| The AAIB shall operate autonomously and independently from public authorities and shall in its investigations be independent of other investigating parties, a prosecuting authority, and courts. |
| The report shall detail the cause or probable cause of the aircraft accident as well as provide recommendations for safety measures that may be taken to avoid further accidents due to the same or similar causes or to reduce their consequences. |
| Under special circumstances, the AAIB is authorised to issue a statement on the conclusion of an investigation or to complete an investigation of a case with the statement of an opinion instead of issuing a report. |
