SCSI introduces
a new Course: Fixed Wing Accident Investigation and Reporting
(FWIR)
This one week
course is for individuals who will conduct fixed wing aircraft
accident investigations, either as a primary investigator, a group
leader, or as a party to the investigation. The course assumes the
participant will have taken at least a basic aircraft accident
investigation course from a recognized source or has participated in
sufficient accident/incident investigations to assure understanding
of investigation procedure and techniques. (Basic investigation
procedures and techniques will not be taught in this course.)
This course will be particularly helpful to those who would like
additional training in writing skills with emphasis on accident
investigation report writing.

personnel. The main SCSI numbers remain unchanged:

E-mail
communications with SCSI
As many of you are
aware, there has been a dramatic increase in SPAM and viruses
associated with the internet and emails. As a result, many
internet servers are using anti-spam programs and users have installed
anti-virus programs, firewalls, anti-spyware programs, and anti-spam
programs. These programs filter out emails--sometimes
incorrectly.
SCSI normally answers
emails on the day received if received within normal working hours.
Otherwise, we normally respond within 24 hours of receipt during
workdays and on Monday for emails received over the weekend. We also
check emails while on travel and on vacation. If you send an
email to SCSI and it does not get answered promptly, there is a chance
that it has been filtered out by some of the programs and firewalls
mentioned especially if it has an attachment. If you don't hear
back from SCSI promptly, please resend your email with a "proof of
delivery" attached so you can be sure it has reached us. Every
communication we receive from you is important to us. Please
help us to be responsive to you by making sure we have received your
email to us.
