Safety - Switzerland
PRB monitoring
▪ Skyguide achieved the RP3 EoSM targets in all management objectives, except in safety risk management which is however aligned to the plan. In 2021, the NSA reviewed Skyguide safety management function and concluded that the ANSP is expected to achieve the EoSM targets toward the end of RP3. Skyguide implemented specific measures in all safety management areas to maintain safety performance.
▪ Switzerland recorded a lower rate of runway incursions, but a high rate of separation minima infringements in 2021 relative to 2020. Both rates are below the Union-wide average rates.
▪ Skyguide should improve its safety management by implementing automated safety data recording systems for runway incursions.
