Who must the commander of an aircraft notify if he/she violates any local rule, regulation or procedure?

  • A
    The local Authority without delay.
  • B
    The local Authority within ten days.
  • C
    The Authority of the State of the operator without delay.
  • D
    The Authority of the State of the operator within 10 days.

The clue in the question is “violates any local rule, regulation or procedure”. If a local regulation is broken, then the local authority must be informed without delay.

Imagine, for example, an Italian airliner breaking an FAA rule while operating in the USA. The commander needs to inform the Americans ASAP…
