Quarterly Aviation Report Q1 2024
In this quarterly report, the Dutch Safety Board pays attention to several incidents that occurred abroad involving Dutch participation.
Chris van Dam, chairman: "The Safety Board is a Dutch organisation, but that doesn’t mean we only carry out investigations within the Netherlands. Our field of operations covers the whole world. It all has to do with international agreements according to which the country where an accident has occurred conducts an accident investigation. That country then examines the circumstances of the accident and is responsible for the conduct of the investigation. Multiple countries may sometimes be involved with an occurrence, and they must then provide support for the investigating country. This also applies to the Dutch Safety Board in the event of occurrences
abroad."
International collaboration on accident investigations
The Dutch Safety Board has published the Quarterly Aviation Report Q1 2024. In this edition, Chris van Dam, chairman, discusses international collaboration in accident investigations in the aviation sector in his foreword.
The world as a working area
International agreements require that a country where an aviation accident has occurred, conducts an accident investigation. If an accident occurs abroad with Dutch involvement, the Dutch Safety Board will also be involved. Thanks to good global cooperation, the aviation sector can jointly conduct an effective and thorough investigation and learn as many lessons as possible.
The Quarterly Aviation Report Q1 2024 describes:
4 occurrences into which an investigation has been started in the Netherlands
6 occurrences into which an investigation has been started abroad
16 completed investigations
1 completed investigation abroad
