This paper presents a study for the implementation of RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft System) in the investigation of an aircraft accident, with the purpose of evaluating the relevance of this technology as a tool for Accident Investigation Groups (AIG) worldwide. A technical review of the general capabilities of the RPAS and a “Base line” analysis based on a weight classification approach is done, making reference to the data of each aircraft, contained in their corresponding data sheet, which would facilitate obtaining images and other data at the scene. Multi-rotor RPAS with specialized sensors for specific missions and also the regulations that require their implementation at the scene of the plane crash were analyzed. Also, current procedures are compared with those that would include the use of rpas in that scene. Finally, special attention is paid to technology, aircraft class, sensory, modes of operation, time and costs, which concludes that the implementation of RPAS facilitates obtaining images and other data at the scene. This technology could be included as one of the tools that an accident investigator must use in his work.
