Everyone in the Defence aviation community (DAC) is taught the importance of reporting Air Safety occurrences and the vast majority do so quickly and accurately. Reporting Occurrences and Hazard Observations enables action to be taken to prevent recurrence, or more importantly, to anticipate and prevent other, potentially more serious outcomes, both locally and across Defence, thereby reducing Risk to Life (RtL). Reporting and resolving observed or perceived hazards will make working in Defence Aviation safer, preserve capability and can also improve work life quality.

So what should be reported? The answer is fairly simple, anything with an Air Safety implication. If in doubt, report it.
