| 1510 – 1640 | Panel Discussion 2 – Lessons Learned from Accident and Incident Investigation Advances in Aviation Safety have come as a consequence of factors, one of which is the ability to investigate and identify the causation for accidents. The other factor is to integrate hazard identification risk assessment (HIRA) with the investigation process. This panel discusses the lessons learned from Aircraft Accident and incident investigations including the integration with the SMS HIRA process.
