Presentation
The anatomy of an an NTSB Investigation

and longtime EAA Novato member Rick Beach. Rick is the Aviation
Safety Chair for the Cirrus Owners & Pilot’s Association (COPA) and
a Cirrus Aircraft expert.
lights and a dimmer circuit, along with a battery backup charging
module. It replaced a hand-wired board that wasn’t much to look
at. The schematic was done with ExpressSCH (Express Schematic)
in 2014.
Rick and COPA were invited by the NTSB to participate in the
investigation of a Cirrus fatal accident that occurred at nearby
Schellville Airport in Sonoma. Their position in this investigation as
Party Representatives allowed them to join the NTSB team to
review factual evidence, analyze information, and contribute
insights to the investigative team prior to issuance of the official
NTSB report. This will be Rick’s first public presentation on this
topic and is sure to be an informative night.
Come and learn how the NTSB conducts an investigation, what
happened… and what happens behind the scenes. Most
importantly- – how we can all learn from this accident and avoid
similar mistakes in piloting the aircraft we are so privileged to fly.
The old saying goes… “A smart man learns from his own mistakes,
but a wise man learns from the mistakes of others!”
We look forward to seeing you there!
