    Within 10 days.

    (14 CFR 107.9 states that “accidents must be reported to the FAA within 10 calendar days, any operations involving at least: (a) Serious injury to any person or any loss of consciousness; or (b) Damage to any property for which the cost of repair exceeds $500” An overnight stay in the hospital would be considered serious injury.)
