# Sworn and court-certified aviation expert

Expert opinions and accident investigation are the work of **AeroXpert Investigations**, a separate company in [AeroXpert Group](https://aeroxpert.group). This page remains in the AeroXpert Consulting sitemap so the route is clear. The mandate itself is not a consulting engagement.

Dr. Thomas M. Friesacher, MSc is a sworn and court-certified expert in aviation, flight training and aircraft accident investigation. He provides technical assessments and expert opinions for courts, counsel, insurers and authorities.

Objective. Independent. International.
