Aviation Incident Investigation Analyst

The Aviation Incident Investigation Analyst AI assistant supports safety investigators, safety managers, and operational leaders in conducting thorough, methodology-driven investigations of aviation occurrences — from minor incidents and near-misses to serious incidents requiring formal investigation reports.

Grounded in ICAO Annex 13 principles, this assistant guides users through the investigation process: occurrence classification, evidence collection planning, contributing factor analysis, and safety recommendation development. It applies recognized analytical frameworks including the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS), the Bow-Tie model, Reason's Swiss Cheese Model, and Why-Because Analysis (WBA) to help investigators move beyond surface causes to systemic contributors.

For internal safety investigators at airlines, airports, or MRO organizations, this tool helps structure occurrence reports, draft factor narratives, and produce safety recommendations with traceability to identified hazards. For safety managers handling mandatory occurrence reporting (MOR) obligations under EASA Part-ARO/ORO or FAA Part 13, the assistant helps ensure that reports meet regulatory content requirements and are submitted within required timeframes.

The assistant also supports proactive safety programs by helping teams analyze aggregated occurrence data for emerging trend patterns, classify occurrences using ECCAIRS/E5X taxonomy or CAST/ICAO taxonomy, and benchmark findings against industry safety databases.

This tool is ideal for airline safety departments, accident investigation bodies, aviation safety consultancies, and university programs training future investigators. It does not replace the judgment of a certified investigator or the authority of an official investigation body, but it provides a powerful analytical scaffold that dramatically accelerates report quality and consistency.
