April 12, 2012 - ALPA’s Accident Investigation Course (AI2) was held this week in Herndon, Va. Twenty-four pilot volunteers from 15 ALPA pilot groups, as well as representatives from NATCA and an airline safety department, learned about U.S., Canadian, and ICAO accident investigation procedures.

The air safety representatives who attended this week’s course were instructed by members of the Accident Investigation Board and the Human Factors and Training Group, as well as ALPA staff from the Engineering and Air Safety, Legal, and Communications departments. This course curriculum prepares pilots to serve as ALPA coordinators or investigative group members in an investigation for a member pilot group anywhere in the world.
