  1. FSF Mediterranean: 5th International Conference“Aviation Safety Performance: Can it be Measured?”Session 1: Challenges Facing Aviation Safety EUROCONTROL Network Manager (NM) ‘Top 5’ Safety Priorities Richard “Sid” Lawrence EUROCONTROL NMD Safety 15 May 2014

  2. Identifying the NM ‘Top 5’ - Scope • Strategic fit and challenge • The Process • The ‘Top 5’ • Deliverables • Where are we now? • Questions

  3. SES ATM NETWORK PERFORMANCE EFFICIENCY ENVIRONMENT CAPACI TY SAFETY NETWORK MANAGER

  4. Regulatory Chain Service Provision Chain NM, Aviation Operators: • Safety Management • Operational Safety • Safety Culture EC, EASA, NSAs: • Safety Rulemaking, • Certification • Safety Oversight Operational Safety Task • NM safety work programme fully coordinated with EASA; non-regulatory. • Some deliverables contribute towards EASA European Aviation Safety Plan (EASp).

  5. Network Strategy Plan Network Operations Plan Network Performance Plan NM Implementing Rule revision: Safety Management NM Safety – ‘Top 5’ Strategic Fit NM Safety: Identify Top 5 operational ATM Safety priorities Identify operational safety risks to mitigate safety risks at network level using relevant network safety data.

  6. Challenge The Challenge – find the ‘Top 5’ Operational ATM Safety Risk Priorities • How do we identify and prioritise the most important operational ATM risks facing the Network? • Strategic fit - respond to the Network Manager mandate / Network Strategy Plan - provide baseline for Network Top 5 Operational Safety Risk Priorities • More systematic review of risk areas • More explicit portfolio of initiatives and deliverables • Enhance the collaborative decision making • Another challenge, how to make sense of the available safety performance data/knowledge: • NM Safety Improvement Sub Group (SISG) in 2012: Let’s see what we did…

  7. Where to put the SISG work priorities? ORG ENABLERS OPS THREATS PRECURSORS OUTCOMES AG Comm. issues Loss of Separation Mid-air collision Severe WX Risks Airspace Infringement SMS Maturity Ground Collision Technical failures Runway Incursion Safety Culture CFIT Laser Illumination CFTT Competency system RE ATC Sector Overloads Unstabilised Approach

  8. The Process step-by-step: Potential Risk Areas 1. ANSPs’ Safety Priorities • Safety Nets • Systemic handling of Active Danger areas • Aircraft technical problems/unusual situations • Birdstrikes • Laser Illumination • Hot spots (route intersections) • Crossing traffic (airspace design) • Technical failures • Runway excursion • FOD • STCA • Simultaneous/Blocked Transmissions • HOTO • Loss of Separation • Runway Incursion • Airspace Infringements (inside CAS) • Weather • Unstabilised Approaches • Level Busts • Military activity • Oceanic Ops • Air Ground Communications • ANSP/ANSP Interface (internal and external coordination) • Ground operations • GA at small airports • Go-Arounds/Missed Approach 2. SuggestedPriorities 3. Collaborativedecision 4. In-depth analysis 5. Improvement Actions SISG Round Table

  9. Runway Incursion Loss of separation Airspace Infringement (of Controlled Airspace) Runway Excursion Incident after Unstabilised Approach Level Bust Adverse weather conditions ATC position/sector overloads Air-Ground Communication Incidents HOTO Incidents The Process step-by-step: Suggested Risk Priorities 1. ANSPs’ Safety Priorities 2.1Criticality of the Risk Areas - how close events are to an accident 2. Suggested Priorities 3. Collaborativedecision 4. In-depth analysis AHP methodology 5. Improvement Actions

  10. The process step-by-step : Suggested Risk Priorities 1. ANSPs’ Safety Priorities 2.2 Suggested Priorities 2. Suggested Priorities • Airspace Infringement • Runway Incursion • Loss of Separation • ATC sector overloads • Level Bust • Go Around Safety • Severe Weather Risk • Air Ground communications 3. Collaborativedecision 4. In-depth analysis 5. Improvement Actions

  11. The Process step-by-step: Agreed Risk Priorities 1. ANSPs’ Safety Priorities 3 Safety Team - Risk Review 2. Suggested Priorities • Runway Incursion • Loss of Separation 3. Collaborativedecision 4. In-depth analysis 5. Improvement Actions

  12. Simplified SAFMAP – Barriers Providence UNRESOLVED BY ATC AND PILOT/DRIVER RUNWAY CONFLICT Pilot/Driver RWY Collision Avoidance UNRESOLVED BY ATC RUNWAY CONFLICT ATC RWY Collision Avoidance RUNWAY CONFLICT Preventing Runway Incursion to turn into RWY conflict RUNWAY INCURSION Preventing Runway Incursion

  13. 7 PROVIDENCE COLLISION AVOIDANCE BY PILOT OR VEHICLE DRIVER 11 7 COLLISION AVOIDANCE BY ATC 8 18 10 26 CONFLICT PREVENTION 36 RWY INCURSION PREVENTION FAILED WORKED Findings - The efficiency of the barriers

  14. Findings – Runway Safety

  15. Runway Incursion – ‘Top 5’Priorities: Landing without Clearance • Detecting occupied runway

  16. Loss of Separation En Route – ‘Top 5’ Priorities: • Risk of operations without a transponder or with a dysfunctional one ‘Blind spot’ • Conflict detection with adjacent sectors

  17. ‘Top 5’ ATM Operational Safety Priorities for 2013 25/08/2014 21

  18. The Process step-by-step: ‘Top 5’ Studies 1. ANSPs’ Safety Priorities 4.1 Collect information for the specific risk area 2. Suggested Priorities 4.2 Analyse the causes and their interdependence 3. Collaborativedecision 4. Top 5 Study 4.3 Consolidate Suggested Safety Enhancements 5. Improvement Actions

  19. Where are we today? • ‘Top 5’ Safety Studies launched in 2013 – ongoing, nearing completion. • Prioritisation exercise repeated using 2012/3 data. • Results broadly similar – therefore, retain current ‘Top 5’ until completion of Studies. • However, runway incursion data revealed involvement of vehicles in RI incidents remains prevalent – intend to undertake survey of aerodromes/ANSPs: • ‘Best’ practices for aerodrome driving etc • Effectiveness of EAPPRI recommendations • Possible Safety Study

  20. Have we met the challenge? • We think so! • Structured, collaborative and robust process but without being over burdensome and time-consuming. • Uses existing safety data and contributes to our understanding of operational safety performance. • Enhances our collective safety knowledge and enables it to be widely spread to help others across the Network improve their safety performance.
