Incident Related Spares
Greetings to all, this is my first post. My career path has taken me down the road of spares support for most narrow bodied aircraft.
However I am "embroiled" in an arguement with a supplier on the definition of incident related. My definition is that it can cover pretty much anything that causes the a/c to deviate from its flight plan, although this would be a little pedantic in some cases. Is there clear EASA or FAA definition does anyone know, without having to trawl their websites ?

If My memory serves Me correct(some doubt possible) there is no definition of "incident" however there is a def. for accident and again if My memory is correct it is defined as if 1 or more pax or crew requires hospital attention and stays in the hospital over night that constitutes an accident.

Accident/Incident
I have taken this from the NTSB web site which should help settle any disputes.
"An accident is defined as "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". The Safety Board also investigates some incidents, including them in the database in the same form as accidents. Typically, incidents do not involve the level of injury or damage characteristic of an accident. An incident is defined as "an occurrence other than an accident, associated with the operation of an aircraft, which affects or could affect the safety of operations."

Cheers guys. Pretty much as I thought. we have a standard statement also that "these parts were not obtained from any government or military source and were not subjected to severe stress or heat (as in major engine failure, accident, incident or fire) or immersed in salt water.
The parts in question were IFE and the cabin had been subjected to some smoke damage.

This is taken from the CAA website:
The difference being that it doesn't actually have to occur.
MOR reporting
There we've trawl the internet for you, saves you doing it I suppose
A reportable occurrence in relation to an aircraft means any incident which endangers or which, if not corrected, would endanger an aircraft, its occupants or any other person.
A report should also be submitted on any occurrence which involves, for example, a defective condition or unsatisfactory behaviour or procedure which did not immediately endanger the aircraft but which, if allowed to continue uncorrected, or if repeated in different, but likely, circumstances, would create a hazard.

Occurrence Reporting
voodooman100
You asked a specific question about EASA and FAA guidance re. incidents. EASA have mandated that member nations must introduce an occurrence reporting system.
In the UK this is achieved by use of the Mandatory Occurrence Reporting Scheme which is fully documented in the CAA Publication CAP 382. It gives full details of engineering, operations and air traffic reporting, along with examples of what should be reported.
CAP 382 can be downloaded free or viewed on-line on the CAA website.
Hope this is of use
