FAA Compliance and Enforcemciuvti 6 lsBB

by |ohn Adams HodgeWith increased attention on

aircraft involved in "near misses",TCA and ARSA Violations, theFederal Aviation Administrationhas been put under pressure byCongress, the media, and the pub-lic at large to take a more aggres-sive stance toward violations ofFederal Aviation Regulations.

Pilots, mechanics, controllers,other FAA certificate holders suchas flight schools, air taxi operators,and airlines as well as many otherentities involved in aviation aresubject to enforcement actions.

The possibility that a pilot, me-chanic or other entity involved inaviation, could be involved in en-foremcnet actions taken by the FAAfor incidents and/or accidentsshould be of concern to all parties.

Just as the FAA has the authority toissue airmen certificates, the agencyalso is authorized to modify, sus-pend, or revoke certificates. Othertypes of enforcement actions in-clude assessment of civil penalities,criminal action, re-examination,seizure of aircraft, and administra-tive action.

While FAA guidance docu-ments outline the enforcement pro-cedures available to the agencies'inspectors and legal counsel, FAAcertificate holders and other partiesengaged in aviation should beaware of the government's optionsand procedures in pursuing en-forcement actions.

A letter of investigation usuallyputs the party on notice that theFAA is investigating a particularincident, and the letter may solicit a

report from the party under investi-See Compliance, Page 6

S.C. Airports Conferenceis here!

The 11th S.C. Airports Conference is here.When you attend the conference, be sure to

look for Richard Collins, former editor of FlyingMagazine and the new publisher and editor ofAOPA's pilot magazine.

Topics for the Nov. 15-18 conference rangefrom Wayports: A new way to solve an old prob-lem, to Legal Issues in Aviation, to FBO Problemsand Concerns. All topics emphasize our airportsconference theme of "Flying Toward the Fuhrre".

There's something for everyone involved inthe aviation industry, whether you're a pilot, aFBO or an airport commissioner.

You won't want to miss the FAA ListeningSessions, the Seafood Extravaganza or any of thesponsored hospitality suites. See you there!

The Southeastern Airport Managers Association re-cenlty held its 42nd Annual Conference in MyrtleBeach where over 400 particpants met to discuss air-port development, tenants, and funding problems.

eoldt Weather Flyf,ngrlt can be a ehillfrng experf,eneeWinteris just around the corner

and with it comes problems thatwann-weather people just don'tsee that often.

Neil Baker, S.C. AeronauticsAircraft Maintenance Superviser,says cold weather presents a differ-ent set of problems than hotweather.

"How about a frozen crankcasebreather? They have been known tocause oil caps to blow out or rup-ture a case seal," commented Baker."The loss of oil, in this case couldresult in an in-flight shut down.Check to assure the breather sys-tem is free of ice before takeoff."

Baker also suggests looking atyour cabin heaters. "Those cabinheaters are another area that ifunchecked could cause you harm.Many small aircraft use the muffleror a part of the exhaust system to

heat air. This air, if mixed with car-bon monoxide from a crack in thesystem, will enter the cabin."

Be sure to check the exhaustsystem before using it, advisesBaker.

Cold weather can also bringfrost and ice onto the scene.

"Frost is another problem mostoften overlooked," said Baker."That frost or light snow won'tblow off on takeoff. So take the timeto remove it."

Checking ice, snow and yourexhaust systems on your aircraftwill give you a safety edge. How-ever, there are many more itemsthat need to be checked whenflying in colder weather.

Be sure to review your ownersmanual and pickup a copy of TipsOn Winter Flying from your localFAA facility, to be on the safe side.

While antique planes buzzed overhead, Camdenushered in a modern era with the dedication of theirnew terminal building at Woodward Field.

The dedication took place during the same week-end as the Camden Antique Fly-In.

The new building repliaces their old terminalbuilding which was built before World War tr. Thenew building has many new features, including apilot's lounge, a conference room, and two bunkbedsfor weary aviators. The terminal was designed byC-amden architect Henry Boykin.

The 3,739 sq. ft. building also houses the CamdenFllang Service where Bill Hawkins, airport managerand his wife, Anne, sell aviation fuel, rent hangarspace and assist pilots.

Aer@rnea Champ f,s lR.eadly andl Wf,nnf,ngThere's a saying that hard work

pays off in the end, but know oneknows that to be true more thanfour Columbia men who have re-stored their classic airplane.

Ken Harrill, Xen Motsinger,John Gardner and Ray Ackermancan all attest to the many hours oflabor that went into their total res-toration of their 1946 AeroncaChampion 7AC.

Motsinger bought the plane in1985 from a friend after it was dam-aged by hail in March 1983. WhenMotsinger realized other projectsneeded to be finished before hecould begin working on theChamp, he sold the plane to a part-nership, of which he is a member.

The partnership consisting ofMotsinger, Ackermann, Gardnerand Harrill also own a7976 Cessna1.72with IFR equipment. So, essen-tially, the partnership has the bestof both the modern and the classicworlds.

