Air Accidents Investigation Institute (AAII, , ÃÂZPLN) is the Czech Republic government agency investigating aviation accidents and incidents. It is headquartered in Letà Âany, 18th district, Prague.
On 14 October 2002, the Czech government passed resolution no.1006, which approved the statutes of the AAII and appointed Pavel à  trà ¯bl as the agency's first managing director. The AAII began on 1 January 2003. Formerly the Civil Aviation Authority had the accident investigation competencies of the current AAII.

In July 2006, was renamed ("odborné" instead of "odbornàtechnické") to its current Czech name. The organization has had the same English name, since its inception.
