Worlds longest grammar commas ive ever seen
editHere Although the NTSB and PCU manufacturer Parker-Hannifin had already determined that the PCU was properly working, and thus not the cause of the crash, a private and independent investigation into the crash for a civil lawsuit tried by jury in Los Angeles County Superior Court, which was not allowed to hear or consider the NTSB's and Parker-Hannifin's conclusions, decided that the crash was caused by a defective servo valve inside the PCU based on forensic findings from an electron microscope, which determined that minute defects within the PCU had caused the rudder hard-over and a subsequent uncontrollable flight and crash

jurisdiction
editThe state where the crash occurred usually has jurisdiction over accident investigation. In the event that it occurs in international waters, then the state of registration has jurisdiction. State of manufacture does not have any sway in this Guinness2702 (talk) 12:46, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- These days, the state of manufacture is entitled to an associated representative + advisers: https://www.icao.int/Newsroom/Pages/Aftermath-of-an-Aircraft-Accident-ICAOs-role-in-accident-investigation-.aspx. Although I suppose that might not be "jurisdiction" over the investigation itself per se, so I've updated the article. BalinKingOfMoria (talk) 14:23, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- I'd still assume that they "assisted the investigation" rather than "investigated" as is the norm, but since I don't know any better and can't say for sure, I'll just thank you for your improvement and move on. Guinness2702 (talk) 21:51, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
