ATLANTA – The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is  proposing a civil penalty of $185,750 against Kingfisher Air Services Air  Safari, Inc., of San Juan, P.R., for allegedly operating a Cessna 208B on 44  flights between June 2 and June 11, 2010, when it was not in compliance with  Federal Aviation Regulations.
The FAA alleges that three pilots reported that the aircraft’s  engine temperature exceeded the take-off limits before the carrier took the  required maintenance action and had the engine repaired. The engine maintenance  manual requires the operator to send the engine to an overhaul facility for a  light overhaul when such problems are reported. The carrier failed to send the  engine for overhaul after the first and second pilot reports.
Kingfisher Air has 30 days from receipt of the FAA’s civil  penalty letter to respond to the agency.
