5 days
10 days
15 days
30 days

The correct answer is: 10 days

An operator of an aircraft involved in an accident is required to file a National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) accident report within 10 days of the accident. This reporting timeframe is set to ensure that timely and relevant information is available for investigation, aiding in understanding the circumstances that led to the incident and improving aviation safety. The 10-day requirement reflects the balance between allowing operators to gather all necessary information and the need for swift action in safety investigations. Adhering to this timeline is essential for compliance with federal regulations governing aviation safety.
