... The aircraft type, model, registration number, fuselage number, fuselage serial number, engine make and model, engine serial numbers, and flight number should be recorded. Possible mission types include scheduled passenger flight, nonscheduled passenger flight, cargo flight, ferry flight, training flight, in-flight refueling, and flight test.

... Thrust problems include in-flight engine shutdowns, IMPROVING THE CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS OF CIVIL AIRCRAFT failure or asymmetric deployment of thrust reversers, inadvertent thrust reverser deployment in flight or on the ground, engine flameout, engine failure that is not contained by the engine case and/or the nacelle, engine fire warning, engine separation, high exhaust gas temperature, engine stab or surge, engine power loss, multiple engine failure, foreign object damage to engine, engine overspend, and abnormali ties involving the oil system, throttles, gear box, or fuel. Flight control problems include gross weight and centerof-gravity problems, jammed or locked controls, aircraft stall, instrument error or false indications, wake turbulence, buffet, or vibrations caused by structural failures, improper actions by the pilot or autopilot, uncommanded actuation of control surfaces, adverse weather, or other system cause.

... , describing the errors, such as failure of the flight crew to properly secure passengers, take immediate action, follow air traffic control instructions, use checklists, compensate for wind, maintain direction control, go around, monitor weather, monitor instruments, recover from unusual attitude, inform cabin crew or other flight crew, see and avoid other aircraft, accurately estimate altitude, interpret instrument readings, or maneuver the aircraft in accordance with approved procedures. Personnel errors include voluntary acts that are poorly performed or failures to act when action is appropriate.

... CORRECTIVE ACTION When available and as appropriate, the corrective action should be recorded. Options include airworthiness directives, alert service bulletins, service bulletins, "all operator" letters, operational occurrence reports, and/or official recommendations.
