  What is the essence of the AIB.
  
  Aircraft Accident and investigation Bureau.Meaning those investigator should comprise of Pilots and Engineers experienced enough to conduct investigation when there is an incident or accident.
  
  The previous Commisions was a planner.big gamble and this commissioner is an accountant.How do we grow out Aviation industry when these kind are put in these position.
  
  When we do this the international community like FAA & EASA are monitoring and it affects our category.
  
  Haven't leaved in US for years with A&P all the investigators are seasoned pilots and engineers
  
  We have some many experienced retired pilots just engineers are few with international qualifications.
  
  One of the Engineers had bern part of the AIB and did a remarkable contribution to Klm incident in Accra.
  
  I read the report and it's amazing. Capt Fodzo and many others .Quietly resign this accountant in Aviation into another position and get an pilot or Aircraft Engineer.
  
  Great Ghanian engineers making great strides internationally.These Engineer should be roped in to advice the government the way forward.
  
  The government should pullour this new commissioner out and ask industrial person to take up the role its very disgraceful.
  
  These areas are not for politics you need an industrial person.Just like Gcaa and the new National Airline Committe.No single pilot or Engineer with them.What kind of Airline us this...

  The Essence of the Aircraft Accident and Investigation Bureau (AIB)
  By William Ankrah Bed — California, 6 hours ago
  
  The Aircraft Accident and Investigation Bureau (AIB) is a critical body tasked with ensuring the safety and integrity of our aviation sector. Its core responsibility is to investigate aircraft incidents and accidents objectively and thoroughly. For such a sensitive and technical mandate, it is essential that the Bureau be staffed and led by individuals with deep industry knowledge—specifically, seasoned pilots and experienced aircraft engineers.
  
  Unfortunately, the current leadership structure does not reflect this requirement. Previously, a planner was placed in charge. Now, an accountant has taken over as Commissioner. These are undoubtedly skilled professionals in their own fields, but they lack the technical and operational expertise vital for aviation accident investigations. Aviation is not a place for political appointments—it requires deep industry insight.
  
  In the United States, where I have lived for years and hold an A&P certification, all investigators in such roles are typically highly qualified pilots and engineers. Ghana also has an impressive pool of experienced professionals—retired pilots and engineers like Capt. Fordzo, Samifred, Samuel, and Moses—who have served with distinction. One of these engineers played a key role in the investigation of the KLM incident in Accra, and the report, which I read, was exemplary.
  
  The quiet resignation of experienced leaders like Capt. Fordzo in response to such political appointments is a grave loss. These individuals are not just capable—they are assets with international experience and reputations. Appointing an accountant to head such a technical bureau undermines both the safety standards of our aviation industry and our reputation with international regulatory bodies such as the FAA and EASA. It could even impact our air safety category.
  
  We must act. The government should quietly reassign the current commissioner and replace them with a qualified pilot or aircraft engineer who understands the intricacies of aviation operations. Similarly, committees such as those overseeing the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) and the new National Airline must include professionals with real aviation experience. Shockingly, no pilot or engineer sits on these critical panels.
  
  Ghana has produced world-class aviation professionals. It is time to put them to use—not to sideline them. Aviation safety is too critical to be politicized.
