TSB reportable accidents
A TSB reportable accident = occurrence meeting any of three triggers (TC AIM GEN 3.3.1):
| Trigger | Role | Detail | Cite |
|---|---|---|---|
| Death or serious injury | Cause (from) | Being on board the aircraft | GEN 3.3.1(a) |
| Death or serious injury | Cause (from) | Direct contact with any part of the aircraft, including parts detached from it | GEN 3.3.1(a) |
| Death or serious injury | Cause (from) | Direct exposure to jet blast, rotor down wash, or propeller wash | GEN 3.3.1(a) |
| Disqualifying structural damage | Required (both) | Adversely affects structural strength, performance, or flight characteristics | GEN 3.3.1(b) |
| Disqualifying structural damage | Required (both) | and normally requires major repair or replacement of the affected component | GEN 3.3.1(b) |
| Disqualifying structural damage | Excluded | Engine failure or damage limited to engine, its cowlings, or accessories | GEN 3.3.1(b)(i) |
| Disqualifying structural damage | Excluded | Limited to propellers, wing tips, antennae, tires, brakes, fairings, or small dents or puncture holes in the skin | GEN 3.3.1(b)(ii) |
| Missing or inaccessible aircraft | Meaning | Aircraft itself, not just lost contact | GEN 3.3.1(c) |
Trap: engine failure or dented wing tip is excluded from structural damage; reportable only if it also causes death, serious injury, or missing aircraft.
