Agencies

The Namibia Directorate of Civil Aviation is a regulatory body of the Ministry of Works, Transport and Communication.[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, Transport and Communication.[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.
