I read a very interesting article in the March GA Flyer concerning what must 
be reported as an accident.  I knew of some of the requirements, but not all.  
The copy is at work and I won't have it for another week.  
I would suggest that Everyone read it... or if you like I will retype it and 
post it on the reflector.  

Being the airport manager here at E-98, I have been contacted for 2 separate 
gear up landings.  On the first, the C-310 was not damaged too badly and the 
pilot asked me if he should contact the FAA.  I asked him if he was injured (he 
said no), and told him the damage looked minor to me, so we got his bird off 
the runway and sent him on his way.  
The second one... the pilot was already on the phone to the FAA when I 
arrived at the scene.  There were no injuries, and about the same amount of damage, 
but the pilot that called the FAA sure built himself some Major Headaches.  

That same GA flyer had some very good info on Ramp Checks,  security items, 
etc.  Definitely worth reading!.
