For statistical uniformity only, an injury resulting in death within 30 days of the accident is classified fatal; (2) the aircraft sustains damage or structural failure that a) adversely affects its structural strength, performance, or flight and (b) would normally require major repairs or replacement of the affected component, except for engine failure or damage limited to the engine, its cowlings, or accessories; propellers; wing tips; antennae; tires; brakes; fairings; small dents; or puncture holes in the aircraft skin; (3) the aircraft is missing or is completely inaccessible.
