Air Traffic Management
Scope
This chapter reviews safety data for the European Air Traffic Management (ATM) system. In some cases, incident
data is included in addition to accidents and serious incidents. This is provided by Eurocontrol and is collected
via the Annual Summary Template (AST) mechanism. The definitions and categories used in this section there‑
fore align with the taxonomy in use for the AST mechanism instead of the CICTT occurrence categories that are
used in other parts of the Annual Safety Review.
Although the AST mechanism has been in place for a number of years, there was a significant increase in report‑
ing from 2008 onwards. For this reason, the data covers a five‑year period from 2010-2014.
The analysis in the ATM chapter includes accidents which occurred within an EASA MS Flight Information Region
(FIR) involving at least one aircraft with MTOM of 2250 kg and above; and incidents that occurred within an EASA
MS FIR with no MTOM restrictions.
Key Statistics ATM
As shown in Table 39, there were no fatal accidents involving ATM in 2014 and the total number of non‑fatal ac‑
cidents and serious incidents was close to the average for the preceding 10-year period 2004-2013. The number
of serious injuries was slightly higher than the average, as can be seen in Table 40.
