Safety - Portugal

PRB monitoring

▪ NAV Portugal has already exceeded the RP3 EoSM targets in 2020 and remained on or above targets since then. NAV Portugal implemented continuous monitoring process with the development of new tools and indicators to ensure maintaining current safety performance.

▪ Portugal recorded stable performance with respect to safety occurrences. The rate of separation infringement decreased while the rate of runway incursion remained at a comparable level despite the traffic increase. The NSA was in the process of reviewing the State Safety Plan (SSP) related to monitoring of occurrences and implementation and efficiency of specific measures.

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

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

Focus on EoSM

All five EoSM components of the ANSP meet or exceed the RP3 target level. Only a single question remains to be improved in “Safety Promotion” to reach the maximum maturity level.
