May aircraft wreckage be moved prior to the time the NTSB takes custody?
A
Yes, but only if moved by a federal, state, or local law enforcement officer.
B
Yes, but only to protect the wreckage from further damage.✓ Correct Answer
C
No, it may not be moved under any circumstances.
Explanation
49 CFR 830.10(b) allows wreckage to be disturbed before the NTSB takes custody only to remove persons injured or trapped, to protect the wreckage from further damage, or to protect the public from injury. It does not depend on who moves it, and it is not an absolute prohibition.
