Does the FAA have written policy WRT landouts?
For the last 4-5 years, the Cordele, Ga. contest management has
advised us to call 911 preemptively, to avoid the first-responder nonsense. Frank Paynter (TA) On Dec 22, 9:17*am, John Cochrane wrote: 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. John Cochrane |

Does the FAA have written policy WRT landouts?
In 1998 before a contest at TSA, Marvin Willis spoke to and got a
written follow up letter from the FSDO in Dallas stating that the FAA does not consider an off-airport landing by a sailplane a reportable incident if there is no damage to aircraft, property of another, or injury to any person. I have a PDF of this that I would be happy to share. Tried several times to attach it, but to no success. Email me off the thread and I will send you back the PDF. Have been carrying the letter several years, not used it yet. Kevin 192 |

Here is a link to Kevin's pdf file.
http://www.soaridaho.com/Misc/FAALandOut.pdf It is probably something that could be updated by a person that has a good relationship with their FSDO.

This document is just the sort of thing our club is looking for. Perhaps we'll be able to get it reissued by the Oakland FSDO. Happy New Year, Larry |
