Safety - Germany
PRB monitoring
▪ DFS achieved the RP3 EoSM targets in 2021, earlier than planned and retained this level in 2022. DFS implemented harmonised measures to ensure continuous improvement of safety performance.
▪ Germany reported an increase in the rate of separation minima infringements and a comparable rate of runway incursion in 2022 relative to 2021. Both rates are below the Union-wide.
▪ The German NSA aims to improve the monitoring of safety occurrences. A procedure was implemented that was based on regular reviews and in-depth auditing of specific cases.
▪ DFS could improve its safety management by implementing automated safety data recording systems.
