The NAV CANADA Track Record

摘要

The NAV CANADA track record begins with safety. It is our business imperative since no aviation business can afford a loss of public confidence. The company has seen a decline in IFR-to-IFR losses of separation, the industry safety benchmark, from 1.4 per 100,000 air traffic movements in 1997 to 0.77 per 100,000 in 2014. By far, the majority of these were technical infringements with no risk of collision. Safety improvements have been gained on a number of fronts. Investment in technology, such as advanced surveillance, new communication systems, and automated warning functions, have enhanced safety awareness. Educational programs have been developed to increase awareness of the importance of proper pilot-controller communications and other safety related issues, while collaborative activities with customers, airport authorities, and other stakeholders have been undertaken to reduce safety-related events such as runway incursions.
