The NTSB plays a vital role in ensuring aviation safety through thorough investigations. AFA is a party to the investigation. Party status allows relevant organizations to help facilitate the gathering of information pertinent to the investigation. The NTSB’s YouTube channel provides updates on ongoing investigations. The NTSB report timeline estimates an initial report in 60 to 90 days and a final report in 12 to 18 months following an accident.
