Surely it doesn't matter what name you give it ...?

In all aircraft handling there has to be a system where everyone quickly and without fail reports anything which they see or do that may impact on safe operation.

Having an accident should not mean a disciplinary investigation follows - it should mean an investigation ensues to establish what happened and why.

A "no blame" culture (or possibly the better named "just culture") does not mean negligence goes undealt with ...

Causing a/c damage and knowingly not reporting it should result in disciplinary action - i.e. the accident itself becomes somewhat remote - it's the act of failing to report damage that is the subject of action.




There are two seperate things here ... having an accident and failing to report an accident/aircraft damage.
