NTSB Briefing at ~14:00... I joined it in progress so I missed some details.

recent routine maint in WV facility... elevator tab replaced... other flt controls adjusted...

"Not a wake turbulence event" per ATC.

flt data recorder shows "elevator was all over the place"... might be real, might be a sensor.

Next briefing (I think) at 18:00

NTSB Briefing 21:30

Now they're told the elevator tab was NOT replaced, but there was elevator work done Monday, and cable tensions were adjusted. NTSB will wait until they get all of the maint. records and draw their own conclusions.

31 bags aboard... two were "very heavy"... which is not defined further. FBI will weigh all of the bags tomorrow. Distribution of bags in the tail is an issue.

95 hours of data on the flt data recorder spanning 84 flights.

CVR to be examined tomorrow.

Next briefing Friday between noon and 14:00.
