The NTSB investigates aviation accidents and determines their probable causes. Monday's briefing is expected to focus on the early stages of the investigation rather than a final determination of what led to the crash.
The aircraft had departed Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas and was headed to North Eleuthera Airport in the Bahamas. Video showed the plane crashing on a road at a high rate of speed at 12:50 p.m., producing a massive fireball.
Hundreds of residents were expected to be displaced by the crash, and a major stretch of Military Trail remains closed. No fatalities were reported on the ground.
