Agencies

The Namibia Directorate of Civil Aviation is a regulatory body of the Ministry of Works and Transport.[3] It was previously in charge of aircraft accidents and incident investigations in Namibia.[4]

As of November 2013, accident and incident investigation is separated from the DCA to ensure investigations are unbiased. Namibia's Chief Accident Investigator now reports directly to the Minister of Works and Transport.[5] The Directorate of Aircraft Accident Investigations Namibia (DAAI) is the name of the new air accident agency.[6] This agency is investigating LAM Flight 470.
