The CAB's Bureau of Safety formed the nucleus of the NTSB, which was created in 1967 as an independent agency within the newly created U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). Congress expanded the Safety Board's authority to include accident investigation in four other modes: rail, highway, marine, and pipeline.
Is the NTSB part of the FAA?
The organization is unique – it is not part of any other government agency or administration. It is not part of the FAA nor the Department of Transportation (DOT). The NTSB's job is to determine the causes of accidents and safety issues in the transportation sector.
What needs to be reported to the NTSB?
The NTSB regulation CFR 830 requires that the operator of an aircraft provide notification of any “accident” and certain “incidents” to the NTSB immediately. An accident is where (1) a person on board suffers serious injury or loss of life or (2) where the aircraft suffers substantial damage.
