40ASRS
- 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?
41ASRP (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
