FIRST SCHEDULE
Paragraph 2(1)
Guidance for Determination of Aircraft Damage
1.  If an engine separates from an aircraft, the event is considered an accident even if damage is confined to the engine.
2.  A loss of engine cowls (fan or core) or reverser components, which does not result in further damage to the aircraft, is not considered an accident.
3.  An occurrence where any compressor, turbine blade or other engine internal component is ejected through the engine tail pipe is not considered an accident.
4.  A collapsed or missing radome is not considered an accident, unless there is related substantial damage in other structures or systems.
5.  Any missing flap, slat and other lift augmenting device, winglet, etc., that is permitted for dispatch under the Configuration Deviation List is not considered an accident.
6.  Where any retraction of a landing gear leg, or wheels up landing, has resulted in skin abrasion only and if the aircraft can be safely dispatched after minor repairs or patching, and subsequently undergoes more extensive work to effect a permanent repair, then the occurrence is not considered an accident.
7.  If the structural damage is such that the aircraft depressurises, or cannot be pressurised, the occurrence is considered an accident.
8.  Any occurrence that entails the removal of any component for inspection following the occurrence, such as the precautionary removal of an undercarriage leg following a low speed runway excursion, while such removal may involve considerable work, is not considered an accident unless significant damage is found.
9.  Any occurrence that involves an emergency evacuation is not considered an accident unless someone has sustained serious injuries, or the aircraft has sustained significant damage, as a result of the occurrence.
