Oth ultralt/microlt/pwr-glider acc injuring occupant, init

This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual while occupying an ultralight, microlight, or powered-glider aircraft during an accident. It specifically covers incidents involving these types of small, lightweight aircraft where the occupant is harmed.

Apply this code when documenting an initial encounter for an injury resulting from an accident involving an ultralight, microlight, or powered-glider. This includes crashes, hard landings, or other mishaps that cause injury to the person inside the aircraft.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the type of aircraft as an ultralight, microlight, or powered-glider.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent care would use the appropriate seventh character.
• Always code the specific injury(ies) sustained in addition to this external cause code.
