With the swearing in of Mark Rosekind and Earl Weener as members of the NTSB on June 30, the investigative body reached its full complement of five for the first time since President Obama took office in January 2009.

In addition, with the seating of Weener, the NTSB now has three pilot members. He joins vice chairman Christopher Hart, a commercial pilot with multi-engine and instrument ratings; and member Robert Sumwalt, a former airline and corporate pilot. Weener is a certified pilot who has served as a general aviation flight instructor and flown Part 135 operations.
