Course Detail: AAIM - Aircraft Accident Investigation & Management
Overview
In the Aircraft Accident Investigation and Management course, developed by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, participants will learn the fundamentals required to conduct or manage an aircraft mishap/accident investigation.
The participant will gain insights into the inner workings of the NTSB and ICAO investigative structure. The participant will review the investigation sequence from the pre-planning stage through the general survey and specific analysis of a mishap/accident, culminating with the determination of findings, probable cause(s), contributing factors, and recommendations.
The participants will participate in live witness interview and photography/site documentation exercises. Crash laboratory exercises and case examples help the participant identify, collect and analyze data in the process of determining probable cause/s. Participants will get hands on time using the FARO Focus laser scanner for site documentation. The participant also discovers solutions to problems faced during aircraft mishap/accident investigations.
