Which of the following is a type of reportable matter?

• A. Aircraft Accident
• B. Maintenance log
• C. Flight plan amendment
• D. Weather advisory

Answer: (A)

Reportable matters are events that aviation safety authorities require you to notify promptly because they indicate a potential safety risk and can affect airworthiness or flight safety. An aircraft accident clearly fits this category because it involves significant damage or injury and triggers mandatory notification to authorities and a formal investigation.

The other items are routine records or operational updates rather than incidents demanding immediate reporting. A maintenance log is a record of work performed to prove continued airworthiness, but by itself it’s not an event that must be reported as an incident. A flight plan amendment is simply updating the planned route or operations and is an administrative action. A weather advisory provides important information for flight planning and safety, but it is not an incident that requires reporting as a matter.
