To request a flight incident report from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), you can contact the FAA office responsible for handling such requests. Based on the information available, the FAA’s Aviation Safety Information Analysis and Sharing (ASIAS) system or the local Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) are appropriate points of contact for incident-related inquiries. Since the incident occurred in Denver, the Denver FSDO is a relevant office to reach out to.
FAA Address for Requesting Incident Reports:
• Denver Flight Standards District Office (FSDO)
• 26805 East 68th Avenue, Suite 200
• Denver, CO 80249-6339
• Phone: (303) 342-1100
• Email: Available through their office (contact to schedule an appointment)
• Office Hours: 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Mountain Time, Monday through Friday (except holidays)
• Note: The Denver FSDO requires all visitors to have an appointment, scheduled Tuesday through Thursday at 8:30 a.m., 10:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., or 2:30 p.m.
Alternative Contact:
• FAA Headquarters (General Inquiries)
• Federal Aviation Administration

• Washington, DC 20591
• Email: Use the FAA’s contact form at www.faa.gov/contact or email pressoffice@faa.gov for guidance on incident report requests.
Process for Requesting the Report:
• Provide Specific Details: Include the flight details you mentioned—United Airlines Flight UA 5966, ERJ175, Arcata/Eureka (ACV) to Denver (DEN), incident on approach at 1631 hrs MDT on April 26, 2025, involving wings tilting 50 feet above the runway, followed by a go-around and successful landing. This will help the FAA locate the report.
• Submit a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Request: If the incident report is not publicly available, you may need to file a FOIA request. Visit www.faa.gov/foia for instructions. You can submit the request online or by mail to:
• FOIA Program Office
• Federal Aviation Administration
• 800 Independence Avenue, SW
• Washington, DC 20591
• Contact the NTSB if Applicable: If the incident is under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), you can check their database or contact them at www.ntsb.gov. The NTSB investigates significant incidents and may have a report.
Additional Notes:
• The FAA investigates incidents, but detailed reports may be managed by the NTSB if the event is deemed serious. Given the description (a go-around due to wing tilting, followed by a safe landing), this may be classified as an incident rather than an accident, and the FAA’s Denver FSDO would likely have initial records.
• No specific FAA or NTSB reports for UA 5966 on April 26, 2025, were found in the provided references, suggesting the incident may not yet be publicly documented or may be minor (e.g., a routine go-around due to wind shear or control issues). Go-arounds are standard safety procedures, as noted in FAA statements.
• You may also contact United Airlines directly for their internal report, though they may defer to the FAA or NTSB for official inquiries. United’s contact at Denver International Airport can be found via www.flydenver.com or www.united.com.[](https://www.denver-airport.com/DIA-airlines/united-airlines) (http://www.united.com.[](https://www.denver-airport.com/DIA-airlines/united-airlines))
For the fastest response, call or email the Denver FSDO to confirm the process and whether a FOIA request is needed. If you need help drafting a FOIA request or further assistance, let me know!
