AV 6340 - Aircraft Accident Investigation and Analysis

3 credits

Since the Wright Brothers first controlled, sustained, powered, heavier-than-air flight, and subsequent crash, analysis of why it happened has been a part of aviation. No safety minded aviation professional is unaware of the risks in aviation, and the lessons to be learned from accidents. This course will give a broad overview of the investigation process, not make accident investigators of the students. Using the actual text of the premier safety investigation courses, students will learn the techniques investigators use to discover how and why accidents occur.
