This book highlights aspects of Aviation Accident Pathology for doctors involved in the investigation of fatal aircraft accidents. A determination of the cause of the accident requires investigations of both the machine and the bodies that are found in the wreckage. In many developing countries, however, the doctors who are assigned this task are not trained to perform such autopsies. They are, therefore, confronted with problems such as 'how do we proceed' and 'what should we look for'. This book provides clear guidelines regarding the practical aspects of such investigations. It begins with a historic overview of the development of Aviation Accident Pathology and then identifies the administrative and forensic requirements that can facilitate accident investigations. A specific plan of investigation that includes details about the preparations that must be made prior to the arrival at the accident site, tasks that need to be performed at the site and the procedures for the collection and analysis of evidence and specimens is provided.
