Friday's update covered several topics, such as the flight history of the pilot and of the Sikorsky S-76B, the weather on that morning and the interaction with air traffic controllers. "These (updates) are usually a little bit of a road map of where the investigation is going to go," said CNN transportation expert Peter Goelz, a former managing director of the NTSB. "If there were concerns about the equipment or anything else, it would be mentioned. The NTSB update focused on the facts of the case, including photographs, but did not include analysis. The board will release a determination on the cause of the crash in its final report months from now.
