The BEA (Bureau d’Enquêtes et d’Analyses pour la sécurité de l’aviation civile) is the French body responsible for technical investigations into civil aviation accidents or incidents and also acts in this capacity abroad.

 

 

The sole objective of the technical investigation is to collect and analyze useful information, to determine the circumstances and the certain or possible causes of the accident or incident and, if necessary, to make safety recommendations in order to prevent future accidents and incidents.
