Study Notes

NTSB Part 830 Overview

Part 830 focuses on the notification and reporting procedures for aircraft accidents, incidents, and overdue aircraft, ensuring preservation of wreckage, mail, cargo, and records.

Immediate Notification Requirements

A flight control system malfunction requires immediate notification.
Inability of a flight crewmember to perform duties due to injury or illness must be reported immediately.
An internal turbine engine component failure causing debris that exits paths other than exhaust warrants immediate notification.
In-flight fires must also be reported without delay.
Any airborne collision during flight requires immediate notification.
Property damage exceeding $25,000, caused by an aircraft, must be reported immediately.
For large multiengine aircraft, significant electrical system failures needing backup power require notification.
Hydraulic system failures relying on a singular remaining system for control surfaces must be reported for large multiengine aircraft.
Loss of power from two or more engines in large aircraft necessitates immediate reporting.
An evacuation utilizing an emergency egress system in large multiengine aircraft requires immediate notification.
Any release of a propeller blade (not ground contact) must be reported.
Total data loss from over 50% of cockpit displays necessitates immediate notification.
ACAS resolution advisories prompting necessary compliance to avoid collision need immediate reporting.
Damage to helicopter rotor blades requiring major repair or replacement must also be reported.
Events leading to incorrect runway use or taxiway landings, necessitating immediate corrective action, require notification.
An overdue aircraft believed to be involved in an accident prompts immediate reporting.

Information to Be Provided in Notification

Details should include aircraft type, nationality, registration marks, owner and operator's names, pilot in command's name, date and time of the incident, last departure, and intended landing points.
Position references, number of people onboard, fatalities, serious injuries, nature of the accident, weather conditions, and extent of damage should be included.
Any dangerous goods on board should be described in the notification.

Reporting Timelines

Accident reports are to be filed within 10 days following an incident.
A report for overdue aircraft that remain missing is required within 7 days.
Incident reports as specified under immediate notification must be filed only upon request by an authorized NTSB representative.

Crew and Injury Reporting

Each crew member should provide a statement detailing facts and circumstances of the accident or incident at the time of reporting, if physically able.

Definitions of Key Terms

Aircraft Accident: An occurrence linked to aircraft operation from boarding until disembarkation, resulting in death, serious injury, or substantial damage to the aircraft.
Fatal Injury: Any injury resulting in death within 30 days of the incident.
Incident: Any occurrence affecting aircraft safety, excluding accidents.
Serious Injury: Injuries requiring hospitalization beyond 48 hours, fractures, internal organ involvement, or significant burns.
Substantial Damage: Damage affecting aircraft structural integrity or performance, necessitating major repairs, with some exceptions like minor ground damage or damage to individual components.
