PRB monitoring
▪ LFV achieved the RP3 EoSM target levels in 2021 and has maintained the levels since then.
▪ SDATS achieved the EoSM RP3 targets in 2023 and maintained the levels in 2024.
▪ ARV – Arvidsjaur and ACR implemented significant improvements for Safety Risk Management and achieved EoSM RP3 targets for all Management Objectives in 2024.
▪ Sweden recorded stable performance with respect of safety occurrences with a slight decrease in the rate of runway incursions and separation minima infringements compared to 2023.
Effectiveness of Safety Management (EoSM) (KPI#1)
LFV: All five EoSM components of the ANSP meet the RP3 target level. The level was maintained compared with 2023 ACR:All five EoSM components of the ANSP meet the RP3 EoSM target level. In 2024, significant improvement was observed for “Safety Risk Management” enabling this area to reach the target level. SDATS: All five EoSM components of the ANSP meet the 2024 target level. The level was maintained compared with 2023. AFAB: All five EoSM components of the ANSP meet the RP3 EoSM target level. In 2024, significant improvement was observed in “Safety Risk Management” enabling this area to reach the target level.
LFV achieved the RP3 EoSM target levels in 2021 consistent with the performance plan by improving Safety Assurance from maturity level B to C. Other Management Objectives were already at the RP3 target maturity level. LFV has maintained the levels since then.
SDATS started in 2021 with only one Management Objective (Safety Culture) being below the RP3 targets and followed the performance plan reaching level C in 2023. SDATS retained these levels in 2024 hence achieving the RP3 targets.
ARV – Arvidsjaur began2021 needingto improve two of the five Management Objectives by one level to achieve the RP3 targets and planned to implement these improvements by 2023. Overall ARV followed this plan, reaching level C on Safety Assurance one year ahead and level D one year behind the plan.
Since 2023, ACR has been working with improvements of the SMS, stemming from an audit in 2022, to develop and to increase achievements in all aspects of safety and SMS. ACR reached level C in all Management Objectives in 2023 and further improved Safety Risk Management in 2024 to reach the RP3 targets by the end of RP3. In general, ACR followed their plan established at the beginning of RP3.

Sweden has seen a downwards trend in the rate of RIs reported at Member State level since the start of RP3, reducing the rate to under one-third by 2024. However, some of the reduction in the rate was caused by a change in reporting. For data presented from 2023, only occurrences with a safety impact were recorded. This may explain the decrease of the rate between 2022 and 2023. Despite the decrease, in 2024 the rate remained above the Union-wide average.
RIs with an ANS contribution remained low in 2024, with one occurrence causing an increase in the rate compared with 2023, when no RIs with ANS contribution were reported. The number of RIs remained low throughout RP3.

Sweden has shown a downwards trend in the rate of SMIs at a Member State level. The data is affected by the same change in classification as described for RIs and some decreased between 2022 and 2023 can, at least partly, be explained by this change. Between 2023 and 2024, the rate decreased by 30%.
At the ANSP level, only LFV reported SMIs with ANS contribution. After a peak in 2021, the trend of the rate has been downwards with a decrease in the rate between 2023 and 2024 of around -66%.
Quality of occurences reporting
The number of occurrences reported at Member State level seems consistent with the occurrences reported at the ANSP level for SMIs and RIs. For data presented from 2023 only occurrences with a safety impact are recorded.
