Safety - Ireland
PRB monitoring
▪ IAA ANSP achieved the RP3 EoSM targets in four out of five management objectives, missing the target for safety risk management despite planning to achieve it since 2020. The Irish NSA conducted oversight of the IAA ANSP management function in 2021 and concluded that IAA ANSP needs to improve the safety risk management. The measures identified are mainly related to implementation of Regulation (EU) 2017/373.
▪ Ireland recorded a marginally higher rate of separation minima infringements relative to 2020 and lower rate of runway incursions. Both rates are below the Union-wide average rates.
▪ The NSA has established associated safety targets and alert thresholds in order to provide quantifiable measures related to the achieved level of safety.
▪ IAA ANSP should improve its safety management by implementing automated safety data recording systems.
