What is the latest time allowed to report the motor vehicle action after the conviction?

• A. No later than 60 days after the motor vehicle action
• B. No later than 30 days after the action
• C. No later than 90 days after the action
• D. No later than 120 days after the action

Answer: (A)

When a motor vehicle action results in a conviction, the important rule is that you must report it to the FAA within 60 days of the final disposition. This timeframe keeps your airman record current so the FAA can assess any safety implications, such as potential alcohol-related issues or medical factors that could affect your ability to fly. Reporting within this window helps ensure you’re compliant when renewing or obtaining medical certification. The other timeframes don’t align with this regulation, making sixty days the correct latest time to report.
