In 1969 the regulations made it clear on the purpose of accident investigation in avoiding future accidents and not to ascribe blame.
This is despite it being used informally for many years prior to this. There remained, however, the possibility for a full public inquiry should the Secretary of State require one.Īs the investigation was now done “in private” there was a provision to allow representations to be made if someone was likely to have blame attributed to them.ġ951 also saw the formal designation of a Chief Inspector of Accidents. An “Inspectors Investigation” would result in a completed and public report which would include any recommendations, similar to those that were previously issued by “the Court”. These updated regulations removed the need for an open court formal investigation, instead having an “in private” “Inspectors Investigation”. Accident investigation was laid down in Annex 13 of the International Civil Aviation Convention. In 1951 the regulations were updated to reflect the newly issued international conventions on aircraft accident investigation as laid down by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
