The FAA is after me!
 

Any and all thoughts would be most welcome.
Had a situation a few months ago where the combination of a very excited passenger, (pvt. pilot) and a faulty altitude capture mode caused us to deviate altitude +300 feet at FL350. We caught the problem but rather than push the nose over and put the passenger into the ceiling, we had him return to his seat and decended to FL350. We were high for about 30 secs. Denver center has us call them to explain. There was no loss of seperation. Now the Denver FSDO is taking a look at this and I am worried this might become A "ding" on my record. Anyone with a similar experience?
Any advice would be great.

Cheers.

Did you file a NASA report? Too late now, but that could have saved you.

Interesting topic for me here. I am military and not familiar with a NASA report. Care to explain it a bit or would I be better off doing a google search?

NASA Report

ASAP Report

Thanks Dog Breath. I will check it out.

filling out a NASA report gives you certain protection from being persued by the FAA on incidents,,can't be used for accidents or crimes though.

I filed one as soon as I landed. Got the recipt in the mail a few weeks ago. I know it offers some protection, but for the life of me I can't understand why the Denver FSDO has such a hard on for this. I heard a SWA crew "bust" an altitude but the center didn't have them make a call.

Hard to say why they are after you without knowing what they saw. With the FAA cracking down on everyone everywhere, you may be an easy target for them.

You already took care of the big thing - the NASA report. I don't have any other advice, other than to contact a Union Rep or maybe someone at AOPA.

i doubt they will do anything for 300 ft,,especially if there was no conflict

You need to contact your union and get a avaition attorney assigned and work through them. Don't use this forum for advise. Get professional help.
