INVESTIGATIVE INTERVIEWING TRAINING COURSE
The FAA seeks an Investigative Interviewing course to equip employees with ethical, outcome-based interviewing tools. The training should use the P.E.A.C.E. Model—Plan and Preparation, Engage and Explain, Account–Clarification and Challenge, Closure, and Evaluation—to help employees obtain reliable, relevant information through open-ended questioning and fewer leading questions. Applications include Safety Hotline, Whistleblower, and Suspected Unapproved Parts investigations; certificate management and supplier audits; ODA/designee management inspections; Safety Management System assessments; and compliance/enforcement investigations. The PEACE model is described as the preferred, most ethical and transparent best-practice method for interviewing persons of interest, complainants, witnesses, and respondents. Interested parties should review all documents attached to the notice.
