Abstract
The research starts with discussing the aircraft accident investigation which is defined as a process conducted for the purpose of accident prevention and focused on the circumstances of the accident including gathering, recording and analysing all of the available information, the drawing of conclusions, and the determination of accident causes . Despite the attitude and commitment to achieving the above purpose, accident investigations may become a cumbersome task associated with significant costs and uncertainty. This can potentially contribute to some accidents being assigned an unknown cause as seen in global aircraft accident statistics for the past 50 years. Thus, the investigation process has been subjected to constant review in order to improve its outcomes and to help enhance air traffic safety. This research work aims to contribute to this constant review process by examining possible methods of improving the efficiency of aircraft accident investigation. As a result, initially the question of how to comprehensively consider the complex investigation procedure was raised. The work concludes that an intuitive and interdisciplinary approach must be vital elements of any contemporary method used for establishing a set of priorities for further improvement of aircraft accident investigation. Hence, the interpolations methods, including an analysis of accident statistics and Delphi enquiry, are appropriate tools in analysing and drawing conclusions for further improving the investigation. The statistical data examined contained the number of accidents which occurred between 1950 and 2004 worldwide including accident distribution over the past, causal factors, and casualty count. The importance of statistics as a research tool has long been appreciated by ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) which sees accidents statistics as a tool for ‘understanding the past, explaining the present and planning for the future.
