This view shows fluid porting for reverse rudder operation. With the secondary slide jammed to the body and an input command to move the primary slide in a direction opposite of the jam, the primary slide moves beyond its intended design point and ports fluid for a left rudder movement with a right rudder pedal command.

Reporting an accident The investigation Results of the investigation Safety recommendations Why an Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau ? Within the context of the Agreement of 5 December 1944, the ICAO issued Appendix 13 for the attention of its member states, containing guidelines as to how investigations into aircraft accidents and serious incidents should be carried out. The sole purpose of these investigations is the prevention of aircraft accidents and therefore the improvement of aviation safety. In the beginning, aircraft accident investigations were frequently carried out by the supervisory authority. As a supervisory authority could be involved in the actual root cause of an air accident, by issuing inappropriate regulations or by failing in its obligations, a separation of influence is appropriate here. In the 1950s, the ICAO therefore recommended that air accidents be investigated by independent bodies. The Swiss Parliament pronounced the formation of an Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), which commenced operations in 1960. The AAIB is integrated into the General Secretariat of the Federal Department for the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (

Last updated: May 31, 2004 var site="sm8twa800" The Associated Retired Aviation Professionals was formed in early 1997. Its members include former military, civilian, and aviation professionals who are committed to independently investigating the mysterious crash of TWA Flight 800 on July 17, 1996. Introduction CDR. William S. Donaldson , USN (ret.), challenged the official NTSB position on the cause of the crash of TWA Flight 800 in a series of letters to James Hall, Chairman of the NTSB between April 1997 and December 2000. During those four years, CDR. Donaldson worked with other Retired Aviation Professionals, including some previous crash investigators as well as persons inside the NTSB investigation itself. CDR. Donaldson has extensive experience as a Naval crash investigator and he and others concluded that the NTSB's explanation of the Center Wing Tank explosion was not credible. With the help of these other concerned aviation professionals, CDR. Donaldson produced an extensive report on the cause of the crash. The initial Interim Report was delivered to the House Aviation Subcommittee on July 16th, 1998. Information uncovered in early 1999 now shows that TWA Flight 800 could have been shot down by one or more shoulder-fired missiles. The FBI was briefed by military missile experts in the Fall of 1996 that Flight 800 was well within the range of a shoulder fired missile. The FBI conducted a covert dredging operation for stinger missile parts between November 1996 and April 1997.

Home MAJOR ACCIDENTS AND INVESTIGATIONS 24 July 1999 Embraer EMB-110-P1 Bandeirante DQ-AFN, Delailasakau, Republic of the Fiji Islands Synopsis The crew was conducting a regular public transport flight, PC121, in an Embraer Bandeirante aircraft. They departed Nausori for Nadi at 0525 on 24 July 1999, Fiji time. At 0533, the crew advised Nausori Air Traffic Control (ATC) that they were maintaining 6,000 feet and on the direct track. Nausori ATC instructed the crew to contact Nadi ATC at 0535. When the crew did not contact Nadi ATC at 0535, Nadi ATC attempted to contact the crew, discussed the issue with Nausori ATC, and asked another aircraft to attempt to contact PC121. A resident of Delailasakau village reported observing an aircraft and hearing the sound of an explosion shortly after 0530. At 0700, Nausori ATC advised Nadi ATC that a witness had reported that an aircraft had crashed about 3 kilometres from Delailasakau. The police were advised at 0731. During the preceding two hours ATC had attempted to contact the crew but did not initiate a distress phase. At 0758, an an Air Fiji pilot instigated a search for PC121 and located the aircraft wreckage, at 0816, on the south-eastern slope of a ridge about 41 kilometres west of Nausori. The aircraft had broken up and impacted the eastern and western sides of the ridge. Subsequent investigation revealed that the aircraft was operated within its weight-and-balance limitations and was being maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements. No evidence was found of any fault in the aircraft that may have contributed to the accident.

SCSI Aircraft Accident Investigation (AAI) 20 April 2004 SCSI emphasizes "hands on" training. Some of the wreckage SCSI students use to gain "hands on" experience. 11 training days SCSI Home Page Course Catalog Course Schedules Course Description These are the regulatory reasons for understanding the aircraft accident investigation process and techniques. There is also another very important reason for understanding accident investigation. The NTSB and the FAA only become involved in those events (accident or incidents) that are reportable under Federal Regulations. But, many events occur that are not reportable which under slightly different circumstances could easily have been an accident and reportable. An effective aviation safety program must be able to identify, investigate, and correct the factors that create near accidents so that a real accident can be prevented. It is for these two reasons that SCSI has designed and offers this Aircraft Accident Investigation (AAI) course. In this course you will become familiar with the regulatory requirements for investigating and reporting, not only those requirements applicable to the United States, but also those of ICAO Annex 13 upon which almost all modern individual reporting and investigating requirements are based regardless of nation. Once you understand the reporting requirements you will learn about how to comply with the operator's responsibilities to preserve evidence and support the investigation. You will learn how to set up an interim response team that will collect and preserve evidence. You will learn what evidence to preserve and how to preserve it. You will also learn about the hazards at an accident site and how to protect yourself.

SCSI Helicopter Accident Investigation HAI "The thing is, helicopters are different from planes. An airplane by its very nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces and controls working in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance to this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying immediately and disastrously. There is no such thing as a gliding helicopter." Harry Reasoner's Comments, ABC Radio circa 1970 Visit actual Helicopter wrecks and have the SCSI instructor point out and describe a tension failure in a UH-1 helicopter rotor housing. This failure was the result of a helicopter unique phenomenon known as "dynamic rollover." This is just part of the "hands on" experiences gained in SCSI accident investigation courses which provide laboratory time in the world's largest aviation crash laboratory. SCSI Home Page Course Catalog Course Schedules This page revised 20 April 2004 Course Description You will also learn to identify some of the inflight problems associated with transmission and rotor failures. These include actual examples of Mast Bumping and Tail Rotor Failure. You will learn about the importance of crash survivability investigation in helicopter accidents and the specific areas of concern.
