FAA PROPOSES $231,350 PENALTY AGAINST BURGESS AIRCRAFT MANAGEMENT
October 23, 2017
The FAA has proposed a $231,350 civil penalty against charter operator, Burgess Aircraft Management. The company allegedly conducted more than 200 revenue flights with pilots who had not completed instrument proficiency checks. The company’s airman training program requires pilots to undergo recurrent checks to demonstrate their proficiency at flying in instrument conditions. Burgess did not administer proficiency checks to five pilots. The company also conducted 251 flights between November 2, 2014 and August 5, 2015 using pilots who had received incomplete proficiency checks.
