FAA REVOKES REPAIR STATION CERTIFICATE OF SENSENICH PROPELLER SERVICE’S CONNECTICUT MAINTENANCE FACILITY
September 21, 2018
The FAA issued an Emergency Order of Revocation of the repair station certificate that authorizes Sensenich Propeller Service, Inc., to operate in North Windham, Connecticut.
The FAA alleged Sensenich and the company’s accountable managers falsified maintenance records and approved for return to service parts that had been improperly serviced. Specifically, the FAA alleged that not only did Sensenich and the accountable managers knowingly perform maintenance on 47 propellers for 45 separate aircraft—contrary to instructions in the manufacturers overhaul manuals—they also certified and approved the propellers for return to service, despite the propellers not being properly overhauled.
Due to the seriousness of the alleged violations, the FAA determined that emergency action was required to immediately revoke the certificates of the company and the accountable manager. Both surrendered their certificates to the FAA, and neither appealed the FAA’s emergency revocation order.
