Safety - Norway
PRB monitoring
▪ Avinor ANS continued demonstrating good safety performance and maintained the safety levels achieved in 2020, remaining at the EoSM target levels. Avinor ANS undertook significant initiatives in the area of performance monitoring and safety culture to ensure continuous improvement of safety management function.
▪ Norway recorded an increase in the rate of runway incursions but a decrease of the rate of separation minima infringements in 2021 relative to 2020. Both rates are higher than the respective Union-wide average rate. Of the airports with more than 80,000 movements, Gardermoen has the second highest rate of RIs at 6.4 per 100,000 movements. Avinor ANS should consider looking into the reasons contributing to this rate and take appropriate mitigating actions, if necessary.
▪ Avinor ANS should improve its safety management by implementing automated safety data recording systems.
