Examination tasks at the scene of an accident are especially demanding where aircraft accidents are concerned, as multiple goals must be met (estimation of the situation, identification of victims, search for causes, etc.) The following steps should be conducted in a criminalistic-technical examination of the scene of an aircraft accident: identification and examination of the accident, sketching the scene, recording the state of affairs, initial proceedings in the criminal identification of dead bodies, transfer of dead bodies to the morgue, and survey of the scene of the accident. The success of immediate and later examination tasks depends largely on the state of the accident scene being correctly recorded. Marking dead bodies, objects, and traces consists of writing on tablets which have for faster recognition literal markations, i.e., letter 'D' -- dead body, letter 'O' -- object. The possibility of criminal identification by searching microtraces on the victim, personal objects, and luggage; by fingerprints; and other methods are also important.
