Report any civil aviation accidents, serious incidents and occurrences, as specified in Regulation (EU) 376/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council, which have taken place in the territory of Finland or involved a Finnish aircraft operating outside Finland.
Primarily, the report should be submitted via the pan-European ECCAIRS 2 reporting system.
If you are a private pilot and wish to report an occurrence that took place in Finland, you can alternatively submit the report using the "Aviation Safety Report for Private Pilots" form.
In the case of an accident or a serious incident, please also notify the Safety Investigation Authority by calling +358 50 5 112 112
Additional information on occurrence reporting
Occurrence reporting is governed by Regulation (EU) No 376/2014, the so-called Occurrence Regulation. Regulation (EU) 2015/1018 further specifies the occurrences subject to mandatory reporting. You can also always voluntarily report any situation that you believe poses an actual or potential risk to aviation safety.
More detailed procedures and instructions to be followed in Finland are described in the aviation instruction GEN T1-4.
The information obtained from the reports is utilized in the continuous improvement of aviation safety. The handling of all reports complies with the Just Culture principles. This means "a culture in which front-line operators or other persons are not punished for actions, omissions or decisions taken by them that are commensurate with their experience and training, but in which gross negligence, wilful violations and destructive acts are not tolerated."
