NTSB Issues Update On Comair Crash

Late last week the NTSB said its investigation of Comair Flight 5191 continues to make progress. The board will not hold a public hearing on this investigation, but the public docket is expected to open in January. According to the NTSB, the docket will contain the cockpit voice recorder transcript, flight data recorder information and the other group factual reports, including interviews. A public safety board meeting will be held late spring or early summer, at which time the NTSB will consider a final report on the investigation and will include the determination of the probable cause and potential safety recommendations.
