The data related to occurences, including incidents and accidents, can be analysed on the basis of various parameters like the time period, hard landings, airfields, operators and aircraft type, the official said. The official also said such an analysis will be helpful in preventing possible incidents in the future. For instance, if the analysis shows that there are repeated occurences at a particular airfield, then steps could be taken accordingly to mitigate the risks.
Meanwhile, the agency is working on bolstering its capabilities and has set up a flight recorders laboratory. Also, AAIB is in the process of recruiting five consultants -- two each for safety investigations and technical (flight recorders laboratory), and one for accident prevention. "As per the Rule 3 of Aircraft (Investigation of Accidents and Incidents) Rules, 2017 the sole objective of the investigations carried out by AAIB is prevention of accidents and incidents and not to apportion blame or liability," as per its website.
