Myanmar Transport Safety Branch (MTSB)
Overview of Myanmar Transport Safety Branch (MTSB)
The Myanmar Transport Safety Branch (MTSB) is an independent investigation authority which is responsible for the investigation of air, marine and rail transport accidents and incidents in Myanmar. The Head Office is situated in Office Building No. (5), Ministry of Transport and Communications, Nay Pyi Taw, Myanmar. Its site office is located on the First floor of Three-storeyed Building, Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) compound, Mingaladon Township, Yangon. The MTSB is governed by an Assistant Secretary and is entirely separate from transport regulators and policymakers and service providers. Its mission is to promote transport safety through the conduct of independent investigations into air, marine and rail accidents and incidents.
Investigation Process
When carrying out its safety investigations, the MTSB will:
- Gather, record and analyse all available information related to the accidents and incidents.
- Determine the causes and/ or contributing factors.
- Identify possible safety issues.
- Make safety recommendations to address the safety issues.
- Produce an investigation report.
Aircraft Accident Investigation
Aircraft Accident Investigation is one of the responsibilities of the MTSB. The key functions for the aircraft accident and incident investigation are:
- To conduct investigation of aircraft accidents and serious incidents as required by the regulation. (Myanmar Aircraft Act, Myanmar Aircraft Accident and Incident Investigation Rules and Annex-13 to the Chicago Convention)
- To conduct independent and objective investigation of accidents and incidents in accordance with the Union of Myanmar Aircraft Act and Myanmar Aircraft Accident and Incident Investigation Rules, and international best practices
- To promote aviation safety through the investigation of accidents and incidents and the identification of safety deficiencies so that accidents may be avoided in future
- To educate the industry and the public on ICAO's philosophy of investigation
- To maintain the confidence of the aviation industry and the public in aviation safety through the investigation of accident and incidents
Investigation of accidents and incidents
The MTSB investigates aircraft accidents pursuant to Article 26 of the Chicago Convention. While Article 26 of the Chicago Convention refers to investigation of accident, Annex 13 goes beyond investigation of accidents and prescribes Standards and Recommended Practices for the investigation of incidents as well, in particular, serious incidents. Thus, the MTSB also investigate serious incidents as recommended by Annex 13 and, where the safety lessons to be drawn, incidents that are not classified as serious incidents. Note: There may be instances where it is not clear-cut as to whether an incident should be classified as a serious incident. Even if such incidents are not classified as serious incidents and if they are likely to offer safety lessons, the MTSB initiates an investigation.
Vision
The sole objective of the investigation of an accident or incident shall be the prevention of accidents and incidents. It is not the purpose of this activity to apportion blame or liability.
