Voluntary Reporting of Violations for Penalty Reduction

In plain language

If you hold a pilot certificate and violate drone regulations, you can receive a lighter administrative penalty if you self-report the violation to the JCAB.

Requirement as structured

MLIT states that pilot certificate holders who violate the Aviation Act may receive a reduction in administrative penalties if they voluntarily report the violation to the Civil Aviation Bureau.
