Notes to editors
- A field investigation is an independent investigation in which AAIB investigators collect, record and analyse evidence. The process may include attending the scene of the accident or serious incident; interviewing witnesses; reviewing documents, procedures and practices; examining aircraft wreckage or components; and analysing recorded data.
- Correspondence reports are based on investigations on accidents and incidents that are not subject to a field investigation. They are wholly, or largely, based on information provided by the aircraft commander and in some cases additional information from other sources.
- A Record-only investigation provides details of accidents and incidents which were not subject to a Field or correspondence Investigation. They are wholly, or largely, based on information provided by the aircraft commander at the time of reporting and in some cases additional information from other sources.
