Safety Recommendations

The Aircraft Accident Investigation Authority (AAIA) is responsible for advancing transportation safety in the aviation sector. The AAIA conducts independent safety investigations and communicates identified risks in the aviation system to those persons or organizations best able to effect change to convince them to take remedial action to eliminate or reduce safety deficiencies. It is not the function of the AAIA to assign fault or determine civil or criminal liability. 

​

Under the Aircraft Accident Investigation Authority Act, the regulatory authority and any entity that a recommendation is addressed must formally respond to AAIA recommendations and explain how they have addressed or will address the safety deficiencies. The AAIA evaluates the responses and their overall effectiveness, assessing them as Fully Satisfactory, Satisfactory Intent, Satisfactory in Part or Unsatisfactory, and assigning them a status of Active, Dormant, or Closed. Progress made to address AAIA recommendations is assessed by the Chief Investigator of Air Accidents on an ongoing basis. Responses to recommendations assessed to be Fully Satisfactory are assigned Closed status.

​
Safety recommendations are issued by the AAIA following the investigation of aviation accidents and the completion of safety studies. Recommendations usually address a specific issue uncovered during an investigation or study and specify how to correct the situation. Letters containing the recommendations are sent to the organization best able to address the safety issue, whether it is public or private.
​

The AAIA has various ways of communicating safety deficiencies.

  • The Watch-list

  • Recommendations

  • Safety concerns

  • Safety advisory letters

  • Safety information letters
