When an accident, incident, or operational event occurs, your organization needs more than a recap of what happened. You need an impartial, evidence-based analysis that explains how the event developed, identifies the conditions that shaped decisions and performance, and turns lessons learned into practical risk controls.
TACG provides independent analysis of aviation accidents, incidents, near misses, and other safety events. As a neutral third party, we help organizations look beyond the immediate outcome to understand the technical, human, organizational, and systemic factors that contributed to the event.
Our approach is confidential, disciplined, and focused on learning—not blame. We provide clear findings and practical recommendations that support informed leadership decisions, strengthen your Safety Management System (SMS), and reduce the likelihood of recurrence.
When an Independent Review Adds Value
- A serious accident, incident, or high-potential near miss requires an objective review.
- Internal investigations have reached conflicting or inconclusive findings.
- Leadership, regulators, insurers, legal counsel, or other stakeholders need an independent perspective.
- The organization wants to identify deeper system, culture, or human factors issues.
- Corrective actions have been implemented, but confidence in their effectiveness is limited.
- A confidential review is needed to support organizational learning and continuous improvement.
What TACG Reviews
- Event chronology, available evidence, records, and prior investigative work
- Operational procedures, policies, manuals, and regulatory requirements
- Human performance, decision-making, communication, workload, fatigue, and supervision
- Training, qualification, competency, and procedural adherence
- Organizational influences, safety culture, resource allocation, and competing priorities
- Hazard identification, risk controls, reporting processes, and SMS performance
- Corrective and preventive actions already proposed or completed
Our Independent Analysis Process
Discovery and scope. We clarify the event, objectives, stakeholders, available evidence, legal or regulatory considerations, timeline, and deliverables.
Evidence review. TACG examines relevant documentation, data, records, reports, procedures, and other available material.
Interviews and operational context. When included in the scope, we conduct structured discussions with personnel and evaluate how work is actually performed.
Integrated analysis. We assess active failures and latent conditions across technical, human, organizational, and SMS dimensions.
Findings and recommendations. We distinguish evidence from assumptions, identify contributing factors, and develop prioritized, practical actions.
Leadership debrief and support. We present the results, answer questions, and can assist with corrective-action planning and follow-up.
