Namibia Civil Aviation Authority


The Namibia Civil Aviation Authority, formerly called the Directorate of Civil Aviation, is the civil aviation authority of Namibia. It is a regulatory body of the Ministry of Works and Transport. The head office of the agency is located in Windhoek.
It was previously in charge of aircraft accident and incident investigation in Namibia. As of November 2013 accident and incident investigation is separated from the NCAA to ensure that investigations are unbiased. Namibia's Chief Accident Investigator now reports directly to the Minister of Works, Transport and Communication.
On 1 November 2016, per the Civil Aviation Act, the name of the authority was changed from the Directorate of Civil Aviation to its present name.
