NTSB OFFERING ROTORCRAFT ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION COURSE AT

TRAINING CENTER NEAR WASHINGTON

************************************************************

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:

The NTSB Training Center provides courses that promote

independent, objective, and technically advanced

transportation accident investigations. More information
