tasks

According to ZDv 44/30 "The prevention of accidents with aircraft and aviation equipment of the Bundeswehr" "the General Aviation Safety in the Bundeswehr (GenFlSichhBw) is cross-divisional with the performance of the specialist task of aviation safety as well as for fundamental matters and technical control of the measures to ensure aviation safety in the Bundeswehr commissioned ".

Regulations

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Annex 13, the Aviation Act (LuftVG) and, since 1998, the Act on the Investigation of Accidents and Disruptions in the Operation of Civil Aircraft (FlUUG) regulate the investigation of aircraft accidents; various Central Service Regulations (ZDV) follow.

history

In the early years of the Bundeswehr there was only one office for flight safety (since May 1, 1956) and from 1 June 1958 a stage manager for flight safety and accident prevention as a separate department, the flight safety department in the Bundeswehr (AbtF1SichhBw) was created in 1957 .

In the event of air accidents on the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Federal Minister of Transport (BMV) is responsible according to Art. 87d GG. Section 30 of the Aviation Act contains the regulations for the armed forces. On September 14, 1999, the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Transport signed a departmental agreement to implement Section 1 (3) of the Aircraft Accident Investigation Act. Accordingly, the department designated by the Ministry of Defense is responsible for investigating accidents or malfunctions in which only military aircraft are involved. The Ministry of Defense has assigned this task to the Bundeswehr General Aviation Safety.

If both civil and military aircraft are involved in an accident or disruption, the Bundeswehr Aviation Safety General is at least involved (Section 5, departmental agreement). In the case of predominantly military matters, the General Aviation Safety can take the lead in the investigation. The departmental agreement for all military aircraft is independent of whether they are registered in the Federal Republic of Germany, a NATO partner country or a third country.

Other tasks include flight safety inspections and information visits to all units of the Bundeswehr with military flight operations as well as training units. Furthermore, the review and monitoring of flight safety rules and regulations, as well as the issuance and amendment of instructions and regulations for safety in flight operations. Another core task is the investigation of accidents and incidents in the event of all incidents involving military aircraft in the Federal Republic of Germany and aircraft of the Bundeswehr abroad.

The department maintains a flight safety database for evaluating and processing accidents and incidents involving Bundeswehr aircraft, as well as a flight recorder evaluation station and an error reporting system.
