FAA ANNOUNCES CIVIL PENALTY FOR AEROSPACE SUPPORT INTERNATIONAL
October 29, 2019
On September 6, 2019, the FAA announced it is seeking a $514,558 civil penalty against Aerospace Support International, LLC, of Doral, Florida, for allegedly selling ball bearings without proper airworthiness documentation. Between March 2015 and July 2017, Aerospace Support International allegedly duplicated airworthiness paperwork for some bearings sold for use in onboard electrical power equipment. The company allegedly also duplicated paperwork attesting that bearings were made to industry standards by an approved manufacturer. The FAA alleged that Aerospace Support International’s deliberate and intentional action resulted in a serious risk to the flying public. The company has asked to meet with the FAA to discuss the case.
