FAA investigation and the NTSB report
Most general aviation accidents are investigated by the FAA. The NTSB uses the FAA's input to write a report. In the case of a high profile (JFK jr / Cory Lidle) or unusual accident, the NTSB will get involved with the legwork. cub

I think all aviation accidents are investigated by the NTSB. I'm not sure, but I think they classify them as either fields or limiteds. The field types are usually (due to cost) limited to Fatal/serious injury/accidents of interest (i.e. V-tail bonanzas/Malibu's). The limited types are investigated from the desk via the telephone. I think the NTSB ASI may use the FAA as a source of evidence in the investigation by speaking to them over the phone or in person. And I'm pretty sure when the ASI's report is complete, it is sent to D.C. for their recommendation, which usually goes along with the content of the ASI's report.
A go team usually gets assigned to the high priority cases (JFK Jr/Valujet everglades/etc)....

We lost a brother and the focus should be on him, his family, and loved ones, not on FAA/NTSB roles in the ensuing investigation. Demonstrate your knowledge (or lack thereof) elsewhere.

Most excellent individual, got my initial Line Check from him after A300 checkout, three years ago. Insightful, caring and GENUINE man. I had a chance to visit him later at OLV airport hangar, check out his restored Ercoupe and it was pretty clear to me, that this guy was in love with Flying airplanes ..........The Memorial Service was proper and reminded me of how much I take for granted every day.
