In addition to the definitions provided in Sections 1.2 and 1.3, ICAO and the FAA clearly
define a hazard. According to ICAO, a hazard is a “condition or object with the potential of causing
injuries to personnel, damage to equipment or structures, or reduction of ability to perform
a prescribed function.” The FAA uses this definition—“a condition that could foreseeably cause
or contribute to an accident.”
