Q

Wing structures carry some of the heavier loads found in the aircraft structure. The particular design of a wing depends on many factors, such as

A

the size, weight, speed, rate of climb, and use of the aircraft.

the accidents are a conclusion of a series of events or circumstances. There is a sequential interaction of events where the one leads to the next one.
Simple Linear
26
it assumes that the accidents are the result of a combination of latent hazards and unsafe acts which continue to happen in a sequential way.
Complex Linear
27
accidents are the results of a combination of mutually interacting variables occurring in real world environments. Understanding of these interactions through careful analysis is the only way to understand and prevent accidents.

This is the most important and determined thing to collect information and evidences that become the cause of the accident. The evidences will be an accurate data and information then it will be used for prevent the same way accident
AIRCRAFT ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION
37
WHY DO WE INVESTIGATE? (1)
Identify Hazards (accident causal factors) and provide recommendations that will prevent occurrence or recurrence.
38
WHY DO WE INVESTIGATE? (2)
Identify other hazards that increased the level of injury/damage, but were not accident cause factors
39
The Investigation conducted in accordance with the provisions of this Regulation (PCAR Part 13) shall _______
not apportion blame or liability and it shall remain separate from any administrative or judicial proceedings that may apportion blame or liability.
40
The accident investigation authority shall have ______ of the investigation and have _______ consistent with the provisions of this Part.
independence in the conduct,, unrestricted authority over its conduct,
41
PURPOSE OF INVESTIGATION 1 and 2
1. the gathering, recording and analysis of all relevant information on the accident or incident; 2. the protection of certain accident and incident investigation records in accordance with Part 13.220;

PURPOSE OF INVESTIGATION3 and 4
3. if possible, the determination of the causes and/or contributing factors; and 4. the completion of the Final Report.
