NTSB Form 6120.1
PILOT/OPERATOR AIRCRAFT ACCIDENT/INCIDENT REPORT

The pilot/operator aircraft accident/incident report may be filed by
mailing in this form, per instructions on the last page. Copies of this form
may be obtained from the NTSB Web site , the
National Transportation Safety Board Regional Offices, and the Federal
Aviation Administration Flight Standards District Offices.

B. DEFINITIONS
1. “Aircraft Accident” means an occurrence associated with the
operation of an aircraft that takes place between the time any person
boards the aircraft with the intention of flight and all such persons have
disembarked, and in which any person suffers death, or serious injury, or
in which the aircraft receives substantial damage.

Rules pertaining to aircraft accidents/incidents, overdue aircraft, and
safety issues are contained in Part 830 of the National Transportation
Safety Board’s Regulations, 49CFR. These rules state the authority of the
Board, define accidents, incidents, injuries, and other terms, and provide
procedures for initial and immediate notification by aircraft pilots/operators.

2. “Substantial Damage” means 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. NOTE: Engine failure or damage limited to an
engine if only one engine fails or is damaged, bent fairing or cowling,
dented skin, small puncture 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 purposes of this report.

A. APPLICABILITY
The pilot/operator of an aircraft shall file a report with the Regional
Office of the National Transportation Safety Board nearest the accident or
incident for which immediate notification is required by section 830.5(a)
The report shall be filed within ten (10) days after an accident for
which notification is required by Section 830.5 or when, after seven
(7) days, an overdue aircraft is still missing. An aircraft accident, as
defined in 49CFR 830.2, is determined as an occurrence that involves a
fatality, serious injury, or substantial damage. For occurrences that do not
involve a fatality, the determination that the occurrence is an accident can
be appealed by writing to the Director, Office of Aviation Safety, National
Transportation Safety Board, 490 L'Enfant Plaza, S.W., Washington, D.C.
20594.

3. “Operator” means any person who causes or authorizes the
operation of an aircraft, such as the owner, lessee, or bailee of an aircraft.
4. “Fatal Injury” means any injury that results in death within thirty (30)
days of the accident.
5. “Serious Injury” means any injury that (1) requires hospitalization for
more than 48 hours, commencing within 7 days from the date the injury
was received; (2) results in a fracture of any bone (except simple fracture
of fingers, toes, or nose); (3) causes severe hemorrhages, nerve, muscle,
or tendon damage; (4) involves injury to any internal organ; or (5) involves
second- or third-degree burns, or any burns affecting more than 5 percent
of the body surface.

prevention activities and for statistical purposes. It is necessary that ALL
