21. AAIB Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau The development of civil aviation has shown that it is necessary to draw up In the beginning, aircraft accident investigations were frequently carried http://www.bfu.admin.ch/en/html/portrait.html

Reporting an accident The investigation Results of the investigation Safety recommendations Why an Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau ? Within the context of the Agreement of 5 December 1944, the ICAO issued Appendix 13 for the attention of its member states, containing guidelines as to how investigations into aircraft accidents and serious incidents should be carried out. The sole purpose of these investigations is the prevention of aircraft accidents and therefore the improvement of aviation safety. In the beginning, aircraft accident investigations were frequently carried out by the supervisory authority. As a supervisory authority could be involved in the actual root cause of an air accident, by issuing inappropriate regulations or by failing in its obligations, a separation of influence is appropriate here. In the 1950s, the ICAO therefore recommended that air accidents be investigated by independent bodies. The Swiss Parliament pronounced the formation of an Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), which commenced operations in 1960. The AAIB is integrated into the General Secretariat of the Federal Department for the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (

Advanced Search Tips VIEWPOINTS Aircraft Accident Probes In the Next Century By C.O. Miller For the foreseeable future, the objective in aviation safety will be to reduce the number of accidents despite increasing flight hours. This is essential if public confidence in aviation is to be maintained as the global air transport system keeps expanding. Accident investigation has a critical role to play in all this, from fact-finding through issuing recommendations and follow-up. For if investigations of accidentsand incidentsare deficient or presumed corrective actions are incomplete, improving on today's low accident rates may be difficult. By and large, the aircraft accident investigations by the NTSB and related parties have been rather good. There have been valid criticisms of particulars but overall, the board's record is excellent. Change is difficult in the presence of general success. Still, the board's procedures essentially date back a half-century, and changes must be made if we are to meet the challenges of the 21st century. First, we need to get rid of the "tombstone" mentality that waits for repeat accidents. Major improvements in investigative effectiveness will occur only when parties better examine the total system and life cycle characteristics of a given mishap. Flawsbe they personnel errors, design shortcomings, management mistakes or lack of understanding of environmental factorsneed to be evaluated in the context of overall system safety. This means evaluating and tracking possible hazards including their past identification and control during system acquisition, engineering, test, operations and even into retirement.

Site Info INTRODUCTION TO SET Welcome I don't know whether to post this here or in the editorial section of the site, so I put it both places. The views expressed are mine and mine alone.. Ludwig Benner This set of documents compares an NTSB investigation with a subsequent investigation by others related to litigation. The NTSB reported that the crew became disoriented during a training maneuver, and essentially said that crew behavior and lack of management oversight of its trainng program caused the accident. The Petition for Reconsideration, on the other hand, argues that the aircraft engine broke off the aircraft in flight, making it unflyable. Who is right? Read the reports and try to decide for yourself. view NTSB Report view ALPA Petition for Reconsideration view Stearman paper (View other sets) POINTS TO PONDER After reading the reports, here are some points to ponder and comment on, but please, from an investigation process research perspective No ad hominum attacks..

Cabin Accident Investigation CAI 10 March 2005 Course Description This course focuses on the aircraft cabin environment and related investigation requirements. Attendees will be presented with information to satisfy the requirements for participation in a major investigation assigned to Cabin Safety and Survivability groups. In addition attendees will become familiar with the design requirements for major transport aircraft with particular focus on survivability considerations. Finally, each attendee will learn the unique requirements for interviewing survivors and completely documenting the cabin for deficiencies, injuries sustained during the aircraft accident, escape from the aircraft, and survivability in the post-crash environment. This course will include a practical team experience in reviewing accident data, documenting the cabin interior and analyzing contributing factors for survivability. While the CAI course can be taken without previous investigation experience, it is recommended that a basic aircraft accident investigation course or experience precede this course so that the attendee will be familiar with fundamental investigation techniques, impact assessment dynamics and systems investigation. Who Should Attend This course is designed for: The Aircraft Accident Investigator to increase appreciation for the Aircraft Cabin design and survivability aspects; and

The Investigation Board carries out independent investigations of aircraft accidents and air traffic incidents in order to promote safety within the field of aviation. The Investigation Board is an independent institution under the Ministry of Transport. Investigating accidents and incidents The purpose of the investigations is to determine the factors that cause accidents or incidents. On the basis of the investigations of the aircraft accidents and incidents, factors that constitute a threat to safety must be identified so that they may be avoided in future. The Board publishes the investigation reports that are drawn up on the basis of the investigations. The Board investigates both accidents in Denmark and abroad The Aircraft Accident Investigation Board for Civilian Aviation investigates aircraft accidents and incidents in Denmark, Greenland and the Faeroe Islands. Furthermore, the Investigation Board may represent Denmark on the investigation board of a foreign state if a Danish aircraft or Danish passengers have been involved in an accident.
