"subject to certain limitations"

I happened to click on your guy's thread by mistake and saw your discussion on the NASA and other reports.

I would like to add a couple of comments. First, the quote up at the top of the post isn't as cut and dry as you might think. Keep in mind that the NASA report system was created for getting information out of the general aviation community.

I can tell you from personal experience that NASA seems to change when it involves a commercial pilots mistake. I had a gear up. And while sitting in the informal conference with my attorney and 2 FAA guys, it was stated rather nonchalantly in my opinion that the NASA report didn't really apply because it was a Commercial Operation and it was over a certain dollar damage thresh hold. I was totally blasted when my lawyer stated he realized that...money down the toilet.

I was cleared but after 2 more years and no aviation work for close to 7. (Bad pilot market and a medical issue)

Now the Airline system is pointed directly for us but keep in mind that if a controller reports you before you land, you are hosed. Most protection comes from being the First Source of information. Yes you get days to report but only if your sole source. If someone reports you, well you get a few days but things can get challenging after.

The best thing is to do both reports, but don't fool yourself into thinking you made it off scott free.

Sorry for bothering you guys and I sincerely hope things improve for you. Bye
