The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board arrived at the scene of the crash Sunday morning to begin an investigation into the cause of the accident. Searchers spotted the wreckage southwest of Bakersfield about three hours after receiving an alert from the FAA about a missing plane that was last detected an estimated 10 miles south of the city. The FAA says it will take months, if not longer, to determine the probable cause of this crash.
