Safety - Bulgaria

PRB monitoring

▪ BULATSA did not achieve the RP3 target for safety risk management, but it exceeded the RP3 targets for safety assurance and safety promotion. BULATSA exceeded its planned maturity levels from the performance plan.

▪ Bulgaria adopted the specific safety measures to achieve the acceptable level of safety performance according to its National Safety Plan, that is a part of the National Safety Programme. The plan’s objectives included the integration of key safety initiatives to introduce continuous safety improvements.

▪ Bulgaria did not provide monitoring data for separation minima infringements (SMIs).

▪ BULATSA could improve its safety management by implementing automated safety data recording systems.

Effectiveness of Safety Management (EoSM) (KPI#1)

Focus on EoSM

Four out of five EoSM components of the ANSP meet or exceed already the RP3 EoSM target levels. Only one question in “Safety Risk Management” component is below the RP3 EoSM target level.
