Safety - Germany
PRB monitoring
▪ DFS achieved the RP3 EoSM targets already in 2021 and retained the levels over 2022 and 2023. DFS continued to improve its safety performance and increased the level of safety promotion to level D in 2023.
▪ Germany reported a decrease in the rate of separation minima infringements and runway incursion in 2023 relative to 2022. Both rates 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 do not use automated safety data recording systems.
