What is the NTSB or National Transportation Safety Board?

 

A:

The NTSB or National Transportation Safety Board is an independent federal agency with the duty of investigating civil, governmental and military aviation accidents throughout the United States.  This duty also includes trains accidents as well as other accidents involving tractor trailers and consumers vehicles. 

After an investigation is complete, the NTSB issues safety recommendations in hopes of preventing future similar accidents.  The NTSB maintains the United States government's database of all civil, governmental and military aviation accidents.  In addition to it's duties in the aviation field, the NTSB conducts special studies concerning transportation safety issues that may affect the Nation as a whole. 

When an overseas aviation accident involves a U.S. - registered aircraft and/or the aircraft or its major components were manufactured in the U.S., the NTSB also provides investigators to serve as U.S. representative when  requested to do so by a foreign government.
