The Members of the National Transportation Safety Board meet in a public session, under the provisions of the Government in the Sunshine Act, generally held on Tuesdays to discuss and adopt major accident reports, special investigation reports, safety studies, and other Board products. The public and media are welcome to attend the meeting and listen to the proceedings, or they can view a webcast of the meeting. The discussion of certain legal decisions (Opinions and Orders) affecting airman and seaman licenses is closed to the public under Exemption 10 of the Sunshine Act. Detailed information from the docket is sometimes made available on the web site; in those cases it will be linked with the Board Meeting or Public Hearing schedule.

Notices of dates and agendas for Board Meetings are published in the Federal Register and on the NTSB's World Wide Web page at least one week before the meeting date. The date and agenda are subject to change on short notice, however, so please call 202-314-6100 to confirm. Synopses of final reports and any related press releases are generally available immediately following the meetings; published reports are usually available 4-6 weeks later; Opinions and Orders are usually available 2-4 weeks later.
