Vermont § 476 - Reports of accidents

§ 476. Reports of accidents

• (a) The operator of an aircraft involved in an accident or incident on a State-owned airport
  resulting in personal injury or damage to property shall immediately notify the Agency
  and within 48 hours shall make a report to the Agency of the circumstances of the
  accident. The report shall state as accurately as possible the time, place, and cause
  of the accident; the injuries; and whatever other information the Agency may require.
  For purposes of this subsection, “accident” means an occurrence associated with the
  operation of an aircraft that 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 injury, or in which the aircraft or personal property owned
  by any person is damaged, and “incident” means an occurrence other than an accident
  associated with the operation of an aircraft that affects or could affect the safety
  of operations. (b) The operator of an aircraft involved in an accident or incident, other than on a State-owned
  airport, that requires reporting to the National Transportation Safety Board under
  federal law shall immediately notify the Agency and within 48 hours shall make a report
  to the Agency of the circumstances of the accident. The report shall contain the same
  information as a report for an accident occurring on a State-owned airport. For purposes
  of this subsection, “accident” and “incident” shall have the same meaning as in 49 C.F.R. § 830.5. (Added 1985, No. 222 (Adj. Sess.), § 2; amended 1997, No. 150 (Adj. Sess.), § 2.)
