NTSB Reports
Does anyone have any idea how one would go about getting a NTSB incident report corrected? (Wrong name of operator is in report)

Re: NTSB Reports
Good luck. When I pointed out to the chief investigator that her NTSB report blamed a misplaced O-ring for preventing fuel flow that resulted in a fatality...(the misplaced O-ring would not PREVENT fuel flow....it would prevent fuel SHUTOFF).... She was completely disinterested and told me to inform Cessna. 
But the basis answer to your question is to read the report, and send an email or snail mail or ph. call to the investigator who signed off on the report. The contact info is in the report.

Re: NTSB Reports
If it is important for you, you should write a letter to the NTSB (to their address in Washington DC) and clearly describe the correction you seek. You should include any documentation necessary to support your claim. Request a reply and copy your congressman. Governmental agencies such as NTSB are supposed/required to respond and I would think would make a correction if you can offer proof.
