Aircraft Accident Investigation is one of the responsibilities of the MTSB. The key functions for the aircraft accident and incident investigation are:
The MTSB investigates aircraft accidents pursuant to Article 26 of the Chicago Convention. While Article 26 of the Chicago Convention refers to investigation of accident, Annex 13 goes beyond investigation of accidents and prescribes Standards and Recommended Practices for the investigation of incidents as well, in particular, serious incidents. Thus, the MTSB also investigate serious incidents as recommended by Annex 13 and, where the safety lessons to be drawn, incidents that are not classified as serious incidents. Note: There may be instances where it is not clear-cut as to whether an incident should be classified as a serious incident. Even if such incidents are not classified as serious incidents and if they are likely to offer safety lessons, the MTSB initiates an investigation.
The sole objective of the investigation of an accident or incident shall be the prevention of accidents and incidents. It is not the purpose of this activity to apportion blame or liability.
When an aircraft accident or incident takes place, the owner, operator, pilot-in-command and any crew member of the aircraft, the operator of the airport, and any air traffic controller having knowledge of an accident or incident shall notify to the Accident Investigation Authority (the MTSB) and provides as much information as is possible as soon as possible and by the quickest means available.
