About this Presentation
The program will cover Textron Aviation’s involvement in NTSB and FAA accident and incident investigations, along with some accident case studies relating to Beech aircraft. We’ll cover:

• The purpose of air safety investigation
• Highlights of how an NTSB investigation works
• Heater related accidents
• Wiring related accidents

Viewers will be able to type in their questions to be answered during the event. We’ll explain how to do so at the beginning of the webinar.

Although this American Bonanza Society program is oriented toward pilots of Beech Bonanzas, Debonairs, Barons and Travel Airs, the discussion, techniques and procedures described are valuable to the pilot, mechanic and owner of any airplane.
