ASRS

• Pilots avoided reporting mistakes to the FAA for
  fear of being violatedmuch information was lost
• To improve safety and to gather information on
  problems and dangers in aviation operations, the
  FAA implemented a program administered by NASA
  which provides a form of immunity for self
  disclosure
• 91-25 Aviation Safety Reporting Program (ASRP)
  The Administrator of the FAA will not use
  reports submitted to NASA under the ASRP (or
  information derived there from) in any
  enforcement action, except information concerning
  accidents or criminal offenses which are wholly
  excluded from the program
• Im off the hook if I file one of these right?

41
ASRP (NASA Form)

• ASRP provides a form of immunity to the reporter
  if the 4 following conditions are met
• The violation was inadvertent and not deliberate
• The violation did not involve a criminal offense,
  accident or action which discloses a lack of
  qualifications
• The FAA alleges a Lack of qualifications when
  it seeks to revoke a pilots certificate. The
  ASRP was designed to give immunity to pilots from
  suspension or civil penalty cases, not cases in
  which the FAA would seek to revoke a pilots
  certificate
• The reporter has not been found in violation of
  the FARs in the preceding 5 yrs
• The reporter provides that, within 10 days after
  the event, s/he filled out and sent in the form

42
Review Time

• FAR parts 91 and 61 apply to me as a DoD aviator
  and I'm responsible to comply with those parts
  unless I have a DoD waiver.
• True
• False

• Who is authorized to grant a speed waiver to
  aircraft to operate in excess of 250 KIAS below
  10,000 feet in the U.S
• AIS
• B. MAJCOM, whenever they feel like it
• C. The FAA Administrator
• D. Air Traffic Controllers

43
Review

• I am responsible for complying with the FARs
• No matter what country Im flying in
• Only if my MAJCOM specifically requires it
• Only if flying a civilian aircraft
• At all times while within U.S. airspace

• An FAA representative approaches you while you
  are exiting your USAF aircraft and asks for you
  pilot certificate. You should
• A. Hand it over
• B. Politely tell him to call contact your home
  base and
• dont give him your name
• C. Surrender the copilot
