Aircraft Incident Investigation (Part 1)

This three-day course serves as Part 1 of the Aircraft Incident Investigation course and aims to equip participants with essential skills in collecting evidence, conducting interviews and analysing data, through practices.

Through discussions, case studies 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.
