ICAO Annex 13, Aircraft Accident and Incident Investigation
Section 01: Organizations & Authorities
Definition
Annex 13 to the Chicago Convention establishes the international SARPs for the investigation of aircraft accidents and incidents. It defines the roles and responsibilities of the State of Occurrence, State of Registry, State of the Operator, State of Design, and State of Manufacture in the investigation process. The sole objective of an investigation under Annex 13 is the prevention of future accidents, not the apportionment of blame or liability.
