Policies

The investigation and prosecution policy is contained in the Instruction for Criminal Investigation and Prosecution of Civil Aviation Occurrences [VA(N1] . Sentencing guidelines can be found in the Guideline for Criminal Proceedings in Aviation Legislation [VA(N2] . Finally, there is the ‘Instruction on enforcement of alcohol use in aviation [VA(N3] ’, which relates to imposition of a temporary prohibition to perform work and confiscation of licenses.
