Report of accident

(a) The operator of any aircraft involved in an accident within this state in which any person is killed or injured or damage in excess of one thousand dollars is sustained to the property of any person, other than property owned by the owner or operator or in such owner's or operator's care, custody or control or carried in or on the aircraft, shall immediately but not later than fourteen calendar days after the accident report the matter in writing to the executive director of the Connecticut Airport Authority. If the operator is physically incapable of making the report, the owner of the aircraft involved in the accident shall immediately but not later than fourteen calendar days after learning of the accident make the report. If neither the operator nor the owner is physically capable of making the report, then each passenger shall, within ten days after learning of the incapacity of the operator or owner, make the report. If the owner or operator dies as a result of the accident, the legal representative of the operator or owner shall make the report within ten days after such representative's qualification. The state police shall notify the executive director of the accident in writing immediately but not later than fourteen calendar days after learning of the accident. (b) The report, the form of which shall be prescribed by the executive director, shall include information to enable the executive director to determine whether the requirements for the deposit of security under section 15-105 are inapplicable by reason of the existence of insurance or other exceptions specified in this chapter. The executive director may rely upon the accuracy of the information until he or she has reason to believe that the information is erroneous. (c) The operator and the owner shall furnish such additional information as the executive director may require.
