When an ASI determines that an air carrier's continued operation poses an immediate threat to public safety, what is the most appropriate enforcement action?
Answer: Issuing an Emergency Order of Suspension or Revocation
An Emergency Order of Suspension or Revocation allows the FAA to act without prior notice when continued operations present an immediate safety hazard.
Under FAA enforcement policy, a Warning Notice is the appropriate action when:
Answer: A first-time, inadvertent violation with no safety significance has been identified
FAA enforcement policy reserves Warning Notices for first-time, unintentional violations with minimal safety impact; more serious or repeated violations warrant civil penalties or certificate action.

Answer: Approved by the FAA and based on current fatigue science and operational data
An FAA-approved FRMS must be scientifically grounded and data-driven; the FAA must formally approve it before the carrier may apply it as an alternative to Part 117 provisions.
