Incident Notification
On February 12, 2020, an aviation accident occurred in Colombia involving a Piper PA-31 aircraft. The Colombian government formally notified the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) regarding this event. As the accident took place within Colombian jurisdiction, the local authorities assumed primary responsibility for the investigation.
International Cooperation
In accordance with international aviation safety protocols, specifically ICAO Annex 13, the NTSB appointed a U.S. Accredited Representative. This individual was tasked with assisting the government of Colombia in its investigative efforts. The appointment reflects standard procedures for cross-border accident investigations where a foreign state is involved.
Data Management
The source material explicitly states that all investigative information related to this incident will be released exclusively by the government of Colombia. Consequently, the NTSB does not hold the authority to publish findings or data independently; instead, it relies on the Colombian authorities for the dissemination of official reports and conclusions.
