Why we are requesting this information

You do not have to fill in this form, but it will help us to establish more facts about the reported/observed infringement thus allowing us to assess whether or not an infringement occurred. It also enables us to collate all relevant information in relation to the occurrence. If you have submitted a Mandatory Occurrence Report (or Voluntary Occurrent Report) via ECCAIRS2 we ask you to also complete this form as it provides us with more essential data and information.
In addition, the collection of the information in this form helps us to collate more information about the causes of airspace infringements. This enables us to identify ways of preventing or mitigating them and to share information that improves airspace safety in the future.

How we will use this information

Information we collect from these forms will be statistically analysed to help identify common factors and trends. The form will be shared with the relevant ANSP and the UK Civil Aviation Authority under the principles of the MOR scheme as detailed in CAP382.

The CAA will treat the data as a supplementary occurrence report. As such it will not disclose the name of the person submitting the report, or of a person to whom it relates, unless required to do so by law or unless, in either case, the person concerned authorises disclosure.

In addition to the above, the information we collect from these forms may be summarised into tables or charts and shared with other organisations for the purpose of improving safety. All personal data is removed from the information before any of the summaries are shared.

Who we will share your personal data with

We will not share your personal data with anyone outside the ANSP or the CAA.

How to find out more

For further information on how your information is used, how we maintain the security of your information, and your right to access information we hold on you please see the CAA’s General privacy notice and Freedom of Information link.
