Thanks Ron. I spent two hours in the air and two hours on the ground today
and am back in business.

Anyone happen to have these two NTSB regs handy? I'm reviewing for my
BFR
on Monday (haven't been flying for about 5 years) and haven't been able
to
access the NTSB site (www.ntsb.gov?). Thanks.

830.5 Immediate notification.
The operator of any civil aircraft, or any public aircraft not operated by
the Armed Forces or an intelligence agency of the United
States, or any foreign aircraft shall immediately, and by the most
expeditious means available, notify the nearest National
Transportation Safety Board (Board) field office \1\ when:
(a) An aircraft accident or any of the following listed incidents occur:
(1) Flight control system malfunction or failure;
(2) Inability of any required flight crewmember to perform normal flight
duties as a result of injury or illness;
(3) Failure of structural components of a turbine engine excluding
compressor and turbine blades and vanes;
(4) In-flight fire; or
(5) Aircraft collide in flight.
(6) Damage to property, other than the aircraft, estimated to exceed
$25,000 for repair (including materials and labor) or fair
market value in the event of total loss, whichever is less.
(7) For large multiengine aircraft (more than 12,500 pounds maximum
takeoff weight);
(i) In-flight failure of electrical systems which requires the
sustained use of an emergency bus powered by a backup source such
as a battery, auxiliary power unit, or air driven generator to retain
flight control or essential instruments;
(ii) In-flight failure of hydraulic systems that results in sustained
reliance on the sole remaining hydraulic or mechanical
system for movement of flight control surfaces;
(iii) Sustained loss of the power or thrust produced by two or more
engines; and
(iv) An evacuation of an aircraft in which an emergency egress system
is utilized.
(b) An aircraft is overdue and is believed to have been involved in an
accident.

\1\ The Board field offices are listed under U.S. Government in the
telephone directories of the following cities: Anchorage, AK,
Atlanta, GA, West Chicago, IL, Denver, CO, Arlington, TX, Gardena (Los
Angeles), CA, Miami, FL, Parsippany, NJ (metropolitan New
York, NY), Seattle, WA, and Washington, DC.

830.15 Reports and statements to be filed.
(a) Reports. The operator of a civil, public (as specified in Sec.
830.5), or foreign aircraft shall file a report on Board Form
6120.1/2 (OMB No. 3147-0001) \2\ within 10 days after an accident, or
after 7 days if an overdue aircraft is still missing. A report
on an incident for which immediate notification is required by Sec.
830.5(a) shall be filed only as requested by an authorized
representative of the Board.
(b) Crewmember statement. Each crewmember, if physically able at the time
the report is submitted, shall attach a statement setting
forth the facts, conditions, and circumstances relating to the accident or
incident as they appear to him. If the crewmember is
incapacitated, he shall submit the statement as soon as he is physically
able.
(c) Where to file the reports. The operator of an aircraft shall file any
report with the field office of the Board nearest the
accident or incident.

\2\ Forms are available from the Board field offices (see footnote 1),
from Board headquarters in Washington, DC, and from the
Federal Aviation Administration Flight Standards District Offices.
