Accident record
 

Does an accident ever go off the record of a pilot? I thought I read somewhere the FAA revised its rules regarding this and said after five years an accident would no longer appear on a pliot's record. In other words, after five years, no one who be able to associate an accident with a pilot unless the pilot offered to discuss on his/her own accord.

The AOPA has this to say about it:

Identity Protection after Accident Investigation

Or try this more legalese way of saying the same thing, I think:

FR Doc 05-23101
