STATEMENT FROM NTSB CHAIRMAN DEBORAH A.P.HERSMAN
ON LETTER TO PINNACLE AIRLINES CORP.
*
************************************************** **********
*
Two weeks ago, we were disappointed to learn of internal
documents released by Pinnacle Airlines Corp., parent
company of Colgan Air, that were not provided to the NTSB
during the course of our investigation into the February 12,
2009, crash of Colgan Air Flight 3407.* The NTSB
investigation began immediately after the crash and
concluded with a public meeting on February 2, 2010.
*
Today, in a letter to Pinnacle Airlines Corp., the NTSB
requested that the company make available any and all
information regarding the training and technical
qualifications of the Captain and First Officer on-board
Flight 3407.
*
While the content of the newly released email exchanges
appears to be consistent with information our investigators
learned through other means during the course of the
investigation, it is critical that the factual record of
this accident be complete.* The previously undisclosed
documents do not appear to give reason for reconsideration
of the NTSB's final report and probable cause determination.
