Show detail Hide detail

Series consists of records created and/or maintained by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Division and its immediate successor, the Aviation Safety Investigation Division.

The series primarily consists of central registry files from the accident investigation files in the 5002 and 5004 blocks. The series also includes material related to 5002 central registry subject files but that was maintained separately by the Department, because the material was so extensive (usually owing to the notoriety of the incident.)

Finally, the series includes several collections of records that were compiled by the Division for reference purposes: chronological lists of aircraft accident investigations; compilations of accident summary reports by year; and a card index that allows one to quickly find basic information on an accident if one knows the exact date of the accident.

Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Canadian Air Transportation Administration. Aircraft Accident Investigation Division : As result of a major reorganization of the Department of Transport in 1960, the Aircraft Accident Investigation Division was established in the Civil Aviation Branch of Air Services. By 1974 this division was a part of the Civil Aeronautics Branch of the Canadian Air Transportation Administration (CATA). Responsibility for the aircraft accident investigation function was subsequently held by the Air Safety Branch of Transport Canada. In 1984 the Canadian Aviation Safety Board (CASB) was established as an independent agency covering the aviation mode of transportation and was responsible for aviation accidents and safety. In 1990 the activities of the CASB were absorbed into the newly created Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB).
