Ok, so maybe I am the last pilot on earth that didn't know this. But on the identification strip of the ASRS report it asks you the reason you are submitting a report.
You should be really careful what you put here. Because it can and has been used against an airman.
"Be careful when filling out the immunity form, particularly the tear-off portion. Use your words carefully when you complete the "type of events/situation" section of the "tear-off strip." You will be using this "tear-off strip" to assert your immunity if an enforcement action is lodged against you. The FAA policy is to endorse the immunity provided for the ASRS Report. But, there have been cases where the tear-off strip has been distinguished from the Report. The ASRS tear-off strip, stamped and returned to the airman by NASA (as distinguished from the report) has been admitted into evidence in a enforcement proceeding. See Administrator v. Money, No. EA-4609 (NTSB November 17, 1997). [I believe that this was definitely wrong]. If you inadvertently fly into controlled airspace without a clearance, do not describe your action as an "airspace deviation" in the strip."
