ICAO Annex 13

ICAO Annex 13 is an international standard that governs the investigation of aircraft accidents and serious incidents. Its primary goal is to determine what happened, why it occurred, and how to prevent similar events in the future. The annex provides guidelines for collecting evidence, analyzing causes, and sharing findings while protecting sensitive information and respecting legal considerations. It ensures a consistent approach worldwide, helping improve aviation safety by learning from past incidents without assigning blame, ultimately making air travel safer for everyone.
