''It’s easy to get lost in this alphabet soup of acronyms – FAA, NTSB. The FAA is the one that decides whether planes fly. They’re the regulator – they set the rules.

The National Transportation Safety Board – they’re the investigators. They come in after an accident to figure out what happened. They can also examine how the FAA operates and recommend changes.

Jane Garvey was administrator of the FAA from 1997 to 2002. She says the FAA takes all NTSB recommendations seriously, but doesn’t always follow them.''

So per that flowchart it could go either way, to NTSB for investigation is pointed to next..
