long as the individua I agree s. Make sure you kee p a record of all phone calls by date, to whom you spoke
and a brief note as to what it was about. You may need to be able to reconstruct what went on and taking
notes will help. Keep a copy of any correspondence for your records and again you must remember to
DOCTMENT EVERYTHING.
Finally, if there is no response or an ursatisfactory one notify the FAA and submit a written
report such as FAA Form 8010-4, Malftrnction or Defect Report. Also contact the owner and tell them
what your intentions are and that you expect them to file a report with the FAA also. Until PIA is ready to
take a stand on this issue, possibly similar to a police departments internal affairs investigtion committee,
this problem will remain a very touchy subject.
