Emergence
Chicago Convention
In Articles 37 and 38 of the Chicago Convention , the member states of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), including Germany from 1956, undertake to implement directives for investigating aircraft accidents (Annex 13) as unchanged as possible into national law, which means that the aircraft accident investigation Act 1998 passed. As part of the harmonization, Section 5 of the Aviation Ordinance (LuftVO) was also changed.
European Law
The guidelines for setting up an investigation center for accidents and serious incidents were also laid down in Regulation 996/2010.
structure
The law, which consists of 30 paragraphs , is divided into six sections:
- scope of application
- organization
- examination
- Reports and their disclosure
- Investigation Chamber
- General rules
Accidents involving military aircraft
Accidents with military aircraft do not fall within the scope of the FlUUG. These are examined by the General Aviation Safety in the Bundeswehr.
