Justification for Non-Substantive Changes
National Transportation Safety Board
NTSB Form 6120.1: Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident/Incident Report
Since receiving approval for the Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident/Incident Report form in April 2024, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) made minor, non-substantive changes to the form and instructions for completion.
The non-substantive changes were intended to assist the agency in aligning with accessibility requirements and follow best practices of other agencies. In particular, the NTSB separated the instructions from the form to assist pilots and operators in reading the instructions while completing a paper or electronic version of the form.
The non-substantive changes are as follows:
Separating the instructions and the form;
Formatting the text of the instructions for readability;
On instructions and form, adding the NTSB logo to the top and adding the recurring header with the form name, OMB # and the expiration date; and
For the form, adjusting some text formatting to allow the logo to fit and shading the boxes so that each section is more apparent and identifiable.
