Chris, following a gear-up experienced by a friend in his Falco a couple of
years ago here in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, (mechanism failure - not a head
failure) the local FSDO in Spokane referred to it as an "incident" rather
than an accident. I don't think "incidents" make it into the database.
Perhaps if there had been an injury or fatality that would change the
characterization. I believe prop strikes, if even reported, fall into the
same category.

I'm sure we have some Friendly Aviation Administration types on the list -
what say you?
