AVIATION SAFETY REPORTING FORM

FAQs For Use

ATTENTION!

If you have made a mistake and inadvertently violated the FARs, the FAA may take enforcement action in the form of suspension, revocation, or civil penalties. This Aviation Safety Report (ASR) Form can be submitted in confidence, to NASA to obtain "Sanction Immunity."

If the FAA proves you committed the violation, it may go on your record, but the "sanction" such as revocation, will be avoided if you properly file this form.

Recommendation:

• Download Tracking Log to maintain a record of submittal of ASR Form (compliments of The Phillip J. Kolczynski Law Corporation).
• Download the ASR Form
• Download Adobe Acrobat Reader (free reader from Adobe, Mac or Windows) to print out both the Tracking Log and the ASR Form. Keep the Tracking Log and the ASR Form in your airplane or briefcase in the event that you make a mistake.

If you think you may have inadvertently committed an airspace, separation, communication or any other unintentional violation - FILE the ASR Form!

WARNING!

An FAA License or Certificate Holder must prove that the ASR Form was delivered or postmarked, within ten (10) days of the incident in order to qualify for sanction immunity.

FAA Advisory Circular No. 00-46c, explains that you cannot claim "Sanction Immunity" by means of an Aviation Safety Report in any of the following circumstances:

• Deliberate actions which violate the Federal Aviation Regulations
• Criminal Activity - Remember - Don't do the crime if you can't do the time!
• Aviation Accidents (an "accident," distinguished from an "incident" is defined in 49 C.F.R. 830.2 as involving death, serious injury or substantial aircraft damage)
• FAA confirmed violations within the last five (5) years
• Actions revealing a lack of competency or qualifications to hold a license

WARNING!

If you think any of these exceptions may apply to you, retain an Aviation Lawyer to obtain attorney-client privileged advice before you file the form. The information on this web page cannot be relied upon to resolve all issues involving your civil law exposure if you are involved in an incident. If you are involved in criminal activity - Do NOT file the form, contact a Criminal Law Specialist. The form might be used against you if there is an accident or criminal activity. FAR 91.25.
