Anyone submitting the Form will receive a receipt containing a reference number identifying the incident. 

 

Please note the following:

 

• This initiative is not part of any formal reporting mechanism that will necessarily result the investigation of a report.
• Whilst we will not routinely respond to these reports,we may contact the airfield/Air Navigation Service Provider or the person making the report to clarify details.
• Whilst we will use the information to establish trends, it will also be used when considering Airspace Change Proposals and their subsequent Post implementation Reviews.
• Formal reporting mechanisms such as Mandatory Occurrence Reporting (MOR) Civil Aviation Publication (CAP) 382/AIRPROX should be used where appropriate.
• Please submit as much detail as possible – it will allow us to understand the incident more fully.
