SCSI has assembled
several exhibits from all over the world to allow our students a
practical hands-on approach to investigation training. We
routinely set aside dedicated time within the
Aircraft Accident Investigation (AAI),
Helicopter Accident Investigation (HAI), Gas
Turbine Accident Investigation (GTAI), and Fire
and Explosion Investigation (FEI) courses for a practical application
in the Crash Lab
of techniques discussed in the classroom. For example, the AAI course has two full
days of crash laboratory investigations beginning with small, general
aviation aircraft and progressing in tasks to a complex military jet
trainer. Below are some illustrative pictures of the crash lab and
crash lab activities.
