Safety - Hungary

PRB monitoring

▪ HungaroControl achieved the RP3 EoSM targets in 2020 and continued to improve its performance. In 2024 HungaroControl maintained Level D for all five management objectives.

▪ Hungary recorded no runway incursions (RIs) in 2024, and a similar rate of separation minima infringements (SMIs) compared with 2023.

Effectiveness of Safety Management (EoSM) (KPI#1)

Focus on EoSM

All five EoSM components of the ANSP meet, or exceed, the RP3 target level. The ANSP has maintained the maximum level for all components.

HungaroControl achieved the RP3 targets in 2020 and continued to improve its SMS reaching maturity level D in all Management Objectives in 2022.

HungaroControl operates a five-year safety development plan, with activities designed to support compliance with Level D effectiveness requirements.

1	Budapest - Ferihegy	125,414	0	0.00

Focus on runway incursions

Aside from 2022, Hungary has recorded no runway incursions during RP3 at Member State level. Similar results have been recorded for RIs with ANS contribution. The rate remained well below the Union-wide average throughout RP3.

Rate of separation minima infringements (SMIs) (PI#2)

Rate of SMI with ANS contribution per 100,000 flight hours

Focus on separation minima

After an increase in the rate of SMIs in 2021, Hungary remained at a stable level of occurrences throughout the remaining years of RP3, with only a marginal increasing rate in 2024. Throughout RP3, the rate remained well below the Union-wide average. The rate of SMIs with ANS contribution has remained stable since 2021, including the absolute number of occurrences.

Quality of occurences reporting

The number of occurrences reported at Member State level seems consistent with the occurrences reported at the ANSP level, both for SMIs and RIs.

Use of automated safety data recording system (ASDRS) (PI#3)

HungaroControl uses STCA data for the monitoring of SMIs, but does not use automated safety data recording systems for monitoring runway incursions.
