Code of Federal Regulations.
Description of NTSB Form 6120.1
The NTSB notes it has been using
NTSB Form 6120.1 for several years to
collect information concerning certain
aviation accidents and incidents. The
Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident/
Incident Report Form is used in
determining the facts, conditions, and
circumstances for aircraft accident
prevention activities and for statistical
purposes. The form is divided into 17
categories, which are titled as follows:
Basic information; aircraft information;
owner/operator information; other
aircraft—collision information (if air or
ground collision occurred); mechanical
malfunction/failure; damage to aircraft
and other property; airport information
(to be completed if accident or incident
occurred on approach, takeoff, or within
3 miles of an airport); flight itinerary
information; fuel and services
information; evacuation of aircraft;
weather information at the accident/
incident site; pilot ‘‘A’’ information;
pilot ‘‘B’’ information; additional flight
crew members; passengers/other
personnel; narrative history of flight;
and recommendation (concerning how
the accident or incident may have been
prevented). The basic information
category requests information
concerning the location and date and
time of the accident or incident, the
phase of operation during which the

accident or incident occurred, whether
the occurrence was a collision with
other aircraft, and the altitude if the
event was an in-flight occurrence.
The aircraft information category
requests the following information
concerning the aircraft: manufacturer,
model, serial number, registration
number, weight and center of gravity of
the aircraft, whether the aircraft was
amateur-built, category of aircraft, type
of airworthiness certificate, number of
seats, type of landing gear, type of
maintenance program, type and date of
last inspection, total time on airframe,
type of fire extinguishing system, type
of reciprocating fuel system, and type of
propeller. The aircraft information
category also requests ‘‘yes’’ or ‘‘no’’
answers to the following: whether the
aircraft was instrument flight rules (IFR)
equipped; whether it had a stall warning
system installed; whether the
emergency locator transmitter (ELT) was
activated, and additional information
about the ELT, such as whether it aided
in locating the accident/incident, its
manufacturer, model/series, serial
number, and battery type. This section
of the form also requests detailed
information concerning the engine(s) on
the aircraft, such as the engine
manufacturer, model/series, serial
number, date of manufacture, type of
power measurement (horsepower or
pounds of thrust), total time on engine,
time since last inspection, and time
since overhaul. In the category entitled,
‘‘Other Aircraft—Collision,’’ the form
requests a few types of information
similar to that in the aircraft information
category, such as the aircraft registration
number, manufacturer and model, and
the names and contact information for
the registered owner and pilot of the
other aircraft. Lastly, the form includes
a categorization of the aircraft damage,
whether the aircraft sustained minor or
no damage, substantial damage or was
destroyed.
The owner/operator section of NTSB
Form 6120.1 also requests specific
information concerning the status of the
aircraft. For example, the category
includes requests for the names and
contact information for both the owner
and the operator of the aircraft, the
Federal Aviation Regulation under
which the flight was conducted,
whether the flight was a revenue
sightseeing flight or air medical flight,
the purpose of the flight, the type of
revenue operation, type of cargo
operation (if applicable), and the type of
commercial operating certificate the
operator holds.
The form also seeks information
concerning whether the aircraft
sustained a mechanical malfunction or

‘‘unknown,’’ to the question of whether
a mechanical malfunction or failure
occurred. If yes, the form provides space
for the respondent to provide the name
of the part, manufacturer, part number,
serial number, and a description of the
failure. The form also requests the total
time/cycles on the part at issue, as well
as the number of hours since the part
was inspected or overhauled.
The form requests a brief amount of
information concerning damage to
aircraft and other property, such as a
categorization of the aircraft damage as
none, minor, substantial, or destroyed;
as well as whether an in-flight or onground fire occurred. This section of the
form also includes a box in which
respondents can provide a narrative
description of damage to the aircraft or
other property.
Regarding airport information, the
form requests the airport name and
identifier, the aircraft’s proximity to
airport (as off or on the airport or
airstrip), distance and direction from
airport, and the elevation of the airport.
The form includes boxes for
respondents to check describing the
approach segment, type of IFR
approach, type of visual flight rules
(VFR) approach, runway information,
and type and condition of runway or
landing surface.
The form also requests information
concerning the flight itinerary, such as
the last departure point and time of
departure, and the destination. By way
of check-the-box responses, this
category also requests information
concerning the type of flight plan filed,
type of air traffic control clearance or
service, airspace where the accident or
incident occurred, and a description of
the aircraft load.
In the fuel and services category, the
form requests general information,
mostly via check-the-box responses,
concerning fuel and services. These
requests for information include the
amount of fuel on board at the last
takeoff (in gallons), the type of fuel, and
any other services that may have
occurred prior to takeoff. Similarly, the
form requests a brief amount of
information concerning the evacuation
of the aircraft; the form only asks
whether an emergency evacuation was
performed and the method of exit.
The form requests information
concerning weather conditions at the
time of the accident. These requests
within the weather category ask for
information concerning the weather
observation facility; the source of

