Would it have been incorrect to call it a crash? Plane damaged, pilot seriously injured when it impacted terrain. Cirrus SR22 GTS Turbo, N577CP: Accident occurred December 10, 2020 at Ogden-Hinckley Airport (KOGD), Weber County, Utah

Normally a crash has intent on flying. Incident was not intending to fly. I learned if you crash on the taxiway and don’t stop normal traffic on the runway, you can get away with a lot more.

How is this not an intent to fly? "A friend of the pilot reported that the pilot told him the engine experienced a partial loss of engine power shortly after takeoff from runway 17, and that the airplane would not climb. The pilot performed a right turn and landed on runway 3, however, could not stop the airplane before it overran the departure end of the runway and impacted terrain. "

I didn’t say it wasn’t. All I said was some definitions. Officially a crash is called an accident. An incident is taxing. What I’m pointing out is usually how the FAA classify it, not a reporter. If it’s not a final document from the FAA or NTSB it’s not permanent. I have seen light crashes that ended up on the taxiway be officially called incidents in the final paperwork.
