# 49 U.S.C. § 1112 - Special boards of inquiry on air transportation safety
|
||
|
||
## Text
|
||
|
||
(a) Establishment.— If an accident involves a substantial question about public safety in air transportation, the National Transportation Safety Board may establish a special board of inquiry composed of—
|
||
|
||
(1) one member of the Board acting as chairman; and
|
||
|
||
(2) 2 members representing the public, appointed by the President on notification of the establishment of the special board of inquiry.
|
||
|
||
(b) Qualifications and Conflicts of Interest.— The public members of a special board of inquiry must be qualified by training and experience to participate in the inquiry and may not have a pecuniary interest in an aviation enterprise involved in the accident to be investigated.
|
||
|
||
(c) Authority.— A special board of inquiry has the same authority that the Board has under this chapter.
