UK CAA podcast marks 50th anniversary of MOR regime

On 14 October 2026, the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) released the latest episode of its Safety Files podcast, marking the 50th anniversary of the implementation of the Mandatory Occurrence Reporting (MOR) regime. The regime requires users of UK airspace to report safety-related occurrences to the CAA, and currently receives 50,000 reports per year. In the podcast, the CAA's Jon Round and the AAIB's Phil Sleight reviewed how the 1972 Heathrow Airport accident led to the creation of MOR, and encouraged general aviation and drone pilots to submit more reports, with the system potentially being extended to ground service providers in future.
