International Federation of Air Line Pilots' Associations - Accredited Accident Investigator Scheme

Accredited Accident Investigator Scheme

IFALPA has developed the "Accredited Accident Investigator (AAI) Scheme", which involves the accreditation of pilot investigators who will provide the most professional contribution to any state investigation. These accredited representatives understand pilot culture, human factors and operations and as such are a valuable asset to any investigation. They are also valuable in determining recommendations that will be effective in preventing recurrences and in promoting aviation safety. All candidates go through an approved international accident investigation course and their training, qualifications and experience is carefully reviewed by IFALPA.

Famous quotes containing the words accident, investigator and/or scheme:

    A work is never completed except by some accident such as weariness, satisfaction, the need to deliver, or death: for, in relation to who or what is making it, it can only be one stage in a series of inner transformations.
    Paul Valéry (1871–1945)

    “O human creature, ... you are the investigator without knowledge, the magistrate without jurisdiction, and all in all, the fool of the farce.”
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    We doubt not the destiny of our country—that she is to accomplish great things for human nature, and be the mother of a nobler race than the world has yet known. But she has been so false to the scheme made out at her nativity, that it is now hard to say which way that destiny points.
    Margaret Fuller (1810–1850)
