President Donald Trump designated Landsberg as the Board\u2019s\nVice Chairman Friday. Landsberg began a five-year appointment as a NTSB board\nmember Aug. 7, 2018, and on that same day began a two-year term as the NTSB\u2019s\nVice Chairman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been a privilege to work with staff, fellow Board\nmembers, and the public to improve our national transportation system,\u201d said\nLandsberg. \u201cUnfortunately, there is no shortage of safety opportunities and\nwe\u2019ll be looking at ways to apply some of the systemic approaches that have\nbeen used so successfully in aviation to some of the other modes. We\u2019re working\ntoward the goal of zero deaths in transportation, and until we can achieve that\ngoal, we\u2019re working to reduce the number of deaths and injuries that happen\nevery year in every mode of transportation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBruce brings a wealth of experience to the NTSB with his\nextensive general aviation safety background,\u201d said NTSB Chairman Robert\nSumwalt. \u201cWhile serving as vice chairman during the past two years, Bruce has\nprovided great assistance to me in my role as chairman. I\u2019m delighted that\nPresident Trump has allowed him to continue in that capacity for another three\nyears.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
