Channels for occurrence reporting
In accordance with Art. 20 ANA, all incidents, serious incidents and accidents involving manned and unmanned aircraft falling under Art. 4 Regulation (EU) No. 376/2014 must be reported via the reporting portal to the Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA) within 72 hours of notification. The FOCA has produced a guide for general aviation (GA) on how to use the reporting portal.
Reporting Office ROJCA (Reporting Office for Just Culture in Civil Aviation)
The Reporting Office for Just Culture in Civil Aviation aims to strengthen Just Culture through the protection of the information source of an occurrence reporting in Swiss Civil Aviation. Individuals can inform the Reporting Office of alleged infringements regarding the protection principles by national authorities or their organisation.
Reporting occurrences in accordance with Regulation (EU) 376/2014
The Directive 2003/42/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 13 June, 2003, on occurrence reporting in civil aviation has been repealed by the European Commission. The new regulation (EU) No 376/2014 will apply from the 15 November, 2015. The moment of the effective implementation in Switzerland is dependent on the adoption of the Joint Committee. It is foreseen that in Switzerland this becomes effective in Spring 2016.

Suspected Unapproved Parts (SUP)
Aircraft parts that are not produced or maintained in accordance with the relevant regulations and international standards must be reported to the FOCA without delay as ‘unapproved parts’ or as ‘suspected unapproved parts’ (SUP). Once the parts in question have been verified as unapproved parts, an ‘Unapproved Parts Notification (UPN)’ is published.
