The National Transportation Safety Board has finished most of its on-scene work in the investigation of the deadly Nov. 1 Learjet 60 crash near Greenacres. Excavation of the impact site is still underway.
The agency said in a Sunday evening post on X that investigators have cleared several areas tied to the probe. Those include the Green Acres Mobile Home Community, Reading Truck, Silver Oaks Plaza, Value Store It Self Storage and John I. Leonard High School.
Investigators have recovered and identified many pieces of the aircraft. They include parts of both wings and engines, the flight deck, the vertical and horizontal stabilizers, the left elevator, sections of the ailerons and several flap track assemblies. Some components have been sent to NTSB laboratories in Washington, D.C., for further examination.
The NTSB is asking residents who find debris believed to be from the plane to leave it where it is. Anyone who has found wreckage should email witness@ntsb.gov to arrange recovery, and include a photo if possible. The agency said collecting all available wreckage is critical to determining the cause of the crash.
