Only need a flight plan form, without all the extras? The FAA has just the document for you.

Have you seen or experienced an unsafe situation in the national airspace system? File this report with NASA's Aviation Safety Reporting System. Doing so can result in a waiver of sanction if you've inadvertently violated a federal aviation regulation. horizontal rule image
