Safety - Finland

PRB monitoring

▪ Fintraffic ANS achieved the RP3 EoSM targets in four management objectives and must improve in safety risk management. The improvement of this management objective is planned in 2024.

▪ Finland recorded a stable number of safety occurrences, with a same rate of runway incursions and a marginal increase in the rate of separation minima infringements. Both rates were below the Union-wide average.

▪ Fintraffic ANS does not use 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. No improvements were observed over 2023, but only “Safety Risk Management” component is below RP3 target level with three questions to improve during RP3 to achieve RP3 target. IMPORTANT: EASA/European Commission did not receive the verified questionnaire from the NSA on time. This is an important step to receive confirmation that the self-evaluated questionnaire by the ANSP has been actually verified. It should be sent in due time to allow proper and timely drafting of the Monitoring Report.
