The National Transportation Safety Board has developed a five-day course in rotorcraft accident investigation that will be delivered at its training center near Washington in August. The course, which has been in development for more than a year, was designed to provide investigators from regulatory authorities, investigative agencies, private industry, and potential parties to an NTSB investigation, an overview of the procedures, methods and skills required to perform a comprehensive rotorcraft accident investigation.
The training will be offered August 16-20, 2010, at the NTSB Training Center in Ashburn, Virginia. Examples from recently concluded investigations will be used to illustrate particular aspects of the investigative process. Case studies may include midair collisions, in- flight fires, in-flight break-ups, and weather-related accidents.
Those interested in learning more should see the complete description of the training, registration information, and cost to attend at: www.ntsb.gov/TC/CourseInfo/AS102_2010.htm.
The NTSB Training Center provides courses that promote independent, objective, and technically advanced transportation accident investigations. More information about the Training Center is available at www.ntsb.gov/tc/TrainingCenter.htm
