Which of these incidents requires a notifiable air accident report?
Answer A flight attendant breaks her back during turbulence and is paralyzed
A reportable accident, as defined by the National Transportation Safety Board, is “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.” Considering this definition, only the flight attendant with the broken back must be reported.
