Default Does the FAA have written policy WRT landouts?


my experience in 25 or 30 landouts with maybe 5 of them involving
local law enforcement is that they have not called the FAA before they
talk to me. *Even the one who was responding to the 911 call of a
plane crashing south of town came out to investigate the plane crash
first. *Thankfully I got him to call off the volunteer firefighter and
ambulance squad before they showed up. YMMV.


It may be a good idea to call 911 immediately after landing out and
tell them that there is NO accident, no matter what their other phone
calls say.
