Canadian Aviation Safety Board
The Canadian Aviation Safety Board (CASB, German Canadian Aviation Safety Authority ) was a Canadian Aviation Safety Agency .
history
Civil aviation in Canada has been regulated by the authorities since 1923, initially under the umbrella of the Ministry of Defense, then from 1936 by the Ministry of Transport.
In 1960, the predecessor Aircraft Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) was founded to investigate aircraft accidents. It was under the leadership of the Ministry of Transport.
In 1979, a commission of inquiry ( Dubin Commission ) was set up to review flight safety issues. As a result, in 1984, following the example of the National Transportation Safety Board of the USA, the tasks of the AAIB were transferred to the CASB as an agency independent of a ministry and were newly established. The CASB had three board members and, in addition to the accident investigation, was commissioned to submit recommendations for improving safety in air traffic, which, however, were not binding. It reported to parliament.
The CASB was dissolved by the Canadian government in 1990 as part of the Canadian Transportation Accident Investigation and Safety Board Act and its tasks were transferred to the intermodal Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB; German Canadian Traffic Safety Authority ).
