Based on the information available, the FAA\u2019s 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.<br \/>\nFAA Address for Requesting Incident Reports:<br \/>\n\t\u2022\tDenver Flight Standards District Office (FSDO)<br \/>\n\t\u2022\t26805 East 68th Avenue, Suite 200<br \/>\n\t\u2022\tDenver, CO 80249-6339<br \/>\n\t\u2022\tPhone: (303) 342-1100<br \/>\n\t\u2022\tEmail: Available through their office (contact to schedule an appointment)<br \/>\n\t\u2022\tOffice Hours: 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Mountain Time, Monday through Friday (except holidays)<br \/>\n\t\u2022\tNote: 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.<br \/>\nAlternative Contact:<br \/>\n\t\u2022\tFAA Headquarters (General Inquiries)<br \/>\n\t\u2022\tFederal Aviation Administration<br \/>\n\t\u2022\t800 Independence Avenue, SW<br \/>\n\t\u2022\tWashington, DC 20591<br \/>\n\t\u2022\tEmail: Use the FAA\u2019s contact form at www.faa.gov\/contact or email pressoffice@faa.gov for guidance on incident report requests.<br \/>\nProcess for Requesting the Report:<br \/>\n\t\u2022\tProvide Specific Details: Include the flight details you mentioned\u2014United 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.<br \/>\n\t\u2022\tSubmit 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:<br \/>\n\t\u2022\tFOIA Program Office<br \/>\n\t\u2022\tFederal Aviation Administration<br \/>\n\t\u2022\t800 Independence Avenue, SW<br \/>\n\t\u2022\tWashington, DC 20591<br \/>\n\t\u2022\tContact 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.<br \/>\nAdditional Notes:<br \/>\n\t\u2022\tThe 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\u2019s Denver FSDO would likely have initial records.<br \/>\n\t\u2022\tNo 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.<br \/>\n\t\u2022\tYou may also contact United Airlines directly for their internal report, though they may defer to the FAA or NTSB for official inquiries. United\u2019s 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))<br \/>\nFor the fastest response, call or email the Denver FSDO to confirm the process and whether a FOIA request is needed.
