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

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was an occupant of an ultralight, microlight, or powered glider that caught fire. The injury is a direct result of the fire itself, rather than the impact of a crash. This code is specifically for the initial treatment of the injury.

Use this code when documenting injuries such as burns, smoke inhalation, or other fire-related trauma to a pilot or passenger of one of these aircraft types. This applies to the initial presentation for medical care following the incident.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the injury was caused by a fire within the aircraft, not just a crash.
• Verify the patient was an occupant (pilot or passenger) of the specified aircraft type.
• Remember the "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter; subsequent care would use different suffixes.
