WASHINGTON � The U.S Department of Transportation�s Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes an $84,700 civil penalty against Image
Air of Southwest Florida for allegedly allowing an unqualified pilot to fly its
aircraft. The FAA alleges that between
June and September 2014, the Bloomington, Ill.-based company allowed one of its
pilots to fly on at least 16 revenue flights when he had not passed a required FAA
competency check within the past 12 months for the category, class and type of
aircraft he was operating.
Image Air has 30 days from
receipt of the FAA�s enforcement letter to respond to the agency.
