Safety - Latvia
PRB monitoring
▪ In 2023, LGS has improved its performance for safety policy and objective and risk management and consequently achieved the RP3 target levels for all management objectives.
▪ LGS implemented improvements in the procedures for change management and safety assessment. More developments are necessary in the area of Fatigue Risk Management and Emergency Response Plan.
▪ Despite the currently high performance of the ANSP, the NSA cautions that the ANSP might not be able to retain the RP3 targets due to financial and human resource issues as a result of the war in Ukraine.
▪ Latvia recorded stable performance with respect to safety risks with a single runway incursion and a single separation minima infringement in 2023.
▪ LGS uses specific safety recording tools for separation minima infringements and runway incursions and is one of the few ANSPs that does so.
