Here is the link to NTSB Part 830.... http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text...d=2150208c5457.... The key part seems to be shown in "830.2 Definitions". *To me this doesn't really apply to an uneventful landout...except that (like most FAA/NTSB documentation) it is open to interpretation. "Aircraft accident means an occurrence associated with the operation of an aircraft which 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." "Incident means an occurrence other than an accident, associated with the operation of an aircraft, which affects or could affect the safety of operations." Another Key definition is: Substantial damage means damage or 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. Engine failure or damage limited to an engine if only one engine fails or is damaged, bent fairings or cowling, dented skin, small punctured holes in the skin or fabric, ground damage to rotor or propeller blades, and damage to landing gear, wheels, tires, flaps, engine accessories, brakes, or wingtips are not considered “substantial damage” for the purpose of this part. |

I agree that there isn't much in the "Aircraft Accident" or the "Substantial Damange" definitions that would point anyone to need to notify the NTSB if a clean landout occurs. The gotch catch-all is the "Incident" definition which states "...affects or could affect the safety of operations.". This is something that someone MIGHT think applies to any landout. This sentence basically says we need to predict the future because this clean landout might affect the next non-clean landout. Huh? - John |
