Namibia Directorate of Civil Aviation

The Namibia Directorate of Civil Aviation (DCA) is the civil aviation authority of Namibia. It is a regulatory body of the Ministry of Works, Transport and Communication.[1] The head office of the Namibian Civil Aviation Authority is in Windhoek.[2]

It was previously in charge of aircraft accident and incident investigation in Namibia.[3] As of November 2013 accident and incident investigation is separated from the DCA to ensure investigations are unbiased. Namibia's Chief Accident Investigator now reports directly to the Minister of Works, Transport and Communication.[4]
