This information is for those organisations who wish to report occurrences to the CAA by electronic means, through our online webforms.
The requirements for Mandatory Occurrence Reporting (MOR) are laid out in Part 12 of the Civil Aviation Rules with additional information in Advisory Circular AC12-1.
Both the Rule and AC state that the detail for an Accident or Incident shall be sent to the CAA on form CA005; or by a means acceptable to the Authority. In AC12-1, paragraph 11.3 states:
“Organisations may wish to use an incident detail form designed to meet their own requirements or communication system. In such cases the format should, as far as possible, follow the general format of the CA005 detail form in order to facilitate data capture. Organisations must consult with the Authority when proposing an alternative system to ensure that it is acceptable to the Authority.”
Any organisation wishing to use this electronic occurrence reporting (EOR) specification as a means of compliance will need to:
This is an interface description and must not be interpreted as CAA Policy or as an interpretation of legislation. Any alternative reporting mechanism other than that prescribed in legislation MUST be approved and accepted by the Authority.
The electronic occurrence reporting interface is published as a RESTful API capturing relevant data points as per the CA005 form specification. The API can be used only to report new occurrence related incidents and cannot be used to modify existing reports.
To register to use electronic reporting send an email to isi@caa.govt.nz with a request to register. Please ensure you provide a contact name and telephone number so the CAA can get back to you to assist you with the registration process.
