UAP Notification for Aviation: Safety and Discretion
Contribute to flight safety without risking your professional status. The UAP Coalition Netherlands offers an independent reporting center for pilots, air traffic controllers, and crew.
The Professional Observation: Expertise in the Unknown
Airline personnel are among the most highly trained observers in the world. When an object behavior shows that is inconsistent with conventional aerodynamics (such as extreme acceleration or hypersonic speed without a sonic boom) we speak of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).
Reporting these incidents is crucial for the aviation safety, because of:
Near Misses: Risk of dangerously low separation in airspace.
Instrumental Anomalies: Disturbances in navigation and communication equipment.
Mental Workload: Unexpected observations that challenge CRM protocols.
We focus on the correlation between visual observations and instrument data such as primary radar and ADS-B.
Integrity & Career Protection: Just Culture in Practice
We understand the barriers for pilots. The fear of the impact on the Class 1 medical or professional reputation should not be a barrier to aviation safety. UAPCNL is an independent NGO and operates according to the principles of Just Culture:
Guarantee of Discretion: We never share personal data with airlines, the ILT or third parties without your express permission.
Legal Framework: Your report falls under the protection of EU Regulation 376/2014 on incident reporting.
Medical Validity: Objectively reporting an external stimulus is a sign of professionalism, not of medical unfitness.
Scientific Data Analysis
Why is your data essential? By collecting reports, we identify patterns on specific flight paths or in higher airspace. UAPCNL offers an anonymous debriefing with aviation industry experts to correlate your observations with available sensor data.
The Standardized Reporting Process
We use a clinical protocol to ensure data integrity:
Technical Data: Recording of position, altitude, speed and instrumental status.
Expert Verification: Assessment by a panel of (former) pilots.
Anonymization: Removal of all identifying characteristics from the database.
