Which item is NOT part of Class A mishap classification?

• A. $2,500,000 or more
• B. Aircraft is destroyed, missing or abandoned
• C. Injury resulting in FATALITY or permanent TOTAL Disability
• D. Minor injury requiring only first aid

Answer: (D)

Class A mishap criteria cover the most severe incidents. They’re defined by one of three conditions: the total cost of repairs or replacement is $2,000,000 or more; the aircraft is destroyed, missing, or abandoned; or there is a fatality or permanent total disability. The statement about $2,500,000 fits the cost threshold, the statement that the aircraft is destroyed fits the destruction criterion, and the statement about a fatality or permanent total disability fits the fatality criterion. A minor injury requiring only first aid does not meet any of these high-severity thresholds, so it is not included in Class A.
