Reporting inflight fire after time limit
Last year I flew for a multi aircraft 135 operator. A few months ago I had an inflight fire with passengers on board. I declared and landed. Company made a big deal about down playing the issue and I was told not to make a big deal out of it as it didn't rise to the level of what the company considered an inflight fire. It was just a "burnt electronic". I filed the company safety report and a NASA report as well. I eventually parted ways with the company and moved up in the world of aviation.
Subsequently the FAA got involved for a different event and was made aware of the issue. I am now a witness for the FAA into some chicanary at the 135, but not (as far as I know) a subject of investigation. But I never personally notified the NTSB. At every 135 I was told everything is done through the company and my Chief Pilot or someone at the company would be responsible for dealing with the FAA. All I do is make the company report and the company takes it from there.
Well the company never notified the NTSB. I fall under the definition of "operator" as PIC for FAR definitions. Should I reach out to the NTSB at this point? Or just let it go? It's been months and the aircraft has been repaired and placed back into service.
