on the A&C Form. If more than one injury diagnosis is recorded in fields 36-43, enter a
cause of injury code in field 35 for the first injury.

broad categories are as follows:
I
-59
Accidents in air transport, as specifically defined;
spacecraft accidents and escape system injuries.
II
1-149
Accidents in land transport, as specifically defined.
III
