    1. Can't determine if delayed unless you look in the 10 day rolling AIN report before the initial reporting date scrolls off. The content above is from the preliminary report in CAROL for DCA21LA058 in response to the initial report:

  2. "An aircraft accident is an occurrence associated with the operation of an aircraft that:
    • Occurs between when the first person boards the aircraft – with intention of flight – and the last person disembarks;
    • Results in death or serious injury;
    • Causes substantial damage to the aircraft."

    "an aircraft incident is an occurrence – other than an accident (no intention of flight) – associated with the operation of an aircraft that affects or could affect the safety of operations."
    Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 830, §830.2
