"What is the point of your post? .. based on your definitions how will the ATO classify this? an accident or an incident? ... since no one died but the aircraft was a write-off how will this be treated?"
Thank you Alpha.
From the account I can see it's an aircraft accident. In an aircraft accident or incident, investigation reports list the number of fatalities (zero in this case) and injuries (two).
I am normally too busy to contribute in this forum, but what caught my attention is the term "fatal accident". I felt I ought to take time out to write something about this. I am separating the term "fatal" and "accident".
I wrote that the term "fatal accident" is used by news reporters. Now if a professional investigator used it in his report I stand corrected. We are careful about terms and check definitions.
It was my business to read accident/incident reports and investigate as well. It's not a pleasant task at all.
Good day to you gentlemen.
