It advises and supports the Executive Board and the directors of operations in matters of safety and security. Whenever changes are made to the air traffic management system, the safety and security specialists examine potential hazards, prepare a systematic risk analysis and ensure that possible risks are reduced to an acceptable level by taking appropriate measures. No operational change goes live without such safety documentation.  </p><p class="paragraph">As regards security, Corporate Safety & Security Management operates an information security management system. It is used to identify and assess risks at an early stage. Building on this, targeted measures are taken to ensure the necessary protection of the critical infrastructure and all other DFS services in accordance with the state of the art. </p><p class="paragraph">Safety-related occurrences are reported by operational staff and systematically investigated in the unit. These include, for example, infringements of separation, failures to maintain agreed minimum distances from airspace boundaries and aborted take-offs. The aim is to detect safety risks related to air traffic control and to eliminate them through appropriate countermeasures. This is not a matter of apportioning blame. The findings from the investigations are used to avoid repetitions and to increase the level of safety. </p><p class="paragraph"><br/></p><p class="paragraph"><br/></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="row-instance"><div data-component="3956ad99-52b4-4410-a242-b943de5ef8aa.gridBuilder:content-5-4" data-component-name="common.common.layout.metropolis.framework.meta:gridBuilder:content-5-4" data-component-chooserId="content:document" data-component-label="Zwei Spalten: 5 | 4" data-component-path="14785/content/repeat/item[6]/component" class="component component-gridBuilder component-gridBuilder-content-5-4"><div class="main-row "><div class="row align-center"><div class="columns small-12 medium-6 large-1 layout-column show-for-large"><div class="main-column__wrapper"><div class="column__content-wrapper main-column__content-wrapper "></div></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-6 large-5 main-column"><div class="main-column__wrapper"><div class="column__content-wrapper main-column__content-wrapper "><div class="id-content-first-column id-content"><div class="i4-img-container i4-align-fullwidth i4-nofloat"><img data-src="https://www.dfs.de/homepage/en/air-traffic-control/safety/shutterstock-1566102844.png?resize=0ba996:480x405c&cid=6g4.1l5y" data-ng-non-bindable="" data-lazy-mode="on-visible" src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAQAAAAECAIAAAAmkwkpAAAAPUlEQVR4XmOYNKE9OS2jorK8p6uZob27PSYprb6lpa6hjqGvv7Ops3vitOnpmZkM06b11jc3llZVtbc3AwBpSBgF2dVXJgAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==" alt="view on aircraft taxiing from above" data-srcset="https://www.dfs.de/homepage/en/air-traffic-control/safety/shutterstock-1566102844.png?cid=6g4.1l5y&resize=1100e9:960x810c 960w, https://www.dfs.de/homepage/en/air-traffic-control/safety/shutterstock-1566102844.png?cid=6g4.1l5y&resize=7b0c90:720x607c 720w, https://www.dfs.de/homepage/en/air-traffic-control/safety/shutterstock-1566102844.png?cid=6g4.1l5y&resize=0ba996:480x405c 480w" title="view on aircraft taxiing from above" data-sizes="(min-width: 1200px) 480px, (min-width: 768px) 476px, (min-width: 320px) 480px, 480px" class="i4-img-flexheight" data-i4-img-caption="view on aircraft taxiing from above"/><div class="i4-img-copyright-wrapper"><div class="i4-img-copyright">© Shutterstock</div></div></div><p class="paragraph"><br/></p></div></div></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-6 large-1 layout-column show-for-large"><div class="main-column__wrapper"><div class="column__content-wrapper main-column__content-wrapper "></div></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-6 large-4 main-column"><div class="main-column__wrapper"><div class="column__content-wrapper main-column__content-wrapper "><div class="id-content-second-column id-content"><h1 class="paragraph h1" id="runway-incursions-7c1b79d8">Runway incursions </h1><p class="paragraph">A protected area is defined for each aircraft that takes off or lands.

For aircraft using instrument flight rules, the controllers are in charge. Their task is to ensure the prescribed minimum separation distances between aircraft are complied with. If two aircraft do not maintain this separation, this is called an infringement of separation. The minimum separation distances are set in such a way that there is still sufficient safety buffer in case of an infringement. </p><p class="paragraph">Any such infringement is reported and subsequently investigated. In this way, possible weaknesses in the system can be detected and closed. DFS uses a standardised EU-wide system that distinguishes between five severity categories in its assessments.
