	About the AAIB < English < rnf.is
		The AAIB shall operate autonomously and independently from public authorities and shall in its investigations be independent of other investigating parties, a prosecuting authority, and courts.

		Under special circumstances, the AAIB is authorised to issue a statement on the conclusion of an investigation or to complete an investigation of a case with the statement of an opinion instead of issuing a report.

	FAA Demurs on New Regs For Low Fuel Indicators Air Safety Week - Find Articles
		AAIB's recommendations for FAA arose during an investigation into a Feb. 8, 2005, incident, involving an A340-642 bound from Hong Kong to London, that had to be diverted to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) because it appeared to the flight crew that the craft was low on fuel.
		AAIB also told us they had nothing more to say on the issue than what's already in their report.
		AAIB agrees that it could be argued that the general FAA regulation and its similarly worded EASA equivalent cover the need to have low fuel indicators.

		Another AAIB report, published at the same time, regarding the plane crash of a Cessna 172N off the Scilly Isles on 4 October last year, revealed that the aircraft may simply have run out of fuel.
		On the day of the flight one of the passengers, a pilot, checked the fuel tanks and estimated that they were three quarters full.

		According to the AAIB, the first officer's ADI and the standby ADI were correctly displaying the aircraft's dire attitude.
		The AAIB suggested this failure was symptomatic of a larger problem: "It can be argued that at the time of the accident KAL crews, in general, were not adequately equipped to deal with this malfunction in a timely manner to avoid loss of control."
		The AAIB urged that it be strengthened further to "ensure adaptation of imported material to accommodate the Korean culture." The godlike authority invoked in the captain, a manifestation of traditional Korean structure, has sometimes been criticized as an impediment to good CRM.

		With AAIB a 747 (a heavy jet) will not only be louder than a Learjet (a light jet) but will also sound different (including thrust reverse and spool-up.) The net result is a much more realistic experience for all your AI traffic, right out of the box.
		AAIB goes a step further by allowing the easy reassignment of sound globally, by aircraft model code, or by individual aircraft giving you have complete control over AI Traffic sounds.
		AAIB sound key mapping is the simplest way of changing default sounds and volumes but do have some limitations and are best suited for tweaking the basic sounds.

	Catalogue of safety failures found over BA planes @ AMTOnline.com NEWS
		Following inquiries into four mid-air failures, the Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB), the aviation watchdog, warns that safety problems may be "widespread within the organisation" and substandard working practices are commonplace among maintenance staff.
		The AAIB's reservations over BA's maintenance procedures are crystallised in a report on the Boeing 757which took off in September 2003 without two wing panels.
		The AAIB highlights similar failures with the BA flight from Gatwick to Antigua in June of the same year, when the craft lost an under-wing maintenance door in mid-flight.

	The Bomb Trigger on Pam Am 103
		As the AAIB report makes quite clear, nothing untoward was noted on the cockpit or data flight recorders before Pam Am 103 suddenly exploded, within minutes of changing radio frequencies after passing overhead the Dean Cross.radio beacon.
		By the admission of the AAIB, the captain was heard transmitting his request for transatlantic clearance, then there was a loud noise on the cockpit voice recorder, then silence.
		The main point of this report is that since 1990, the AAIB has had in its possession a fragment of a radio circuit board, charred and contaminated with explosives residue.

		After an uneventful flight from Luton, the airplane touched down at 132 knots, wings level, and as the air/ground logic shifted to the ground mode, the speedbrake handle moved from the armed to the deployed condition.
		The AAIB sees a larger implication: The day is fast approaching when operators of all transport-category aircraft weighing more than 60,000 pounds (27,000 kg) must have FDM programs in place (see sidebar, page 48).
		However, the AAIB cited a similar September 1999 nose landing gear impact during a B757 landing in Gerona, Spain, where "cables were severed or jammed, resulting in the engines being rendered uncontrollable."

	AAIB admits Lockerbie error - Air Accident Investigation Branch research being used to pinpoint aircraft bomb blast ...
		The court heard that a complex formula used to calculate 'blast wave effects' after an explosion was incorrectly applied in the AAIB's 1990 report on the disaster.
		The calculation was used to determine the exact whereabouts of the initial spark, and the AAIB expert admitted in court this morning that the bomb which destroyed the Boeing 747 might have exploded closer to the fuselage skin than originally thought.
		Much of the prosecution's case rests on a link between the two suspects and the supposed location of the bomb, inside a suitcase in a luggage container, and the defence team is hoping to cast doubts over the supposed point of detonation.

		It wasn't until 1918 that the compromise code, Braille Grade 1 1/2 was adopted officially by AAWB and the AAIB for use in the United States.
		By 1932, the call for a more international English code led to a committee of members from AAWB and AAIB to go to London, where the British and American Braille Committees signed the Treaty of London, thus establishing Standard English Braille.
		In 1966, the Braille Authority expanded to five members, and an Advisory Council was established consisting of twelve members selected by the presidents of AAWB and AAIB (which had become the Association for the Education of the Visually Handicapped, AEVH).
