If an aircraft is involved in an accident which results in substantial damage to the aircraft, the nearest NTSB field office should be notified

A

immediately.✓ Correct Answer

B

within 48 hours.

C

within 7 days.

Explanation

49 CFR 830.5 requires the operator to notify the NTSB immediately, by the most expeditious means, when an aircraft accident occurs, and an accident includes any occurrence with substantial damage to the aircraft. The written report (NTSB Form 6120.1) comes later, within 10 days.
