ABSTRACT

The aviation safety is the priority number one in the global aviation world while there is still continuous de-mand to increase the capacity and improve efficiency. Every ANSP (air navigation service provider) invests all the effort and resources to achieve this goal. The European ATM world identified 5 safety priorities. The main focus is on the serious incidents such as Separation Minimum Infringements (SMI) and Runway Incursions (RI). Does it mean that ANSP is providing safer service in case of decrease of SMIs or RIs? What is the added value to collect data without detailed analysis? This article summarizes the analysis of data—RIs and SMIs between IFR-IFR traffic. Based on the detailed analysis of the data provided there were proposed recommendations to focus on for future RIs and SMIs prevention.
