Aviation occurrencesQuestion 274 of 351

A privately operated aeroplane has a maximum certificated take-off weight of 1 800 kg. Its engine shuts down as a precaution. Must the owner report this incident under subsection 2(1)?

Yes, because any engine shutdown is reportable
Yes, because the aeroplane carries people
No, because the aeroplane is not over 2 250 kg and has no air operator certificate
No, because the engine did not catch fire

Show answer

Correct answer: No, because the aeroplane is not over 2 250 kg and has no air operator certificate

Incident reports apply to aircraft over 2 250 kg or aircraft under a Part VII air operator certificate. An accident report is a separate rule.
