Job Application and FAA Administrative Action

[iflyhigh]

Say yes and if there is a box to explain, explain. Otherwise move on. I have asked many carriers if a Warning letter is an administrative action and they all said "yes". The FAA issued a warning. I know several pilots, including myself, who have been hired by majors with a letter of warning. Fess up, take ownership and move on. That is what they are looking for.

Administrative Action = Letter of Warning or Letter of Correction. The question asked "Have you ever..." Say yes and explain.

Thanks for the replies. I was leaning towards yes to begin with, but since its suppose to be off my record I wasn't sure if it was worth mentioning.

How about recieving a FAA Letter of Investigation concerning duty limits, then recieving another letter several weeks later saying the matter has been closed with no further action required? Is that an "administrative action"?

A Letter of Investigation is just that - a letter informing you of an investigation. A "No Action Letter" is the process of closing an investigation when - no further action is required thus closing the investigation.

This is not "Administrative Action" against the pilot.

If you care to look at the 300 plus page order:

You didn't actually expect to get a clear answer did you?

Go here: http://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/airmen_certification/media/COMPRQST.pdf and see if it has, in fact, been expunged. This is the same AND ONLY source your prospective employer can gain your legal records. You will know if they request them as you have to sign a release.

If it is expunged (considering your case) the answer is "no". Big f'n deal. If the feds find it benign enough to go through the extra process of removing it from your records, that's all that matters.

If it is still in your record file, here's your process to get it cleared:

"FAA to Expunge Identity Information from Accident and Incident Records
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) released a policy statement that will result in the expunction of airman identities from written accident and incident records that are maintained in the Accident and Incident Data System (AIDS). Under this new policy, electronic accident and incident records identifying an individual will be maintained for five years from the date of the accident or incident. It is believed that after this five-year period, the information about the individual’s identity will be of little or no value.

Therefore, the individual’s name and FAA certificate number will be removed for the AIDS record. Information to remain in the report includes the case report number, the information concerning the pilot’s experience, the description of the event, the registration number of the aircraft, and the type of aircraft involved. This policy became effective November 22, 2005. For further information contact Joseph R. Standell of the Aeronautical Center Counsel, Aeronautical Center (AMC–7), at Federal Aviation Administration, 6500 S. MacArthur, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73169, or by telephone at 405-954-3296."
