National Transportation Safety Committee

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Transportation Safety Committee (NTSC) is an Indonesian government agency charged with the investigation of air, land, rail, and marine transportation safety deficiencies.

The NTSC was established by presidential decree in 1999. As a result of its investigations, the NTSC makes recommendations that are intended to prevent the recurrence of similar accidents.

The NTSC emphasizes that the sole objective of its activities is to prevent recurrence of accidents, not to assign blame or liability.

In 2000, shortly after its creation, the NTSC issued a report on the crash of SilkAir Flight 185, where 104 people were killed, for which it was unable to determine a cause.[1]
