Definitions

• Aircraft Accident - an occurrence associated with
  the operation of an aircraft which takes place
  between the time any person boards the aircraft
  with the intention of flight and until such time
  as all such persons have disembarked, and in
  which any person suffers death or serious injury,
  or in which the aircraft receives substantial
  damage.

Definitions

• Substantial Damage
• Damage or failure which adversely affects the
  structural strength, performance, or flight
  characteristics of the aircraft, and which would
  normally require major repair or replacement of
  the affected component.
• Engine failure or damage limited to an engine if
  only one engine fails or is damaged, bent
  fairings or cowling, dented skin, small punctured
  holes in the skin or fabric, ground damage to
  rotor or propeller blades, and damage to landing
  gear, wheels, tires, flaps, engine accessories,
  brakes, or wing tips are not considered
  substantial damage for the purpose of this order.

Definitions

• Serious Injury - any injury which
• (1) requires hospitalization for more than
  48-hours, commencing within 7-days from the date
  an injury was received
• (2) results in a fracture of any bone (except
  simple fractures of fingers, toes, or nose)
• (3) causes severe hemorrhages, or nerve, muscle,
  or tendon damage
• (4) involves any internal organ or
• (5) involves second- or third-degree burns, or
  any burns affecting more than 5-percent of the
  body surface.
