Accident Investigation Bureau To Go Digital On Accident Reporting
The Accident Investigation Bureau Nigeria (AIB-N) said Nigeria is set to take the lead in digitalizing air accident reports and information through graphics, animated forms.
AIB Commissioner, Akin Olateru who revealed this at the stakeholders’ review of accidents reports in Abuja yesterday, said AIB-N will lead the world as plans are on top gear to simplify its air accidents information and report in a digitalized graphic form before the end of the year 2021.
He said the agency has gotten the approval of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) to digitalize the accident reporting system.
The bureau said the new system would address safety concerns and delays associated with churning out airline incidents related reports.
The bureau also said Saudi Arabia has indicated interest to partner with it to actualise the project.
AIB also disclosed plans to launch an aviation safety centre aimed at having a centralised reporting database that would be accessible to all stakeholders in the aviation industry.
Olateru said: “When you look at accident investigation, it is not a blame game. It is done in the interest of safety to enhance safety and find out what happened and the causal factor to see how we can prevent reoccurrence.
