One additional option that hasn't been mentioned is to see out a local aviation safety counselor (not an inspector, but somebody that has been designated by the FAA to keep the interest of safety in the forefront).

Aviation Safety Counselors are private individuals dedicated to the promotion of aviation safety. They serve as volunteer field representatives of the Aviation Safety Program under the direction of the district Safety Program Manager. Aviation Safety Counselors act as advisors to the aviation community but have no legal enforcement authority nor are they trained or employed as FAA aviation safety inspectors. Counselors are selected for their interest in contributing to aviation safety, ability to communicate with their peers, their professional knowledge, and their personal reputation in the aviation community. Counselors may have either a pilot or maintenance background or both.

ASCs are managed by the local FSDO offices, and can usually be found via the FAA/FSDO website, or by contacting the local office and just asking for contact info. You can call a counselor and explain what happened, and let them intervene on your behalf.

These are some of the duties of an ASC:

-Reporting hazardous conditions encountered at airports, with charting, navaids, or with the ATC system.

-Counseling pilots who may have been observed to commit unsafe acts on the ground or in the air. This may be at their own initiative or at the suggestion of the Safety Program Manager.

-Speaking at local pilot association/flying club/maintenance association or FSDO-conducted safety meetings.

-Assist with FSDO-conducted safety seminars in terms of audio-visual equipment setup, operation, and takedown.

-Promote the FAA Pilot Proficiency Award (WINGS) Program for pilots and the FAA Aviation Maintenance Technician Award Program for technicians.

-If qualified as a flight instructor, to conduct WINGS pilot proficiency flights; and upon referral by the FSDO, to conduct Remedial Training.

-Contribute articles to the local FSDO newsletters.

-Assist in the distribution of safety brochures and videotapes at FSDO-sponsored brochure racks and video lending libraries throughout the district.

-To help establish and then to serve as representatives on Airport Safety Committees.

-Provide advice and guidance on local flying conditions, weather, and terrain to student pilots and transient pilots alike.
