ICAO Annex 13 covers what topic?

• A. International standards for aircraft accident and incident investigation.
• B. Airspace design standards.
• C. Aircraft performance data.
• D. Pilot licensing requirements.

Answer: (A)

ICAO Annex 13 deals with how aircraft accidents and serious incidents are investigated, using international standards and recommended practices to ensure consistency and safety improvements worldwide. It defines what counts as an accident or serious incident, who investigates (and under what authority), and how investigations should be conducted—independently, thoroughly, and with proper evidence handling. It covers the roles of the investigation authorities, cooperation between states, timelines, reporting requirements, and the publication of final reports and safety recommendations. The goal is clear: learn from each event to prevent recurrence and raise safety globally. This topic doesn’t address how airspace is designed, how aircraft performance data is handled, or pilot licensing requirements. Those areas are covered by other ICAO annexes and standards.
