Occurrence Reporting
voodooman100
You asked a specific question about EASA and FAA guidance re. incidents. EASA have mandated that member nations must introduce an occurrence reporting system.
In the UK this is achieved by use of the Mandatory Occurrence Reporting Scheme which is fully documented in the CAA Publication CAP 382. It gives full details of engineering, operations and air traffic reporting, along with examples of what should be reported.
CAP 382 can be downloaded free or viewed on-line on the CAA website.
Hope this is of use
