Safety - Spain
PRB monitoring
▪ ENAIRE continued high safety performance in 2021 and maintained the RP3 EoSM targets levels achieved in previous year. ENAIRE implemented continuous monitoring process to ensure maintaining high safety performance.
▪ FERRONATS achieved the RP3 EoSM target in four out of five management objectives with only safety risk management requiring further improvement. Some elements of this area have been already improved up to required level D over 2021. The NSA is confident that the targets will be achieved by the end of RP3.
▪ Spain recorded stable performance with respect to safety occurrences, with higher rate of separation minima infringements and marginally higher rate of runway incursions relative to 2020. The rates for both were above the Union-wide average rates in 2021. Of the airports with more than 80,000 movements, Málaga (LEMG) has the highest rate of RIs at 8.5 per 100,000 movements. ENAIRE should consider looking into the reasons contributing to this rate and take appropriate mitigating actions, if necessary.
▪ Spain uses specific automated safety data recording systems for ACC and TMA sectors, being one of the few ANSPs doing so.
