Judicial Authorities

Judicial Authorities

The term in this page includes the parties concerned in investigations of judicial authorities.

These are:

  • State Prosecutors
  • Judges
  • Investigating or supporting Law Enforcement Agencies
  • Investigating Courts Experts/Surveyors
  • Courts Experts/Surveyors in court hearings

Aviation Experts investigate, advise or explain technical terms, processes and operations to support these investigations initiated by prosecutors in criminal cases or by plaintiffs or judges in a civil case. Many of these investigations are conducted by court surveyors on behalf of the prosecutor, judge or plaintiff.

ASOA.aero specialists are sworn court surveyors, able to support also in international cases and to train future or active surveyors. Contact ASOA.aero to find out more about how we can support you.

State Prosecution

1. Judicial Investigation to find a guilty party following an occurrence (accident, incident) or

2. Investigation of an act of criminal offense (sabotage, terrorism, murder, fellony, etc)

These investigations often need Aviation Experts to investigate, analyze, advise the State Prosecutors or the Judges at Court in professional/technical questions related to Aviation.

The ASOA.aero network of Aviation Experts is able to support judicial investigations by providing profound knowledge and experience of allmost every field of Aviation, and to perform parts of an investigation.

Another concern is the training of Aviation Experts.

We are looking forward to give you advise or support to your specific request.

Safety/Accident Investigation


Safety Investigation/Accident Investigation nowadays is not only a very important source of information for corrective action after “Something-had-happened”. Safety/Accident Investigation Branches (SIB/AIB) provide this information by publishing Safety Recommendations to/in their Investigation Reports, if appropriate.

Today the even more important role of these Investigation Reports – or the event data of occurrence reporting systems and reporting systems of the organizations´ SMS (voluntary reporting) – is the publication and dissemination of safety relevant data that can be used for the Aviation Stakeholders´ Safety Management/Risk Management. Data from Investigation Reports are, among Flight Data Monitoring and organizational internal investigations of Safety Relevant Events (SRE), a major source of safety data.

As long as there is no global Safety Reporting System for both mandatory and voluntary reports, Aviation Stakeholders have to collect useful data from many different sources (Reports, SRE Investigations, iStars, European Central Repository ECR, Skybrary, NASA, etc).

ASOA.aero is able to provide SIBs/AIBs with the following:

  1. Analysis of the Structure and Organization of the State Safety/Accident Investigation Branch
  2. Pre-audits to National or ICAO (USOAP) audits
  3. Support to Safety/Accident Investigations
  4. Training of Accident Investigators
