What We Investigate
Aviation and airport fire investigations
We provide fire origin & cause investigations for a variety of aviation related equipment, aircraft, and airport ground support vehicles. Aviation fire investigations can be extremely challenging and require an advanced level of understanding, experience, and professionalism. Aircraft are constructed to be lightweight and by design must carry large quantities of fuel. This means that aircraft do not perform similarly to other types of land vehicles in a fire incident.
- Light piston aircraft
- Turboprop aircraft
- Jet aircraft
- Seaplanes
- Rotorcraft
- Pushback and aircraft tugs
- Ground power units (GPU)
Aviation Fire Origin & Cause
Complex systems require expert analysis
Aviation related fires are complicated by varied materials, fuels, electrical and hydraulic systems. Different types or uses of aircraft can have extremely varied systems, maintenance requirements, and materials. Aviation ground support equipment can be used for transporting fuels, deicing fluid, and other chemicals which can greatly complicate the process of a fire investigation. All these factors require an expert that is aware of not only the functions of the aircraft or equipment, but also the operational environment and maintenance requirements.
