I got a questions, does the NTSB get involved with a crash involving Airbus? In another country, but lets say it's a US based airline?
I'm trying to know if the NTSB would still investigate an Airbus crash in another country, if it was the Airbus aircraft was operating for a United States based airline. I know they would if it was a Boeing aircraft (Since it's american made)
They get involved, but generally air crash investigation is done by the country where the crash happened.
Example: SwissAir 111. A Swiss airline flying an American aircraft crashes in Canadian waters. The Transportation Safety Board (TSB)… Canada's transportation safety agency… Performed the the investigation.
The NTSB usually only gets involved in foreign accidents in cases where (a) it is a US registered aircraft, (b) it is a US manufactured aircraft, (c) it had US manufactured engines or flight control systems, or (d) when invited to investigate by a foreign government.
We usually don't get involved in other countries air crashes, unless it involves one of our aircraft. We do frequently send NTSB and/or FAA "observers".
The aircraft make doesn't matter… Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, whatever. In your scenario of a US registered airliner crashing in a foreign country, the actual crash investigation is done by the country's respective transportation safety agency. So TSB in Canada, JTSB in Japan, ETSC in Europe, etc. The NTSB may send advisors and representatives… Mostly for "support", but they usually do not do the actual investigative process. Also, the aircraft and engine manufacturers usually send officials in cases where flight control or engine issues were suspected as factors in the crash. So you might see Airbus and CFM reps at a crash site involving an Airbus, or Boeing and General Electric at a site involving Boeing. Sometimes the NTSB does help with foreign investigations… These are often at remote crash sites or in countries that lack a functional safety board. And sometimes the NTSB is formally asked to participate in another country's investigation.
