This incident highlighted a number of individual failures in the system for managing aircraft separation within the Auckland Terminal sector, the busiest sector within the New Zealand air traffic control system. Together with the findings of the NOSS, this indicates that a deeper systemic issue within the overall management of the sector may exist.
The Commission believes this is a safety issue that the Director needs to address with Airways and recommends that a review of Airways' operations be undertaken to confirm that the proposed re-organisation, including the centralisation of auditing and safety functions, will identify and remedy any systemic safety issues with the management and performance of the Auckland Terminal sector.
