China has launched an investigation into the crash of a China Eastern Airlines jet that plunged rapidly from cruising altitude into a mountainside with 132 people on board.
There are international standards governing some parts of air crash investigations, but the practical management of them differs by country.China will lead the investigation because the crash occurred on its territory and the United States has the right to participate because the plane was designed and manufactured there.
Zheng Lie, chair of the aviation department at Australia's Swinburne University of Technology, said the high-level involvement signified the government was taking the situation seriously and would also help improve cooperation throughout China's extensive bureaucracy. Christopher Hart, a former NTSB head, said he believes it is important to have separate agencies because the factors behind accidents often include errors and ommissions by the regulator that may be less likely to be included in a final report written by the regulator.regional jet in 2010, did point out deficiencies in CAAC oversight.Under international standards, a preliminary report into an accident needs to be lodged with U.N. aviation agency ICAO within 30 days.
Anthony Brickhouse, an air safety expert at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, said he hoped CAAC produced a public 30-day report given the global interest. China is the world's biggest operator of 737-800s with more than 1,200 in service, so it could release any broader safety information involving the model more quickly, analysts said.In most countries, an accident report makes safety recommendations to the airline, regulator and manufacturer as appropriate but does not assign blame or call for punishment.
