The Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB) has announced that it was set to review the existing Civil Aviation Investigation of Air Accidents and Incidents Regulations 2006, in order to conform to the updated ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPS).
The Bureau also said that the review became necessary in a bid for its policy to be in tandem with its counterparts around the world, adding that the draft document, which is now in the status of notice of proposed rule to the industry is already on the Bureau’s website.
A statement issued in Lagos by the Bureau’s spokesperson, Mr. Tunji Oketunbi hinted that since the current policy, which was promulgated in November 2006 came into operations, there had been series of amendments to accident and incident investigation by ICAO, especially to the Annex 13 of the convention.
Oketunbi said that AIB as one of the leading globally recognised aviation investigators, it could not operate in isolation of global standards and recommended practices.
