Aircraft Incident Investigation

This five-day course aims to equip participants with essential skills in collecting evidence, conducting interviews, analysing data, making useful safety recommendations, and writing investigation reports through practices.

The quality of one organisation’s investigations depends on the investigators’ capabilities, and professional investigation training is essential.

Through discussions, case studies, video examples, and group exercises, participants will become familiar with the objectives of a safety investigation, the roles and responsibilities of a safety investigation team, human factors perspectives, the techniques of safety investigation interviews, different approaches to data analysis, and collaboration with other parties.

Topics covered:
