The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is an independent federal agency mandated by Congress to investigate civil aviation accidents and significant transportation events across various modes of transportation. Their mission includes determining accident causes, issuing safety recommendations, conducting safety research, and providing support to family members and survivors.
As the appellate authority for aviation and mariner certificate enforcement actions, the NTSB plays a crucial role in enhancing transportation safety by preventing future occurrences through their investigations and safety recommendations. Additionally, they adjudicate appeals of civil penalty actions taken by the Federal Aviation Administration and offer information and assistance to those affected by accidents and events they investigate.
