You are not alone
You landed, and then the FAA called...
If this resulted in an inadvertent deviation from an ATC instruction, it could ultimately get the attention of the FAA.
The most common type of call AOPA Pilot Protection Services gets from airmen has to do with pilot deviation. These are the type of matters that typically begin with air traffic control asking a pilot to call a telephone number after landing and could be the result of a pilot not complying with ATC instructions, inadvertently flying into controlled airspace, penetrating a TFR, or not flying the published departure procedure.
If this happens to you, you’re going to want to have the advice of an experienced aviation attorney. If you are a participant in AOPA Pilot Protection Services, you have access to our in-house attorneys as well as a nationwide network of experts in aviation law.
We deal with an average of nearly 4,500 aviation-related legal matters and more than 1,000 medical certification-related cases per year, and the variety of calls we receive from plan participants run the gamut. So, if the FAA asks you to call, you’ll be relieved to know that you are not alone.
