Risk item, failure mode (FM) code, and definition.

Risk itemFM codeDefinition

ARCFM1Abnormal runway contact (any landing or takeoff involving abnormal runway or landing surface contact)
ADRMFM2Aerodrome (aerodrome design, service, or functionality issues are evident)
ATMFM3Air traffic management (ATM) or communications/navigation/surveillance (CNS) service issues are evident
CFITFM4Controlled flight into or toward terrain (in-flight collision or near collision with terrain, water, or obstacle without indication of loss of control)
F-NIFM5Fire/smoke (nonimpact) (fire or smoke in or on the aircraft, in flight, or on the ground, which is not the result of impact)
RAMPFM6Ground handling (occurrences during or from ground handling operations)
GCOLFM7Ground collision (collision while taxiing to or from a runway)
ICEFM8Icing (accumulation of snow, ice, or frost on aircraft surfaces that adversely affects aircraft control or performance)
LOC-GFM9Loss of control-ground (loss of aircraft control while the aircraft is on the ground)
REFM10Runway excursion (a veer off or overrun off the runway surface)
RI-AFM11Runway incursion-animal (collision with, risk of collision, or evasive action taken by an aircraft to avoid an animal on a runway in use)
RI-VAPFM12Runway incursion-vehicle, a/c or person (any occurrence at an aerodrome involving the incorrect presence of an aircraft, vehicle or person on the protected area of a surface designated for the landing and takeoff of aircraft)
SECFM13SEC: security related (criminal/security acts, which result in accidents or incidents)
USOSFM14Undershoot/overshoot (a touchdown off the runway surface)