its height; the restriction on visibility;
the wind direction, speed, and gusts; the
type and severity of turbulence; and a
list of Notices to Airman and other
similar advisories in effect at the time of
the flight. In addition, the form requests
the temperature, altimeter setting,
density altitude, and dew point. Finally,
this category of the form requests
information concerning actual and
forecasted conditions concerning icing,
as well as the type and intensity of any
precipitation.
Concerning the crew aboard the
aircraft, the form requests information
concerning both pilots, such as names
and contact information, dates of birth,
certificate numbers, degree of injury,
seats occupied, whether the pilots used
seat belts and shoulder harnesses, the
types of pilot and medical certificates

of last aviation medical examination.
With regard to each pilot’s medical
information, the form also requests a
listing of any medical certificate
limitations and waivers. The form also
requests information concerning each
pilot’s flight reviews, such as the date of
the last flight review and the type of
aircraft used on the last flight review;
further, the form solicits information
concerning each pilot’s ratings, such as
aircraft ratings, instrument ratings,
instructor ratings, and type ratings, as
well as student endorsements. Finally,
the form includes a table requesting the
amount of flight time (categorized into
the following sections: Total flight time,
pilot-in-command time, instructor time,
time in this make/model, and time
during the last 90 days, 30 days, and 24
hours) concerning: All aircraft, this
make and model, airplane single- and
multi-engine, night, instrument,
rotorcraft, glider, and lighter than air.
In a category concerning additional
crewmembers, the form includes several
spaces for listing the following
information concerning different
crewmembers: Pilot names and contact
information, degree of injury, seat
occupied, type of pilot certificates,
whether the crewmember was typerated for the aircraft involved in the
accident or incident, and the total flight
time at the time of the accident or
incident. With regard to passengers, the
form only requests the name, city, state,

As stated above, the form concludes
with areas for a narrative history of the
flight and the events or actions the
respondent believes may have
prevented the accident or incident. The
form also includes a certification
statement for the respondent to sign,
attesting that the information provided
on the form is complete and accurate to
the best of his or her knowledge.
Use of Information on NTSB Form
6120.1
In general, the NTSB uses the
information provided on Form 6120.1 to
determine the facts, conditions, and
circumstances for aircraft accident
prevention activities and for statistical
purposes. The NTSB typically receives
several notifications for each accident or
incident, but only requests completion
of Form 6120.1 once the NTSB has
determined it will pursue an
investigation into the event. The NTSB’s
investigations of aviation accidents and
incidents are exhaustive. The NTSB
utilizes a ‘‘party process,’’ as described
in 49 CFR part 831, for its
investigations. This process involves the
NTSB’s invitation to outside entities to
assist with an investigation as a ‘‘party.’’
The NTSB extends party status to those
organizations that can provide the
necessary technical assistance to the
investigation. The investigator-in-charge
(IIC), for example, often confers party
status to the operator, aircraft, systems,
and powerplant manufacturers, and
labor organizations involved because of
the accident circumstances. Everyone
involved in an NTSB investigation,
including the parties, depend on
accurate information contained in NTSB
Form 6120.1 while conducting the
investigation and determining which
areas warrant focus and attention.
Overall, the NTSB considers Form
6120.1 to be critical to its statutory
function of investigation accidents and
incidents, and subsequently issuing
safety recommendations in an effort to
prevent future accidents and incidents.
The NTSB has carefully considered
whether this collection of information
on Form 6120.1 is duplicative of any
other agency’s collections of
information. The NTSB is unaware of
any form the FAA disseminates that
solicits the same information Form
6120.1 requires. However, the NTSB
notes some operators may choose to
provide a voluntary report to the
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) in accordance
with the Aviation Safety Reporting
Program (ASRP). NASA will not accept
ASRP reports concerning aircraft
accidents; however, it is possible that an
operator could report an incident to the

VerDate Mar<15>2010

15:24 May 06, 2013

Jkt 229001

NTSB, as defined in 49 CFR 830.2, and
contemporaneously submit an ASRP
report to NASA.
The NTSB notes completion of NTSB
Form 6120.1 is not voluntary, but is
required by 49 CFR 830.15(a). The
NTSB, in general, will not accept
partially completed forms; NTSB
investigators will exercise their
discretion in requesting completion of a
copy of Form 6120.1 a respondent
submits that is partially completed.
Currently, the NTSB accepts paper
copies of Form 6120.1 sent via postal
mail or facsimile, as well as electronic
copies of Form 6120.1 that respondents
submit via electronic mail. For
electronically submitted copies, the
NTSB notes its public Web site contains
a fill-able version of Form 6120.1. The
NTSB has received comments from
various respondents who have
requested an automated version of the
form be available on the NTSB Web site.
The NTSB is currently working to make
the form available in such a manner,
and is committed to providing the
simplest manner of submission for all
respondents. The NTSB plans to release
a web-based version of the form before
the end of 2013.
The NTSB has carefully reviewed the
form to ensure that it has used plain,
coherent, and unambiguous terminology
in its request for information. The NTSB
estimates that respondents will spend
approximately 60 minutes in
completing the form. The NTSB
estimates that approximately 1,800
respondents per year will complete the
form, but notes that this number may
vary, given the unpredictable nature of
the frequency of aviation accidents and
incidents.
