Additional Event Information & Acknowledgement of Industry Sponsor(s):
Although the NTSB is primarily responsible for aircraft accident investigation, the FAA accomplishes those tasks in parallel as a matter of safety identification and safety assurance with certifications and operations within the National Airspace System. The First Responders are our front line to saving the lives and preserving the evidence necessary to properly determine what happened in the event of an Accident. With their assistance in scene preservation, we may more effectively determine what was the cause of the accident.
Teaching Points:
- NTSB or FAA are in charge once notified, priority one!
- Require scene assessment prior to entry
- Unlike an automobile accident, aircraft accidents affect not only the occupants of the aircraft but also the public bystanders near by or hundreds of feet away.
- Hazards commonly found at the accident site
- Hazards that are explosive
- Extraction may not be easy
- There may be more than one aircraft involved
