Safety - Germany
PRB monitoring
▪ DFS has successfully improved its performance in safety risk management, safety assurance, and safety promotion and achieved all the EoSM targets earlier than planned. DFS implements specific measures to ensure continuous improvement of safety performance.
▪ Germany reported a decrease in the rate of both runway incursions and separation minima infringements in 2021 relative to 2020. Both rates are below the Union-wide rates.
▪ The German NSA aims to improve the monitoring of safety occurrences. Therefore, a procedure was implemented based on regular reviews and in-depth auditing of specific cases.
▪ DFS should improve its safety management by implementing automated safety data recording systems.
