CAM Aviation Regulatory Compliance 4

Question 1

An aviation manager receives an FAA Letter of Investigation (LOI). What is the most prudent immediate action?

Accepted Answer

Consult aviation counsel before responding and preserve relevant records

Answer

An LOI signals potential enforcement action, so preserving records and seeking legal counsel protects the operator's interests.

Question 2

What protection does the ASRS (Aviation Safety Reporting System) offer a pilot who files a timely report after an inadvertent violation?

Accepted Answer

Waiver of certificate suspension penalty for unintentional violations, subject to conditions

Answer

A timely ASRS report can waive the sanction for an inadvertent, non-criminal violation, though the finding of violation still stands.

Question 3

Under the FAA Compliance Program (formerly Compliance Philosophy), how does the FAA prefer to address unintentional deviations by cooperative operators?

Accepted Answer

Through compliance actions like training and procedure fixes rather than legal enforcement

Answer

The Compliance Program favors root-cause remediation and corrective action over punitive enforcement when operators are willing and able to comply.

Question 4

Which record retention requirement applies to a flight department's aircraft maintenance records showing total time in service?

Accepted Answer

They must be retained and transferred with the aircraft when sold

Answer

Records of total time in service and life-limited parts status are permanent records that stay with the aircraft under FAR 91.417.

Question 5

A scheduled inspection program is overdue on a company aircraft with a trip planned tomorrow. What compliance option may allow repositioning the aircraft to a maintenance facility?

Accepted Answer

A special flight permit (ferry permit) from the FAA

Answer

A special flight permit under FAR 21.197 allows a safe but not fully airworthy aircraft to fly to a place where maintenance can be performed.