According to Harrill, an audi-tor with the South Carolina Audi-tor's Office, the restoration wasn'treally planned. It just happened.

"We had planned to patch theholes resulting from the hail," saidHarrill,"but upon further investi-gation, we decided to remove thefabric and recover it."

"Things went from bad toworse...wood needed replacingand rust (was found) in the bottomof the fuselage," said Harrill.

'nVe decided to perform a com-plete rebuild, and I mean a com-plete rebuild," added Harrill. "Al1metal showing any sign of corro-sion was replaced. All tubing wastreated internally with boiled lin-seed oil - all wood in the fuselagewas replaced - all new cables,bolts and screws."

In addition to discovering theplane was riveted with rust, themen also discovered that the planehad to be totally recovered.

Ackerman,Gardner,Motsinger andHarrill posewith theiraward-winningAeroncaChampion.

They decided to use Stits usingpoly tone materials except when itcame to the last coat and thev usedStits clear aerothane.

'nVe came to know them(theStits Company) on a first name ba-sis," added Harrill.

The four men attended theAeronca Fly-In in Ohio in 1986 andthat was the turning point. Theyhad seen the 1983 Best Classic fromOshkosh at the Fly-ln and met theirowners, Bob and Harold Arm-strong.

'nVe kiddingly told them thatthey had cost us $10,000," jokedHarrill. 'T,lhy - because if wehadn't met or seen their Champ,we would not have gone the extratime, money and frustration of at-tempting to make an original look-ing Champ."

After seeing the Armstrong'splane, they knew their mission.

The four-man team spenthours restoring items and manytimes, had to do things twice oreven three times before it met themen's fastidious standards in aneffort to make an original lookingChamp.

Harrill added their wivesdidn't see them much while thevwere working on their project. 'nV!joked about one of our wives call-ing a lawyer asking of they couldget a discount in getting four di-vorces at once."

Besides all the hard worlg therewere many try-lng times locatingparts and repairing others.

Finally, after all the repairing,lubricating and waiting, the timecame for flying.

The day after April Fools, theytook her up. "I had flown the planein 1983 before the damage fromhail," said Harrill, "it was a pleasureto fly it first after the restoration."

'nVe had only 11 days from thefirst flight to make cosmeticchanges in preparing for the 1988Sun'N'Fun EAA Fly-In," accord-ing to Harrill.

"Our new wood prop came inon Wednesday, the day before wewere to depart for the trip."

'"We developed a problem withone magneto a few days earlier. Werepaired the mag, but did not havetime to put it on. As it turned out,there was less than one point sepa-ration between our plane and theGrand Champion Classic atLakeland. The mismatching magprobably cost us the top honor,"said a disappointed Harrill.

However, the partnership hashad a lot to brag about sincel^akeland, including winning theBest Classic Under 80 horsepowerat the'88 Oshkosh, the Best in Classat the National Aeronca Conven-tion in ]une and winning twoGrand Champion prizes at theAeronca Fly-In in Ohio, and theChapter Itr Antique/Classic Fly-In.

The four men are proud of theirrestored Aeronca Champ becausenow it is truly a flying show-planein every sense.

Compliance to FAA RulesContinued from Page 1,

gating a particular incident, andthe letter may solicit a report fromthe party under investigation.

While no requirement existsfor the person subject to an investi-gation to respond to such a letter,any response may be used againstone in later proceedings.

The FAA is empowered to issuesubpeonas, administer oaths, ex-amine witnesses and receive evi-dence, require production of rec-ords, take depositions, and enforcecompliance with a fact-findingprocedure pursuant to an adminis-trative order of investigation.

Willful violations of the FederalAviation Act could launch a crimi-nal investigation for matters rang-ing from air priacy to interferencewith air naviatgation to the failureto file reports.

A warning letter that is madepart of a certificate holde/s perma-nent record consititutes the leastsevere sanction.Where appropri-ate, the FAA may send a letter ofcorrection that requires that actionbe taken to correct a violation.Where the FAA has reasonablegrounds to question a pilot's qualifications or competence, theagency may subject a certificateholder to re-examination.

Failure to proceed with a re.examination could result in FAAaction to suspend a certificate untilre-examiniation is successfullvcompleted. The FAA may eleitwhether it wishes to proceed in en-forcement actions with a civil pen-alty or certificate action.

The agency may levy a civilpenalty up to $1,000.00 for eachviolation of the FAR's relating tosafety. Civil penalties and certifi-cate actions are reseryed for moreserious violations of the FAR's. Ineithercase of civil penalty orcertifi-cate action, the alleged violator isprovided the opportunity for aninformal conference with FAA

Regional Counsel and the inspec-tor handling the case. While suchconferences may lead to compro-mise and settlement of the sanctionsought, facts developed at the in-formal conference could later beused against the alleged violator.

Sanctions covered in enforce-ment of matters are intended toserve as punishment for a viola-tion, as a deterrent to fuhrre viola-tions, and as an example to others.The FAA guidance indicates thatthe sanction should should bebased upon consideration of a) thesignificance and degree of hazardto safety of other aircraft, persons,or property on the ground, createdby the alleged violation; b) the na-ture of the violation (inadvertant ordeliberate); c) past violation his-tory; d) level of experience; e) atti-tude of alleged violator;0 nature ofactivity involved (private, public,or commercial); g) the ability ofalleged violator to absorb the sanc-tion.

Once the FAA issues its order,the affected party may appeal tothe National Transportation SafetyBoard for a hearing by an adminis-trative law iudge. Further appealmay be made to the full NTSB, andappeal on legal matters may bemade to the United State Court ofAppeals.

The aviation safety reportingadministered by NASA providesimmunity from enforcement actionin most situations. The immunityprovisions were added to encour-age paticipation in filing reports ofsafety problems without fear ofenforecement action being taken.

In summary, pilots, mechanics,other FAA certificate holders andthose involved in aviation shouldbe aware that the FAA has an en-forcement program designed to en-hance compliance with the FederalAviation Regualtions and appli-cable portions of the Federal Avia-tion Act. Anyone involved in an

incident, accident, or other condi-tion that would give rise to a noticeof investigation and subsequentenfocement action by the FAAshould attempt to ascertain thenahrre of the investigation andenforcement action to be taken.

FYI From the FAAWho)s OnThe Runway?

Vehicles In The Wrong Place Can Be HazardousThe following information can

be obtained from the Eederal Aztia-tion Administrution Flight Stan-ilarils District Office in abrcchuretitle d V ehicular H a zards.

In 1985, there were over twodozen reported incidents of ve-hicles crossing runways ortaxiways without clearance. Someof these incidents resulted inaborted aircraft operations.

Do you have adequate controlof ground traffic at your airport toprevent a disaster?

All airports, both towered andnon-towered, should be aware ofthis problem since an incident mayresult in property damage, publicoutcry, liability lawsuits and, evendeath.

All types of ground vehiclesmay be involved in these incidents,including emergency vehicles, ten-ant vehicles, operation or mainte-nance vehicles, construction ve-hicles and sometimes off-airportvehicles.

There are many ways to pre-vent these hazardous conditions byrestricting access to the operationsareas.

The FAA recommends usingnatural or man-made barriers,fences, gates, trained guards, se-cured locks, code, card or key ac-countability, warning signs, ve-hicle ID system and aggressive en-forcement.

Another item they recommendis tenant awareness with postedrules and regulations concerningthe restricted areas.

According to the FAA commu-nicating with vehicles is the key.

'Require "tead back" ofATCT instructions.

.All vehicles in movementarea must have radio, escort or

special procedures.. Good quality radios, i.e. re-

liability.. Radios with sufficient out-

put power..Know where your blind/

deadspots are.. Drivers know tower termi-

nology..Appropriate frequencies for

aircrafUFAA emergency services,operations personnel.

. Establish priority systemwhen more than one radio is in thevehicle.

. Consider language andspeech barriers.

. Look both ways whencleared.

Vehicles operating in the areashould follow basic procedures.

Drivers should be familiarwiththe airport, know all speed Iimitsassociated in the airport and havespecial driver training, if appli-cable.

Vehicles should have adequateradios and insurance to protectthemselves if needed.

Airports should also have spe-cial dedicated vehicle lanes, ve-hicle identification systerns andescort vehicles available.

In addition, airports shouldavoid conflict between vehicle IDnumbers and aircraft flight num-bers. Airports should also aggres-sively enforce all rules and regula-tions.

Airport planning and develop-ment departments should recog-nize the importance of vehicularhazards with easily accessible roadsystems in the airport. Airportplanners should also build serviceroads to remove non-essential ve-hicular traffic from runways andtaxiways. Fuel tenders baggage

equipment, and cargo equipmentshould all utilize service roads tominimize traffic on taxiways.

Planners should also take intoconsideration crash/fire and res-cue vehicle access and they shouldrelocate fuel farms, cargo buildingsand aircraft maintenance buildingsto reduce vehicle traffic.

Airports should have runwaysand taxiways marked and lightedadequately to decrease the possi-bility of an accident. Intersectionsthat cannot be avoided should havespecial procedures with markings,signs, cross bars, flagmen andrumble bumps.

Airports should also hold spe-cial pre-construction/pre-designconferences to go over safety as-pects. Airport personnel shouldalso enforce all contractual agree-ments.

Remember, monitoring pro-grams are very effective in prevent-ing vehicular accidents. The pro-grams should authorize who is tobe on the airport restricted areasand have knowledge of all airportrules and regulations.

Monitoring programs shouldalso be in charge of gate operations,radios, vehicle identification,marking and lighting.

Prevention is the operativeword. Special "runway crossing"committees can be very effective inpreventing accidents. Bulletins toall tenants, special signs at runwayintersections and a reporting sys-tem to airport operators are all ef-fective wavs to reduce accidents.

The ailport owner or tenantcannot delegate airport safety. Youmust set the example yourself byestablishing and following rulesand regulations for ground ve-hicles.
