The Investigation of Aircraft Accidents and Incidents

SummaryAttention is confined to civil aviation and the present scope of investigating procedures is outlined on a world-wide basis. Deficiencies in these procedures are noted and some suggestions are made for possible future developments of technique. In particular it is suggested that there can be little progress in air safety without the assimilation of “ human engineering data” by investigators and the Industry alike.
