Safety - Ireland
PRB monitoring
▪ AirNav Ireland achieved the RP3 EoSM targets in four out of five management objectives, but still needs improvements in safety risk management. In 2023, the ANSP exceed the target achieving level D for safety culture.
▪ To ensure achieving the required level D for safety risk management, the ANSP set up as specific project plan under the leadership of Safety Manager containing specific measures in this area. The NSA considers that these measures should provide for the ANSP to achieve or exceed the targets the year 2024.
▪ Ireland recorded marginally higher rate of separation minima infringements and runway incursions relative to 2022. The rate of runway incursions was above 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.
▪ AirNav Ireland do not use automated safety data recording systems.
