A close call can change the way you fly, plan, or maintain an aircraft – and your story could help others do the same.
Share your story
We’re looking for first-hand accounts that relate to any of the following themes:
- non-controlled operations
- weather and forecasting
- flight planning
- controlled aerodromes and operations
- aviation maintenance.
We accept written stories of 600-1,200 words. If selected, your story could be adapted into an audio recording, animated video or even an illustrated comic.
What happens if your story is selected
- We will contact you to ask you a few questions. This will include asking you whether you reported the incident, and whether it’s currently the subject of an investigation.
- We will deidentify the story to protect your privacy and that of others involved.
- You can choose whether or not to be named.
- You’ll receive $500 if we publish it.
Close calls are personal accounts of individual experiences and are not corroborated by CASA. We publish them so others can learn from their stories and spark discussions about safety. These stories should not be used to identify individuals or operators.
