Supreme Court Case: May open FAA certificate actions for review

摘要

Jones vs. Flowers USSC 4-26-06, No. 04-1477 FAA enforcement notice requirements: The FAA will default an airman or a certificated company for failing to answer a notice from them relating to their operating certificate. Typically, after getting no response to the notice they will bring a motion before the NTSB to have a proposed sanction imposed by default. These cases result in the airman or other certificated person filing a motion to set aside the sanction and allowing them to argue their case on its merits. Various excuses for failing to answer include a lack of notice of the proceeding. This excuse is routinely denied and sanctions imposed.
