The FAA had planned to require all flights to use the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) flight plan, also known as Form , beginning Oct. 1. AOPA asked that the aviation community be given six additional months to make the transition to the international form. While the FAA has said it will postpone the implementation deadline by at least six months, no firm timeline has been announced. AOPA has promised to provide tools to help make the transition as painless as possible for everyone concerned. I will try to keep you posted.

File your “NASA” form electronically: html FAA Regulations prohibit reports filed with NASA from being used for FAA enforcement purposes. As long as your acts are not determined to be “intentional” (you followed the rules) Your identity will remain anonymous. File the NASA Report within 10 days of the incident You may file as many NASA Reports as you like…there is no limit. So….no matter how minor the incident…file a NASA Report You may only use a NASA Report for immunity from FAA enforcement actions once every five years

Advise When Ready To Copy a Number: Regarding ATC requests to "call a number" after landing. In most cases, calling this number will not prevent the FAA from taking any planned action; generally it is a method to collect the pilot's name and certificate numbers for processing an alleged violation. If you are asked to call a number after landing, it is advised to NOT call ATC … First … File your “NASA” form electronically: Then … at your discretion, call the number requested by ATC
