The goal of the upcoming hearing is for the Safety Board to learn more about the Colgan Air, Inc. aviation accident.  The Board will invite expert witnesses to provide sworn testimony. Additionally, several organizations will be granted “party status” to the hearing so that they may question the witnesses directly. The witnesses and parties will represent a range of aviation-related communities and other officials who provide oversight.
