Scribble out all those log entries?

Buy a new log book and start it with the BFR. Put the old one in a safe
place.



It couldn't hurt to complete a NASA for could it? Would the protections
apply in a case like this?

It might, because filing an ASRS bars you from filing another one for
something like a year.

You can file as many as you want, but you only qualify for one
immunity every five years. Simply filing an ASRS does not mean you are
using up that one chance. The FAA must come after you for the
violation, using information other than the ASRS itself. Also,
remember that not all ASRS involve a violation. Some are simply
informational or whistle blowers.

It doesn't even work that way. First off you get immunity (the
info on the form can't be used against you) for each submission.

The every five year thing is the part where the FAA will forgive
enforcement action if you file an ASRS and you haven't another
previous violation in the past five years. The 5-year thing
runs regardless of whether you've used the ASRS get out of free
thing for a previous violation. That is, it's not possible
to "save it up" for a bigger violation.

Some point out potential safety issues as well (not sure if you included that
in your "informational" definition or not).

Two years ago I filed one to point out that two different, but nearby active
airports shared the same AWOS frequency. When flying to the further airport
from the east, the closer airport's AWOS stepped all over the further
airport's AWOS and it was impossible to receive current weather until about
15 to 20 nm, or about 6 to 8 minutes east of the further airport. Not a big
deal if conditions were benign VFR, but this was an issue when conditions
were low and windy IFR, since the pilot had to scramble to decide and then
set up the desired approach.

Never heard a word back from this report and both airports still share the
same AWOS frequency two years later, so a lot of good that did.

You can file a NASA report every day for every flight leg.
But you can only use one to end an FAA enforcement action
once each five years. You don't bring up the NASA report
and your proof of timely filing until the FAA completes an
investigation and says, you have a 9 month suspension or a
$25,000 fine, then you present your NASA slip.
