Safety - Ireland

PRB monitoring

▪ IAA ANSP achieved the RP3 EoSM targets in four out of five management objectives in 2022, but still needs improvements in safety risk management. The measures identified mainly related to the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2017/373. Minimum maturity level on safety culture decreased between 2021 and 2022 but still achieved the RP3 target.

▪ Despite doubling the traffic, Ireland recorded a lower rate of separation minima infringements and runway incursions relative to 2021. Both rates are below the Union-wide average.

▪ The NSA has established associated safety targets and alert thresholds to provide quantifiable measures related to the achieved level of safety as defined by an Acceptable Level of Safety Performance (ALSP) of Ireland.

▪ IAA ANSP 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 the RP3 target level. Only “Safety Risk Management” is below RP3 target level, but the ANSP only need to improve in a single question to achieve RP3 targets. Over 2022, maturity has decreased for one question, which degraded the “Safety Culture” component from level D to C.
