A.

Every person involved in or witnessing an aircraft accident on the airport shall report promptly the details of such accident to the director of aviation, to the FAA, and to local law enforcement personnel, as required by law. In addition, the pilot or aircraft owner shall report fully to the California Division of Aeronautics the details on any accident in which there is death or injury, or in which damage to the property of others exceeds four hundred dollars.

B.

The owner and/or pilot of an aircraft which is damaged or wrecked from any cause shall be responsible for the prompt removal of the aircraft, as directed by the director of aviation. Where the pilot or owner is unable to arrange for removal of such disabled or wrecked aircraft, the director of aviation shall have the authority to move or arrange the removal of the aircraft when released (if applicable) by the FAA or the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). No liability shall be incurred by the director of aviation or others for damage aggravated by or resulting from such removal.
