Call AOPA Legal and ask them about filing a report. You *do* have

You *are* an AOPA member, right?

Do not discuss in this newsgroup the events that caused, appear to
have caused, or are the result of any action that your partner took.
Asking about how to deal with the insurance is fine. Anything that
involves the FAA or can involve the FAA should not be discussed in
public.

Didn't we have this discussion a couple months ago?

Typical lawyer. This type of accident happens every day. What happens
with the FAA is standard. Assuming the plane was in annual and your
partner had a medical the process goes very quickly. The FAA will
almost certainly require your partner to take a quick checkride covering
just the events surrounding the accident, so basically he'll go around
the patch a few times. Having an AOPA legal plan won't help one iota in
this situation.
