Safety - Portugal

PRB monitoring

▪ NAV Portugal has already achieved the RP3 EoSM targets in 2020 for all five management objectives, but in 2023 the ANSP failed to maintain its level for safety risk management. NAV Portugal requires to implement specific measure in the area of occurrence analysis and monitoring of functional system underperformance. The NSA has not raised a potential risk of not meeting RP4 target levels.

▪ Portugal recorded stable performance with respect to safety occurrences with lower rates of separation infringement and runway incursion relative to 2022. The NSA was in the process of reviewing the State Safety Plan (SSP) related to monitoring of occurrences and implementation and efficiency of specific measures.

▪ NAV Portugal do 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. Over 2023, the component “Safety Risk Management” was degraded and is below 2024 target level. Improvements for two questions in “Safety Risk Management” are still expected during RP3 to achieve RP3 targets.
