This document outlines the procedures for reporting and investigating aircraft accidents in Ireland. An accident is defined as any event that endangers aviation safety, causing significant damage to the aircraft or serious harm to individuals. It is the responsibility of the pilot, owner, or hirer to promptly notify the Department of Transport, Energy & Communications (DTEC) and the Gardai. Access to the aircraft at the accident scene is restricted to authorized personnel, and specific regulations must be followed, especially concerning the removal of goods and engagement of rescue operations.
