What information should you collect when reporting a safety incident?

Safety incident reports should capture the key facts needed to understand what happened. That means including when it occurred (date and time), the flight number, where it happened (location), who was involved, a clear description of the event, and any actions taken in response. This combination gives investigators a complete, traceable picture so they can verify details, identify contributing factors, and determine corrective steps to prevent recurrence. The other options don’t provide a full account: a pilot’s name and license number alone isn’t enough to describe the incident; passenger seat numbers don’t convey the incident’s facts; and weather data from the previous day isn’t the core information needed to document what occurred.
