Class A mishap includes which outcome?

• A. Fatality or permanent TOTAL Disability
• B. Minor injuries
• C. Temporary dizziness
• D. Equipment damage

Answer: (A)

Classifying mishaps by severity is about how serious the outcome is. Class A is the highest level and is reserved for events with fatalities or permanent total disability, or other extremely severe consequences such as the destruction of an aircraft or very large property damage (typically $2 million or more). Because of that, the outcome described as a fatality or permanent total disability matches the defining criterion for Class A. The other listed outcomes—minor injuries, temporary dizziness, and equipment damage—are far less severe and fall into lower classes, so they don’t meet the threshold for Class A.
