Not much new in the November 11 3 pm NTSB briefing by Dr. Bella Dinh-Zarr.

She gave the aircraft type as a Hawker 125-700A but I did not hear a registration mentioned.

The pilots went from Minneapolis to Moline to St. Louis to Cincinatti on Monday, arriving at 7:40 pm to overnight. They then flew to Dayton and Akron after a departure at about 10 am Tuesday morning.

The left wing hit the ground first and then the plane slid into the building. It was on an instrument approach controlled by ATC at the main Akron airport. The security camera video was being reviewed and another pilot on approach to AKR had been interviewed. The pilot interviewed said there had been no distress call and he was on the same unicom frequency as the accident aircraft.

The CVR is on the way to Washington on the plane that brought the NTSB investigators.

Parties to the investigation are the FAA, Honeywell (engines) and Textron (aircraft manufacturer).

Here is the video of the press conference posted on YouTube: https://youtu.be/LnZv-Z8-VCQ
