April 25, 2022
On Wednesday, March 2, 2022, the FAA issued a press release announcing that it proposed a $175,500 civil penalty against Airtronics, Inc., a Colorado company, for allegedly conducting unapproved maintenance operations. Specifically, FAA alleged that Airtronics had performed maintenance operations on roughly 20 aircraft between August 15, 2019, and November 20, 2020, at a facility that was not approved under the company’s FAA-issued operations specifications. FAA also alleged that Airtronics continued to perform the unauthorized maintenance operations at the same unapproved facility despite receiving numerous warnings from the FAA that its operations may be in violation of Federal Aviation regulations. Airtronics has 30 days to respond following receipt of the FAA’s enforcement letter.
