If you receive a report of having entered restricted airspace, how should you proceed after landing?

When a pilot receives a report of having entered restricted airspace, the appropriate course of action upon landing is to inform air traffic control immediately. Communicating with air traffic control is crucial because they need to be aware of any airspace violations to assess the situation accurately and potentially take necessary actions regarding safety and airspace security. This communication ensures that all relevant authorities are informed and can respond to the event appropriately.

Leaving the airport without any discussion can exacerbate the situation, as it may raise further concerns regarding the safety of operations and the pilot's awareness of airspace regulations. Contacting the FAA might be a necessary step, but it should not substitute for informing air traffic control, as they are the immediate authority involved in managing the airspace and ensuring safety during your operation. Requesting another flight plan would not address the immediate concern regarding the violation of restricted airspace either.

In summary, promptly reporting the incident to air traffic control demonstrates adherence to aviation regulations and fosters safety within the airspace system.
