Ultralt/microlt/pwr-glider crash injuring occupant, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual involved in a crash of an ultralight, microlight, or powered-glider aircraft. It specifically indicates that the patient was an occupant of the aircraft at the time of the incident.

Apply this code when documenting injuries resulting from an ultralight, microlight, or powered-glider accident where the patient was a passenger or pilot. This is appropriate for the initial treatment of injuries sustained directly from the crash event.

• Always assign an additional code for the specific injury(ies) sustained.
• Ensure the encounter is indeed the "initial encounter" for treatment of the crash-related injuries.
• Distinguish from codes for non-powered glider crashes or crashes involving other aircraft types.
