Reporting an Accident or Incident on the NZHGPA Accident and Incident Reporting System (AIRS).
If the occurrence is an "accident" as defined under CAA Rules Part 12
(especially if emergency services attend), then the pilot or operator must inform CAA as soon as practicable by calling 0508 ACCIDENT (0508 222 433), followed by the local Club Safety Officer.
Pilots are required to fill in an AIRS report within 10 days after an accident and
14 days after an incident. If you are unsure what to do, consult the NZHGPA OPM Section 5.12 and or ask your Club Safety Officer for guidance.
Information provided is reported to the NZHGPA and automatically sent to CAA under a Just Culture. Meaning; the information is provided for statistical and safety information only
and is not used for enforcement investigation or disciplinary action
unless the safety of other people or property has been put
in
unnecessary danger or if false information is supplied. The information will be recorded on the NZHGPA database and made available for reporting and safety analysis, to help prevent future accidents. Identifying information will be removed before public release.
