Be sure to contact AOPA's Legal Services folks if you purchased the
coverage ($26/yr is cheap for a PP!) and get them involved! They will
make sure you are headed in the right direction. If you have not
purchased that coverage, then don't call them for this incident, but
purchase it for next time!

Also, Fill out that ASRS! I've actually taken to the practice of
keeping 1-2 forms in my flight bag, just in case.

The worst would be disciplinary action, certificate suspension, etc.
But realistically, as a student, you would be given additional
training. Your CFI, if he was acting as PIC (he had valid medical,
license, etc) would be liable for any FAA actions. If you were acting
as PIC because your CFI did NOT have the medical, then you may be
considered as PIC, and would then be liable.

As a former DPE, I've seen a few of these actions in the past. The FAA
usually will be satisfied with the PIC taking remedial training. But in
the future, I would not talk to the FAA without first consulting an
aviation attorney. And as another poster said, fill out a NASA report
immediately!



Thank you guys for the prompt feedback. I will file the form and keep
you all posted how all of this pans out. Thanks.
