Purpose.

The purpose of the recommendations in this manual is threefold:

(a) To assist the investigating team on all matters relating to fire and explosion;

(b) To assess the effectiveness of the airborne fire detecting and extinguishing systems and crew effectiveness, and the rescue and fire fighting services effectiveness (post-crash);

(c) To provide data in standard format for study and analysis which, hopefully, will contribute to accident prevention and the saving of lives in future aircraft accidents involving fire.
