## 5.7Under what format shall I report an occurrence?

5.7 Under what format shall I report an [occurrence](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/occurrence)?

There is no obligation for private pilots to report in any specific format. They can choose the most suitable reporting form among the ones available in the State they report to.

To facilitate the reporting of occurrences by private pilots, the European Commission, with the support of EASA, has developed a European Reporting Portal which is available here. It allows, depending on the method chosen by the State, on-line reporting of occurrences directly on the Portal or transfer to the national Portal of the State.
