NTSB Requests Additional Documents From Pinnacle

Hersman Asks For All Information Relating To Colgan 3407 Be Made Available

In a statement released to the media Thursday, NTSB Chair Deborah Hersman (pictured) said the board was disappointed to learn two weeks ago about internal documents released by Pinnacle Airlines Corp., parent company of Colgan Air, that were not provided to the NTSB during the course of the investigation into the February 12, 2009, crash of Colgan Air Flight 3407. The NTSB investigation began immediately after the accident and concluded with a public meeting on February 2, 2010.

The board has sent a letter to Pinnacle Airlines Corp., requesting 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," Hersman wrote. "The previously undisclosed documents do not appear to give reason for reconsideration of the NTSB's final report and probable cause determination."
