One of the main conflicts of the book 'Hatchet' is the author giving a totally misleading number to the Cessna aircraft involved. This gives the impression that a twin engine executive aircraft is supposedly a single engine 'bush plane'. This lack of proper research confuses thousands of readers.
The inciting incident in "Hatchet" is when Brian's plane crashes in the wilderness, leaving him alone and stranded without any survival skills. This event sets the stage for Brian's struggle for survival and his journey to overcome the challenges he faces.
The plane crashes into a Canadian forest when the pilot has a heart attack and dies in the midst of flight.

I think the inciting incident would be when Jonas becomes the Reciever because that is where the story leads up to when he find out about "release" and runs away. -RS
You need the inciting incident early in the story, so usually in the exposition or rising action.

The pestilence is the inciting incident in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the inciting incident describes the event that triggers all subsequent happenings in the play. It therefore is the pestilence with which Oedipus, the priest of Zeus and the suppliants are concerned when the play opens. The characters spend the rest of the play finding the cause and carrying out the solution to bad harvests, declining populations and dying livestock. Without the inciting incident of the pestilence, there in fact will be no story.
It is the event that sets in motion the central conflict of the story.
