“…The aviation enterprises such as airlines, airplane manufacturers, airports, air traffic services, and safety regulatory authorities have been working together to make our flies safer. Among these aviation stakeholders, mentioned above, there are another ones, for example air accident investigators, that determine the causes and results of aviation accidents and incidents to prevent similar events in the future [9].…”

The authors explored the characteristics of current trends in the domestic legal support development for the aviation accidents investigation by conducting a comparative analysis of national and international legislation on the investigation of aviation accidents and incidents. The methodological basis of the study have been represented by general and special legal methods, including dialectical, comparative law and statistics, which studied the problems of implementation of international law in the national law of Ukraine, analyzed analytical indicators of the number of aviation events and incidents in recent years, and objective preconditions for reforming the domestic legal framework under the influence of international standards and recommended practices of the International Civil Aviation Organization have been identified. Based on the analysis of regulations, the legal status and scope of competence of the National Bureau for Investigation of Aviation Events have been determined, as well as the prospects for further research in this area and ways to improve the legal regulation of aviation accident investigation have been outlined. The materials of the article can be used by researchers, scientific-pedagogical staff, flight safety management and aviation safety specialists in terms of studying, implementing and improving the rules of investigation of aviation incidents and incidents.

“…ICAO (2003: IV-1-2) states that such a report should be structured logically, presented in a convenient and uniform manner, and written in clear and concise language. However, most of the empirical studies of aircraft accidents concentrated to a large extent on the technical aspects (Maria et al, 2021; Wang et al, 2023), safety and risk factors (Barroso and Muñoz-Marrón, 2023), air law (Balcerzak, 2017; Sorana and Mihai, 2016), and investigation methodology (Francis, 2020; Popov et al, 2017). Studies of the linguistic features of this techno-professional genre and their function and purpose are much overlooked.…”

Based on a corpus of ‘Aircraft Accident Reports’ (AARs) collected from the official website of The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), issued during the years 2000–2021, this study used Bhatia’s Critical Genre Analysis (CGA) framework to examine how this type of techno-professional discourse is recognized by considering the text, the genre, the professional practice, and the professional culture of the corpus. It was found that (1) textually, both Move2 collecting information, and Move3 Analyzing Information are the lengthiest moves within the corpus regarding the number of tokens, while Move1 Summarizing the Accident, Move4 Reaching Conclusion, Move5 Sharing Recommendations, and Move6 Board Member Statement are the shortest in length; (2) the generic move structure of the corpus contained six-move pattern (five of them are obligatory, and only one is optional), 11 steps, and 40 sub-steps; (3) the professional practice of the corpus is expressed through two types of discursive processes, they are: genre-mixing, and genre-embedding; and (4) the professional culture is presented through a set of professional values imbedded in the corpus, they are: embracing change and learn from mistakes, and maintaining objectivity and impartiality. The results of this study contribute in understanding the realization of professional discourse and expand the application of CGA in professional practices.

There is currently no research of the personality the violator of air traffic and air transport operations’ rules (Art. 263 of the CC of the RF) that is based on actual empirical data. Such a personality description will improve the effectiveness of investigating this type of crimes and will contribute to their prevention and the prevention of air traffic accidents in general. The authors of the article studied the materials of criminal cases, reports of the Interstate Aviation Committee on the results of investigating air accidents, and specialist literature, conducted a survey of pilots and candidates who want to study this specialty, analyzed biophysiological, social-demographic, social role and moral-psychological characteristics (traits, features, connections between them) typical of the subjects of crimes under consideration. The conducted research allowed the authors to establish that a typical violator of air traffic and air transport operations’ safety rules is a male with necessary training and sufficient professional experience, having a valid certificate of an aviation specialist who passed the examination by a medical-flight expert commission. Based on the social role and moral-psychological qualities, two types of subjects of the analyzed crimes are singled out: first, aviation specialists (mostly pilots) who generally observe the requirements and never violated safety rules earlier but who, due to a number of reasons, often psychological ones (high anxiety level, lower resistance to interference, unfocused attention, tiredness, etc.) could not cope with an emergency during a flight; second, aviation specialists who intentionally violate air traffic and air transport operations’ safety rules (specifically through neglecting rules, underestimation of danger, excessive self-confidence, excessive risk-taking, etc.) as they believe that publicly dangerous consequences of their actions (inaction) will not happen or could be prevented thanks to their «flying skills», professional experience (negligent guilt is in such cases manifested by carelessness or thoughtlessness, correspondingly).
