Attention, drone operators: the NASA UAS Safety Reporting System is open: and you can volunteer information guaranteed to be kept confidential, and not to get you into trouble with the FAA.
It’s Voluntary – But You Should Do It
The NASA UAS Safety Reporting System is part of NASA’s Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS). “The ASRS is a voluntary, confidential, non-punitive, safety reporting system that receives safety reports from pilots, air traffic controllers, dispatchers, cabin crew, maintenance technicians, and now UAS operators,” says NASA. “ASRS has been a part of the aviation safety culture for over 45 years and has collected and analyzed over 1.7 million safety reports to date. These reports describe unsafe occurrences, hazardous situations, and lessons- learned to help prevent others from making the same mistake.”
