An airprox is the breach of minimum separation (both vertical and lateral) that two aircraft need to maintain while flying. The data was contained in DGCA’s Annual Safety Review-2023 that was released on Wednesday.
“DGCA publishes the ‘national aviation safety plan’ (NASP) identifying the national – high risk categories of occurrences (N-HRCs) in line with ICAO Global Aviation Safety Plan (GASP). The performance of NASP in terms of safety performance indicators (SPI) and safety performance targets is assessed annually and published in the form of Annual Safety Review (ASR). It presents the analysis of the aggregate safety data derived from the DGCA database and external sources such as ICAO iSTARS for the preceding year. This data driven approach ensures a firm embedding of the safety culture in the aviation growth trajectory and provides a robust process to identify emerging safety issues and continually refine existing procedures,” the statement said.
