This article gives an overview of the best practices used in aviation occurrence investigation. It also describes the use of some specific equipment, like UAVs and flight simulators, in the process, along with their benefits and limitations. As a general rule, the investigation should be 1. unbiased (i.e. find out what has happened as opposed to pr...
The stages of gathering evidence and their subsequent examination are very important for conducting an objective investigation. The following practices can prove very helpful: 1. examination of evidence should start only after all of it has been gathered and categorized. 2. categorization of evidence is critical for the later stages of the investig...
Most investigations use witness statements to help reconstruct the events. The following practices generally give a better chance for obtaining the most (and most useful) information: 1. statements need to be taken shortly after the event, otherwise memories may fade. 2. no statement should be discarded out of hand. A statement from a witness exper...
Flight Simulators
If used properly, flight simulators can help investigators gain a better understanding of what happened during the occurrence through the eyes of the participants. It should be noted, however, that the use of simulators is subject to certain limitations. Some situations can be simulated better than others. The investigator needs to be fully aware of the limitations and use other appropriate methods to supplement the simulator results. Simulators are very useful for: 1. recreating aircraft beh...
Drones
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), popularly refered to as drones, provide investigators with a number of options and advantages, e.g.: 1. quick deployment. Unlike e.g. police or SAR helicopters, drones are deployable in a matter of minutes after reaching the accident site. Also, the pictures are immediately available. 2. full control. The operator (investigator) has a control over the flight path and the viewing angle therefore can position the camera at the optimal position. 3. high quality....
During an investigation, it is common to come across hazards that have not been addressed but are not directly related to the occurrence. The conclusions however, should focus on the factors that are related to the event in some way and other channels should be used to rectify the other hazards. Once the list of factors and contributors is complete...
Safety Management & Promotion. Accident and incident investigation support. The Agency's role in the field of aircraft accidents and incidents investigations is focused mostly in: to follow the progress of aircraft accidents and incidents investigations, to be represented in investigations and deliver technical expertise whenever needed,
The purpose of investigations is to identify the cause of accidents, rather than to assign blame and liability. Regulation (EU) No 996/2010 lays down a comprehensive legal framework for the conduct of civil aviation accident and incident investigations in the EU.
