Abstract

Concerning the legal response to accidents in a large-scale system, how to balance the appropriate measures for the investigation for fact fiding and the legal sanctions is the point at issue. In this article, we discuss the legal system of aviation accident investigation in France, and investigate the duties and competence, institutions, the number of investigation, staffs, the process of investigation of BEA, GTA, and DGAC. BEA has the investigation system with expertise from various secotrs. GTA has the special police organization of aviation accidents, and cooperate in the investigation, for example, on the exchange of evidence with BTA. Through comparative analysis of Japan, the United States, and France, we analyze the options of legal systems for aviation accidents, and present the example of views to choose them.
