The National Agency for the Safety of Flight (Italian: Agenzia Nazionale per la Sicurezza del Volo) is the Italian aviation accident investigation agency. The ANSV is headquartered in Rome.[1] The italian Prime Minister oversees the agency.[2]

It was established by legislative decree No. 66, 25 February 1999. Prior to the establishment of the ANSV, there would be two different investigations for each aviation accident or incident, one by the airport director and another more formal and technical investigation by an ad hoc committee appointed by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport. After its establishment, only one investigation is made.[3]

Per garantire la suddetta posizione di terzietà, l'ANSV è stata posta sotto la vigilanza della Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri. Si tratta quindi dell'unica istituzione aeronautica che non è sottoposta alla vigilanza del Ministero delle infrastrutture e dei trasporti. [English: To guarantee the aforementioned third party position, ANSV was placed under the supervision of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers. It is therefore the only aeronautical institution that is not subject to the supervision of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport.]
