In accordance with the Civil Aviation Act, Cap.174, 1976, the Minister responsible for Civil Aviation may make regulations providing for the investigation of any accidents or incidents arising out of or in the course of air navigation, and either occurring in or over Fiji or occurring elsewhere to aircraft registered in Fiji or occurring to an aircraft not registered in Fiji but operated by an operator domiciled in Fiji.

Annex 13 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation states that the sole objective of any aircraft accident investigation and its final report is to prevent future accidents and incidents.  Therefore the purpose of an aircraft accident investigation is not to apportion blame or liability but to identify lessons for the prevention of future accidents.
