For anyone who might have some knowledge or experience with this matter.
Let's say you had a FAR violation some years ago, resulting in a suspension of your certificate. The statute of limitations has since passed, so that your Airman Report sent to prospective employers shows a clean record. What is the legal obligation to report this violation on an application form? (many ask if you've ever had your certificate suspended or revoked) Can and will they find out if you answer no? Is that No answer technically (if not ethically) correct? I have a problem with someone telling an outright lie in response to a direct question, but on the other hand why muddy up the situation if no one expects you to come clean? Any thoughts on or actual experience with this type of situation out there?
