The "4040" Flight Program the Inspectors use to remain current, and thus conduct check rides, was temporarily suspended. The created a situation when most FAA Inspectors were not current and therefore could not conduct .293, .297, or .299 checks.
The program is back up and running now and...
That is addressed in 14 CFR Sec. 61.156(c):
Deviation authority. The Administrator may issue deviation authority from the weight requirement in paragraph (b)(1) of this section upon a determination that the objectives of the training can be met in an alternative device.
You can bet that those...
Yes. BUT....
There was plenty of blame to go around on that one. There were a couple of individuals at XJ and a couple of individuals on the MALA cert who could not keep their petty personal problems from clouding any issue that arose. To make matters worse, those 4 individuals were in...
It really boiled down to a couple of decision-making level people on both sides (FAA and MALA). There was a lot of bad blood there. However, to totally blame the MSP FSDO would not be accurate.
3 sides to every story: FAA, Airline, and The Truth.
Wait a minute...someone asked a question and factual responses were posted without insulting the original poster? I thought I logged into FlightInfo! ;)
Happy new year everyone. I hope the regional industry rights itself without too much chaos. :beer:
Unless the FAA comes out with a waiver, anyone who is not 23 by next August will not be allowed to act as a flight crewmember (PIC/SIC) in a Part 121 operation.
A good rule to live by.
When the FAA shows up for your checkride, rarely are they there to observe you. Generally, they show up to complete required surveillance on a Check Airman or an APD.
Yes, during that process they will be witnessing your checkride, but normally the focus is on the...
I suspect you are correct. I just don't have the hard data to back up my suspicions. I just wanted people to know that (although probably rare) companies do have the option of a FOIA request, so I'd be honest. :beer:
Ok, I see what you're saying. In that case, no. If you did not receive a pink slip (i.e. Form 8060-5 Notice of Disapproval), then that "failure" would not show up on your airman record.
Sorry for the confusion.
I may have misunderstood your question. In this case, no, the "failure" would not show up in a FOIA request as there was no certification action being done (stage checks are not certification activities).
What I was referencing is when someone takes the CFI practical test and does not pass...
I believe so. What we're talking about here are PTRS reports (insert TPS reports joke here). These are what the FAA uses to show work done (i.e. surveillance, checkrides, etc). Even DPEs and APDs are required to submits PTRS reports to the respective office.
Everyone's airman record shows...
Currently, CFI failures will not show up in a PRIA request. However, if the company which was hiring you wanted to submit a FOIA request, they would be able to see that you failed a CFI checkride.
HR 5900 will change all of this. When the pilot records section becomes effective, ALL failed...
I'm not sure about business school, but the fact that Congress recently had to pass an "ethics bill" says everything. Obviously, the leaders of our country cannot act ethically unless they have laws requiring it.
I don't expect anything different from the executive level at many companies...
I don't know if it's the worst part. I think 1st year FO pay at the regional I was hired at in 1999 was tough. However the FAA is, and will always be, a political agency. Until that changes, politics, not hard working Inspectors will rule the roost. See: Failed Rest Rules Implementation...
