Will Also Vote On The Board's "Most Wanted List" Process

The National Transportation Safety Board will hold a Board meeting to consider a final report on a 2008 plane crash in Owatonna, Minnesota. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, March, 15, 2011, at 0930 EST, in the NTSB Board Room and Conference Center in Washington, D.C. The Board will also deliberate on a Board Order addressing the NTSB Most Wanted List.

On July 31, 2008, East Coast Jets flight 81, a Hawker Beechcraft 125-800A, crashed while attempting a go-around after landing on runway 30 at Owatonna Degner Regional Airport, Owatonna, Minnesota. The nonscheduled domestic flight crashed, killing the two pilots and six passengers.

A summary of the Board's final report, which will include findings, probable cause and safety recommendations, will appear on the website shortly after the conclusion of the meeting. The entire report will appear on the website several weeks later.

In the second agenda item, the Board will consider a proposal to use a written notation process to approve the annual Most Wanted List of Safety Improvements, rather than deliberate the contents of the list during a meeting of the Board.
