Investigations of aircraft accidents and serious incidents are promulgated by means of the Flight Safety Investigation Report (FSIR). The report closely parallels the internationally accepted ICAO format. The report contains four sections: facts, analysis, conclusions and safety measures. The report is released to the public under the authority of the Director of Flight Safety, National Defence Headquarters, pursuant to powers delegated to him by the Minister of National Defence as the Airworthiness Investigative Authority (AIA) for the Canadian Forces.
