SEATTLE �The U.S. Department of
Transportation�s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes a $320,000
civil penalty against SkyWest Airlines of St. George, Utah, for allegedly
operating an aircraft that was not in compliance with federal aviation
regulations. The FAA alleges SkyWest failed to
inspect certain main landing gear components on four Bombardier CL-600 jets at
required intervals for wear that could lead to an unsafe condition or failure
of a component. SkyWest allegedly operated the aircraft on more than 6,700
flights when the inspections were overdue. SkyWest has 30 days from receipt of the FAA�s enforcement letter to respond to the
agency.
