Can the decisions of the Board (findings, probable cause and recommendations) be appealed or challenged? Can a Safety Board investigation be reopened?
According to NTSB regulation 49 CFR 845.41, petitions for reconsideration or modification of the Board’s findings and determination of probable cause filed by a party to an investigation or hearing or other person having a direct interest in the accident investigation will be entertained only if based on the discovery of new evidence or on a showing that the Board’s findings are erroneous. Safety Board investigations don’t really ever close.
