Reporting an unsafe situation involving an aircraft
Do you want to report an unsafe situation involving an aircraft? Do you think, for example, that aircraft are flying above your home in an unsafe manner? You can report this to the Inspectie Leefomgeving en Transport – ILT (Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate). If you work in aviation, you are always required to report an unsafe situation. This also applies if you fly as a hobby.

Reporting an unsafe situation involving an aircraft if you do not work in aviation
Do you not work in aviation? You can report the unsafe situation (in Dutch) to the ILT.
You can file a report if, for example:
