FAA proposes $297,000 civil penalty against Air Mods
May 3rd, 2010 - 10:55 pm ICT by BNO NewsJAMAICA, NEW YORK (BNO NEWS) — The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced Monday that it has proposed a civil penalty against Air Mods and Repair Corporation of Wilmington, Delaware.
The $297,000 civil penalty has been proposed, as the FAA alleges Air Mods and Repair Corporation operated two general aviation aircrafts when they were not in compliance with Federal Aviation Regulations.
Maintenance problems were allegedly discovered with a Piper PA-23 Aztec twin and a single-engine Piper PA-28 Warrior after an FAA Flight Standards inspection of a proposed flight school at the Air Mods facility at Robbinsville, New Jersey was conducted. The company was told by the FAA that proper repair procedures were required before further flight of either aircraft.
Between January 22 and March 4, 2009, Air Mods allegedly operated the Warrior on 19 subsequent flights and the Aztec on six flights from January 21 to February 28, 2009 without making the necessary repairs to either aircraft.
After receiving the penalty letter, the company has 30 to respond to the FAA.
