What is required to be submitted following an act of unlawful interference?

Following an act of unlawful interference, it is essential to submit a report to the designated local authority and the relevant authority in the State of the operator. This requirement is crucial because it ensures that the incident is formally documented and addressed by the appropriate regulatory bodies that oversee aviation security. These authorities are responsible for investigating such incidents thoroughly, which helps to improve security measures and protocols, as well as ensure accountability for any breaches.

Additionally, submitting a report to the designated local authorities helps facilitate coordination among various agencies involved in the response to security incidents, enabling a more effective and organized handling of the situation. The collection and sharing of information regarding unlawful interference contribute to a better understanding of the circumstances surrounding the incident, allowing for enhanced preventative strategies in the future.

While detailed analyses of security protocols, personal accounts from crew members, and incident reports to passengers may be valuable for internal investigations or communication, they do not fulfill the legal and regulatory obligation of reporting to the designated authorities, making option A the most appropriate response in this context.
