Figure 8-1.-Severity class data.
Naval Aircraft Mishap Severity Classes
The following mishap severity classes, based on
personnel injury and property damage, apply to all three
categories of mishaps in the preceding paragraphs.
CLASS A SEVERITY— A Class A mishap is one
in which the total cost of property damage (including
aircraft damage) is $1,000,000 or greater or in which an
aircraft is destroyed or missing. A mishap in which any
fatality or permanent total disability occurs with direct
involvement of naval aircraft also falls into this
category.
CLASS B SEVERITY— A Class B mishap is one
in which the total cost of property damage (including all
aircraft damage) is $200,000 or more, but less than
$1,000,000. In addition, permanent partial disability
and/or the hospitalization of five or more personnel
occurs.
CLASS C SEVERITY— A Class C mishap is one
in which the total cost of property damage (including all
aircraft damage) is $10,000 or more, but less than
$200,000. In addition, injury results in 5 or more lost
workdays. Figure 8-1 lists the data for each severity class.
An occurrence resulting in a total property damage
cost (including all aircraft damage) of less than $10,000
and no defined injuries is not reportable as a naval
aircraft mishap. However, it may be reported as an
aviation hazard.
