The BEA ( Bureau d'enquêtes et d'analyses pour la sécurité de l'aviation civile , German investigation and analysis office for the safety of civil aviation ) is the French investigation authority for aircraft accidents and incidents established in 1946, similar to the German Federal Agency for Aircraft Accident Investigation . The headquarters are at Le Bourget Airport near Paris.
history
Its legal basis at EU level is based on Council Directive 94/56 / EC of November 21, 1994 on principles for the investigation of accidents and incidents in civil aviation , ICAO agreements and national laws. The task of the BEA is to objectively investigate aircraft accidents such as crashes and incidents such as near collisions from a technical point of view without influencing any legal investigations. The aim of the investigation is to clarify the circumstances that led to the disruption and, if necessary, to publish safety information in order to avoid future accidents.
The BEA is responsible for accidents on French territory (including overseas departments such as French Guiana or Martinique ) as well as for accidents abroad with French involvement. "French involvement" means the aircraft involved in the accident:
- is registered in France, or
- is designed or built in France (like Airbus , ATR , Dassault , Eurocopter ) or
- took off from a French airport
In the event of accidents involving French aircraft abroad, the BEA works closely with the relevant authorities in the respective country. According to its own information, the BEA conducts around 250 investigations into accidents and incidents in aviation on French territory every year. In addition, the BEA can take action if it is asked for support from abroad. After the crash of Ethiopian Airlines flight 302 , the Ethiopian authorities asked for assistance in evaluating the flight recorders that were brought to Paris for this purpose.
