If available, what action could a pilot of an air carrier take if they violate a federal regulation because of an air traffic control direction?
A
File a report through the Voluntary Disclosure Reporting Program (VDRP).
B
File a report through the Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP).✓ Correct Answer
C
File a report through the Flight Operational Quality Assurance Program (FOQA).
Explanation
ASAP (AC 120-66) lets air carrier employees voluntarily report safety events, including possible regulatory deviations such as one caused by following an ATC instruction, with enforcement incentives. VDRP is for the certificate holder's own disclosures, and FOQA analyzes flight data, not individual reports.
