The National Transportation Safety Board will hold a 3-day public hearing on Colgan Air, Inc. Flight 3407, Bombardier DHC8-400, N200WQ beginning on Tuesday, May 12, 2009, at 9:00 a.m. The hearing will be open to the public and will take place in the Board Room and Conference Center at 429 L'Enfant Plaza, S.W., Washington, D.C. This hearing will also be telecast on the Board’s website, at http://www.ntsb.gov/Events/hearing_sched.htm.

The goal of the upcoming hearing is for the Safety Board to learn more about the Colgan Air, Inc. aviation accident.  The Board will invite expert witnesses to provide sworn testimony. Additionally, several organizations will be granted “party status” to the hearing so that they may question the witnesses directly. The witnesses and parties will represent a range of aviation-related communities and other officials who provide oversight.
