Description

Aviation Ground Safety Investigation concerns the movement areas around an aerodrome and the investigation of incidents and accidents that occur within them. Ground damage represents a major cost to the aviation industry exceeding $200 billion per annum, yet safety measures have tended to focus mainly on aircraft safety in flight. This course covers the investigative process and issues specific to ground safety. This includes principles of safety and human factors, managing the response to incidents and accidents, handling of witnesses, victims and media, legal requirements in investigation, sources of evidence, analysis techniques, reporting and proactive management.
