its safety management to achieve the RP3 targets. The Member State adopted the National Safety Plan for 2022 to significantly improve safety oversight of DCAC Cyprus based on specific indicators.

▪ Cyprus recorded higher occurrence rates for both separation minima infringements and runway incursions relative to 2020. The NSA has implemented the ‘NSA procedure for the monitoring of ANS Performance’ that examines safety performance with respect to occurrences twice per year.

▪ DCAC Cyprus should improve its safety management by implementing automated safety data recording systems.

Effectiveness of Safety Management (EoSM) (KPI#1)

Focus on EoSM

All EoSM components are still below 2024 EoSM target levels. Small progress is observed from the results of 2020. Improvements in safety management are still expected in all components during RP3 to achieve 2024 targets.
