The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is the independent agency of the
United States Government responsible for the investigation of transportation accidents.
The NTSB participates in the investigation of aviation accidents and serious incidents
outside the United States in accordance with the Chicago Convention of the International
Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPS)
provide in Annex 13 to the Convention.
If an accident or serious incident occurs in a foreign state involving a civil aircraft
of U.S. Registry, a U.S. operator, or an aircraft of U.S. design or U.S. manufacture,
where the foreign state is a signator to the ICAO Convention, that state is responsible
for the investigation. In accord with the ICAO Annex 13 SARPS, upon receipt of a
formal notification of the accident or serious incident that may involve significant
issues, the NTSB may designate a U.S. Accredited Representative and appoint advisors
to carry out the Obligations, receive the Entitlements, provide Consultation, and
receive Safety Recommendations from the state of occurrence.
If an accident or serious incident occurs in a foreign state not bound by the provisions
of Annex 13 to the ICAO Convention, or if a foreign state delegates all or part
of an investigation by mutual consent to the NTSB, or if the accident or serious
incident involves a public aircraft, the conduct of the investigation shall be in
consonance with any agreement entered into between and the United States and the
foreign state.
