FAADroneZone Appendix D: Small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS) Part 107 Safety Event Reporting System

Within ten days of completing an operation where certain types of aircraft safety events have occurred, 14 C.F.R. §107.9 requires a Small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS) owner or operator to report those safety events to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).  The Small Unmanned Aircraft System Part 107 Safety Event Reporting System (sUAS Part 107 Safety Event Reporting) allows sUAS owners or operators to submit a Part 107 safety event report. FAA employees and contractors (FAA Analysts) use the data from sUAS owners or operators in this system to process the submitted safety event reports. Since the initial publication of the Appendix, a new System of Records Notice (SORN) titled DOT/FAA 857 Accidents, Incidents and Investigations, 88 FR 73070, October 24, 2023, was published. In addition, the system name was changed from sUAS Part 107 Accident Reporting application to sUAS Part 107 Safety Event Reporting System. The sUAS Part 107 Safety Event Reporting System is part of the FAADroneZone services. This is an Appendix to the overarching PIA for FAADroneZone located on the Department of Transportation’s Privacy Impact Assessment page.
