Accident Investigation and Research Inc.
AIR is one of the world's most respected aviation consulting companies specializing in accident investigation and reconstruction.
AIR's principals have participated in thousands of investigations and inquiries. They have resolved some of the most serious and puzzling international incidents for the United Nations, national governments, airlines, aircraft manufactures and individual clients.
Total accident reconstruction
AIR has unique experience in post-accident reconstruction of major aviation, industrial and transportation accidents and incidents. AIR has established new standards for investigation, analysis, technical reporting and resource materials for litigation, arbitration, claim settlements and safety actions.
The company's interdisciplinary skills are a major asset in any inquiry. AIR's principals have the knowledge and experience to cover all the key requirements in aeronautical, electrical, materials, mechanical, metallurgical and computer engineering. They also have particular strengths in operational and human factors involvement.
Failure Analysis and Product Liability
AIR offers a complete range of litigation support services, including aviation product-liability and component-failure analysis, aviation safety-defect analysis, and quality-control problem definition and evaluation.
These services are available directly through AIR, and through its sister company FAIR: Failure Analysis Investigation and Research.
The man the machine and the environment
AIR's understanding of the complex interplay of man, the machine and environment in accident causation is perhaps the most complete in the field. Incidents, failures and accidents can and do happen because of any one - or more likely any combination - of these factors.
