Aircraft Accident Investigation Course
Aircraft Accident Investigaion Course
UND Aerospace and the Air Line Pilots Association, in a cooperative effort, have
designed and developed a 2 1/2 day aircraft accident investigation course.
Because the field phase of an accident investigation can be confusing, chaotic and
labor intensive, this "hands-on" course, using an actual aircraft wreckage, provides
participants experience analyzing and documenting a re-created aircraft accident.
While not designed to solve aircraft accidents, the course places participants in
the logistics involved in accident response, participation, on-scene investigation
groups and on-scene investigative techniques.
Participants will be exposed to the same investigative groups used by the National
Transportation Safety Board and major airlines to include Air Traffic Control (ATC),
Cockpit Voice Recorders (CVR), Maintenance Records, Operations, Aircraft Structures
and Survival Factors.
The course is designed for individuals or organizations that may need to participate
or become parties involved in an aircraft accident investigation, such as:
- Flight departments
- Flight schools
- Aircraft manufacturers
- Insurers
- Air carriers
- Government
- Law firms
- Law enforcement
- Crash/Fire/Rescue Departments
