Source-derived summary

The Civil Aviation Safety Board or the Civil Aviation Safety Bureau (CASB, Hungarian: Polgári Légiközlekedés Biztonsági Szervezet, POLÉBISZ or PoLéBiSz) was an agency of the government of Hungary. It served as the country's aviation accident investigation agency for four years, when it investigated over five hundred aircraft accidents and incidents. It had its headquarters at Building 13, Budapest Ferihegy International Airport Terminal 1 in Budapest.

The Minister for Economy and Transport created the agency that succeeded the CASB, the Transportation Safety Bureau, on 1 February 2006.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Civil Aviation Safety Bureau of Hungary” is organization. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Civil, Aviation and Safety, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewMost valuable as an event-and-institution map that identifies actors, dates and record creators for deeper historical inquiry. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2006—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. For this dossier, Civil, Aviation and Safety is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “organization” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The record creator and administrative purpose are central evidence, because official documentation reflects both action and institutional priorities. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 19, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q5124442. The first chronological checks are 2006.

Critical limits

Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Compare institutional narratives with records created by participants and affected communities. Dates and formal titles are useful anchors, but not substitutes for context.
