WASHINGTON�The U.S. Department of Transportation�s Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) proposes a $154,000 civil penalty against G&B
Investment Management (G&B); N3344D Partners, LLC; Two Five Delta, LLC; and
Gene Curtis, all located in Utah, for allegedly conducting commercial
flight operations in violation of the Federal Aviation Regulations. The FAA alleges that these entities and Mr. Curtis, who
controlled the entities, acted in concert by entering into agreements with an
individual and a company under which the entities and Mr. Curtis offered
air transportation for compensation or hire using two aircraft owned and
operated by G&B and Mr. Curtis. The FAA alleges that on 12 occasions the
entities and Mr. Curtis provided the individual and the company commercial
air transportation using the two aircraft. The FAA alleges that these flights violated federal aviation
regulations because the entities and Mr. Curtis operated the aircraft
without an air carrier certificate, economic authority from the Department of
Transportation, and operations specifications. The FAA also alleges that the entities
and Mr. Curtis failed to comply with operational and maintenance rules
relating to commercial operations, and advertised the operations without FAA
authorization to conduct such operations. . The FAA is coordinating to meet with the parties to discuss the
case.
