involves lacerations which cause severe hemorrhages, nerve, muscle, or tendon damage; 4) ·involves injur.Y to any internal organ; or 5) involves second or third degree burns affecting more than 5 percent of the body surface. Substantial Damage 1) Except as provided in subparagraph (2) of this paragraph, substantial damage means damage or structural failure which adversely affects the structural strength, performance, or flight characteristics of the aircraft, and which would normally require major repair or replacement of the affected component. 2) Engine failure, damage limited to an engine, bent fairings or cowling, dented skin, small punctured holes in the skin or fabric, ground damage to rotor or propeller blades, damage to landing gear, wheels, tires, flaps, engine accessories, brakes, or wingtips are not considered "Substantial Damage" for the purpose of this part. OCCURRENCE Occurrence re 1ates to the immediate circumstance of the event. Occurrences are numbered in descending order and directly relate to the phase of operation. Some examples of occurrences are as follows: -V- Gear Collapsed Collapse of the landing gear due to mechanical failure other than malfunction of the retracting mechanism. TYPE OF OPERATING CERTIFICATE/TYPE OF OPERATION ---- ------ The type of operating certificate/type of operation refers to the purpose for which the aircraft is being operated at the time of the accident. This type of operating certificate is broken into two categories. These categories are: 1. GENERAL AVIATION This operating certificate refers to operations involving U.S. and foreign aircraft owned and operated by persons, businesses, corporat i ans, et cetera. This category also includes public use aircraft. To further define General Aviation operations we have classified the following: Personal Flying by individuals in there own or rented aircraft for pleasure, or persona 1 transportation not in furtherance of their occupation or company business. Business The use of aircraft by pilots (not rece1v1ng direct salary or compensation for piloting) in connection with their occupation or in the furtherance of a private business. Corporate/Executive Operations The use of aircraft owned or 1eased, and operated by a corporation or business firm for the transportation of personnel or cargo in furtherance of the corporation's or firm's business, and which are flown by professional pilots receiving a direct salary or compensation for piloting. Instructional Flyinq Refers to flyfng accomplished in supervised training under the direction of an accredited instructor. Other Flyi.!!.9_ Includes other kinds of flying not covered under the other broad categories. In some instances the criterion of direct financial return may or may not be present. -VI- 2. AIR CARRIER This operating certificate refers to all operations conducted for direct financial return except instructional flying. It includes Domestic/Flag Air Carriers, Supplemental Air Carriers, All Cargo Air Service Air Carriers, Commercial Operators, Air Travel Club, and Corporate (14 CFR 125) operations. Also included in this category are Commuter Air Carrier and On-Demand Air Taxi operations. Airframe/Component/System Failure/Malfunction Occurrences resulting from failure of any part of the airframe/component/system while in flight or in motion on the ground. Excludes failure resulting from contact with another airplane or object, or impact with the ground, or damage from landing gear collapse or retraction. Powerp l ant - ~ of Power Occurrences of engine failure or malfunction for any reason. Includes engine stoppage, power interruption, or power loss, actual or simulated. PHASE OF OPERATION The phase of operation relates to the particular segment of the flight or occurrences during which the circumstances of the accident occur. CAUSES AND RELATED FACTORS In determining probable cause(s) of an accident, all facts, conditions and circumstances are considered. The object is to ascertain these cause-effect rel at i onsh i ps in the ace i dent sequence about which something can be done to prevent recurrence of the type of accident under consideration. Accordingly, for statistical purposes where two or more causes exist in an accident, each is recorded and no attempt is made to establish a primary cause. The term factor is used to denote those elements of an accident which further explain or supplement the probable cause(s). Additional items that are not categorized as cause or factors are indicated as findings. These items are of interest in the investigation, however, they do not relate directly to the cause of the accident. -VII- BASIC WEATHER CONDITIONS The types of weather conditions (VMC /IMC) are determined in accordance with the prescribed minima in Part 91 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. These minima pertain to the ceiling and visibility, in conjunction with the type of airspace at the accident site. Type of weather conditions are based on surface weather as determined from officially recognized sources. Weather conditions encountered in flight are not necessarily representative of the classifications VMC/IMC as carried under Weather Data. -VIII- FILE ORDER LISTING ISSUE NUMBER 10 CALENDAR YEAR 1986 File Order Listing - Issue No. 10, 1986 File Aircraft Aircraft Injury Number Regist.

THE PLT RADIOED DANNELLY TOWER THAT THE ACFT WAS RETURNING TO THE ARPT. THEN THE PLT RPTED THAT THE RIGHT ENGINE LOST THRUST, HOWEVER THE RIGHT PROP WAS NOT FEATHERED BECAUSE HE WAS NOT SURE IF THE ENGINE WAS PRODUCING POWER. A GEAR-UP FORCED LANDING WAS MADE ON A 4-LANE HIGHWAY. THE ACFT ENGINES WERE FUELED WITH ALCOHOL WITH APPROVAL OF THE FAA FOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. THREE DAYS PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT THE ACFT EXPERIENCED POWER SURGES AND MADE A PRECAUTIONARY LANDING. NO PROBLEMS WERE FOUND AND THE FLIGHT WAS CONTINUED. INSPECTION OF THE ACFT REVEALED THE RIGHT PROP FEATHERED AND THE LEFT PROP IN LOW PITCH. THE ACFT WGT AND BAL INDICATED APPROX. 400# OVER GROSS WEIGHT. THE ENGINES WERE SUCCESSFULLY TEST RUN.
