What is ASRS?

The Aviation Safety Reporting System is NASA's voluntary, confidential, non- punitive incident-reporting system, established 1976. Pilots, controllers, dispatchers, and maintenance technicians file reports describing safety- relevant events. NASA de-identifies every report before adding it to the public database. Reports are not investigated by NASA, the FAA, or the NTSB — they represent the reporter's perspective.

Pilot narrative

Verbatim from the de-identified NASA record. First-person account by the reporter. NASA strips identifying details (names, company, specific time); anonymization placeholders are ZZZ, X, Y.

Issued a clearance "as filed" to a King Air that departed ZZZ airport VFR. They were climbing out and would conflict with military airspace in the next sector. I wanted to turn them out to get them started away from the airspace so they could climb above it. I glanced at their position before I issued the turn and thought they were in a 7000 ft. MIA, but it was 7500 ft. Aircraft turned out of 7100 ft. and did not meet the subsequent 8000 ft. MIA. I should have waited for the turn, however due to VFR traffic in the area and the airspace I wanted to start them east as soon as possible. If this sector were terminal controlled the MIA's would be lower and there would be more flexibility in moving aircraft efficiently.

ASRS reports are voluntarily submitted, de-identified by NASA, and represent the reporter's perspective. The presence of reports on a topic cannot be used to infer prevalence in the National Airspace System. The authoritative source is the NASA ASRS Database Online at asrs.arc.nasa.gov ↗.
