✔Each aircrash is Unique & reaching till the centre of the Cause during investigation always brings multi-dimensional challenges along.

✔The factors that influence the Aircrash investigation are :

👉 Human Factors Involved.

👉 Photography of the Process.

👉 Witnesses (Direct /indirect).

👉 Records (Operations, Maintenance, Safety, Administrative, Weather Reports).

👉 Material Factors.

👉 Evidence Gathering.

👉 Analysis (Regular & critical).

👉 Conclusions & Validation.

👉 Recommendations (to prevent future accidents).

👉 Reporting.

Investigator in Charge’s role is Vital :

✔The Investigator in Charge (IIC) must have the authority to conduct the investigation, acquire resources, & have access to an organization’s leadership.

✔The IIC should be senior in authority to the person directly involved in the accident to eliminate influence over the reported outcome of the investigation.

✔The IIC should also ensure that team members are well trained, equipped, & that they have no conflicting duties that take precedence over the investigative effort.
