In New Zealand, the Transport Accident Investigation Commission (TAIC) is responsible for the investigation of air accidents.[79] "The Commission's purpose, as set out in its Act, is to determine the circumstances and causes of aviation, rail and maritime accidents, and incidents, with a view to avoiding similar occurrences in the future, rather than to ascribe blame to any person."[80] The TAeC will investigate with accordance with annex 13 of the ICAO.[81]
