NASA form question

[paulsalem]

How long does it take to get the receipt? I submitted one abut two weeks ago online, and was expecting the receipt by now.

Usually by the time I get the receipt in the mail. I open the letter up and go, oh yea, I remember filing this.

I don't remember a time line, but long enough to forget about getting a receipt.

One month or so for the receipt.

Print out the confirmation when you submit as that will work as well as the receipt, plus, it has the benefit of no self-incriminating words on the "event type" block. I like to put down something like "pilot fun", "student fun" or "airplane fun" on the event type line. Sarcastic, completely true, yet non-descriptive, and, I think, better than "stupid airplane tricks".

I overflew a phase inspection due to our Director of MX giving the wrong times for the phase. Should I fill out a NASA form? Will a NASA form even help?

Thanks in advance for the answers.

Hell yes.

If you EVER think you MIGHT need to fill one out, then FILL ONE OUT. Can't hurt, and just might save your ticket. Yeah, you could get your pee-pee spanked by the FAA, but you're far more likely to get a Warning Letter than a fine/suspension.

Oh ... and in the interests of safety, yadda, yadda. But mostly, your ticket.

Maybe the worst bit of advise ever given out of FI...if you fill it out with a description of the events and the FAA comes after you (think SELF-DISCLOSURE:where your company will hang you up to dry to save their butts) you show them the receipt of your NASA ASR form they cannot take certificate action (with very minor exceptions, you did it on purpose for instance) if they come after you and you can't provide the receipt you are SOL for example: Flyinig beyond inspection interval 180 day suspension ...so I'd say fill it out...then save the little paper they send back to you.

I disagree about the worst advice ever. Inspections are allowed to be flown over by a specified amount of time with certain exceptions.

This was a 300hr phase. It could be overflown by 30hrs. The DOM had the wrong times on the status sheet. The 30hr extension was overflown.

NASA form was sent in yesterday, I hope I never have to fill one out again.

The first thing you have to look at is what your Company Manual says bout your responsibility in regards to checking maintenance times etc. If all you are supposed to do is to compare times and numbers given to you/written down on some kind of form (in the logbook or log can) I doubt you are in trouble.

You can also ask your supervisor of what the procedure is or even give the DOM a call and ask him what he will do about it. If MX self-disclose this to the FAA and admit blame then you will probably be ok. Do you have a Dir.of Safety you can ask for advice?

Do this before completing the NASA report.

I used to work for a Cessna ME Dealership and FAA Certified Repair Station as a line mechanic. If your 135 operator's MTC Shop botched the numbers, I highly doubt the Feds will go any farther than the MTC office in an investigation, especially if they self-disclose.

You did your job, you checked the can and the paperwork was in order, signatures in place, etc. You're not on the CRS Certificate and not responsible to check to see if QC can do basic math. I wouldn't sweat it.

they're filled out daily by lots of people...filling them out isnt a bad thing, just like everyone has been saying "it's like insurance for your certificate." and because theyre filled out daily new policies and practices are recommended by the faa to promote safety.
