accident ICAO
fatally or seriously injured, aircraft sustains damage or structural failure, aircraft is missing or is completely inaccessible
serious injury ICAO
requires hospitalization, fracture of any bone, lacerations, injury to any internal organ, second or third degree burns, any burns affecting more than 5 percent of the body surface, verified exposure to infectious substances or injurious radiation
substantial damage NTSB
adversely affects the structural strength, performance, or flight characteristics of the aircraft
controlled flight into terrain (CFIT)
until impacting the terrain the aircraft is under technical control but not under navigational control, cause of 50% of all fatal aviation accidents, ATC involved in 11 of 12 accidents, only in 1 of 100, pilots acted against ATC instructions
incident reporting system
confidential, pilots unpunished, operated by neutral authority, collection and analysis without a regulative authority,
