French Regulations The measures applicable to the conduct of investigations into aircraft accidents and incidents are, essentially speaking, a transposition into national law of international norms and recommended practices. Those differences which exist make only a slight difference to our foreign partners. At
the moment, the principal relevant regulations are articles R 142.2
(notification of accidents and incidents), R 425.2 (commencement of
an investigation) and R 425.3
(commissions of inquiry) of the Civil Aviation Code, as well as Law
99-243 of 29 March 1999 relating
to technical investigations into accidents and incidents in civil aviation.
This law confirms the
role and the independence of the safety investigation, known as a technical
investigation, specifies and confirms the powers of investigators and
completes the relevant legal provisions, in particular with reference
to communication and dissemination of information. |
