Safety - Austria
PRB monitoring
▪ Austria (Austro Control) has significantly improved in safety policy and objectives and safety promotion in 2023, achieving the RP3 targets. Austro Control still requires improvements in five areas out of 28 by the end of RP3. This is in line with the performance plan.
▪ Austro Control developed an improvement plan including specific measures required to reach the expected maturity levels. These measures have been incorporated into the strategic planning of the organisation.
▪ The NSA cautions that the ANSP might not be able to achieve the RP3 targets, but the ANSP is considered on track in particular due to the strategic focus on safety. No further measures required.
▪ The overall safety performance of the organisation was stable, with no occurrences of runway incursions (RIs) and lower rate of separation minima infringements compared with 2022.
▪ Austro Control does not use automated safety data recording systems.
