Civil Aviation Daily Occurrence Reporting System: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how the mandatory reporting system for aviation incidents works and what pilots need to know to stay compliant.
The Civil Aviation Daily Occurrence Reporting System (CADORS) is a mandatory channel used by aviation professionals to report specific incidents to the government to improve safety.
Who it's for
This system is designed for pilots. It is specifically for pilots who are directly involved in an aviation incident or those who witness an incident occurring during flight operations.
What you get
By using this system, you gain access to a mandatory safety reporting channel. This ensures that all relevant aviation occurrences are formally documented and recorded by the relevant authorities, which helps maintain high standards of safety within the industry.
What it costs you
There is no monetary cost or fee required to use this reporting system. However, you will need to dedicate your time to properly documenting the event and filing the necessary paperwork to ensure the report is accurate and complete.
The catch to know
The most important thing to understand is that reporting is not always optional. For specific types of aviation occurrences, reporting is a legal requirement. If you are involved in an incident that falls under the mandatory reporting rules and you fail to file a report, you may be subject to fines.
