To my understanding, the FAA has in recent years become a strong advocate for Voluntary Safety Reporting Programs (VSRP). If any airman, including the subject airman, files a ASRS, ASAP, ATSAP, etc on an incident and willful negligence is not the root cause then a robust safety event review is the likely outcome. In exchange, the FAA gets the full candid story to add to its database for system safety analysis.

The FAA has a long history of not using enforcement actions for these types of unintentional "honest mistakes" -- as long is the pilot is cooperative and otherwise competent -- and especially if the pilot self-discloses the error (e.g., via ASRS forms or even by radio as Harrison Ford did). And in 2015 the FAA officially changed its Compliance Policy to one of non-enforcement, as part of a "just culture" safety philosophy: https://www.faa.gov/about/initiatives/cp/ "The Compliance Philosophy represents a focus on using – where appropriate – non-enforcement methods, or "Compliance Action." Compliance Action is a new term to describe the FAA's non-enforcement methods for correcting unintentional deviations or noncompliance that arise from factors such as flawed systems and procedures, simple mistakes, lack of understanding, or diminished skills. A Compliance Action is not adjudication, nor does it constitute a finding of violation. Examples of Compliance Actions include on-the-spot corrections, counseling, and additional training (including remedial training)."
