Index of Administrator's Decisions and Orders In Civil Penalty Actions; Publication

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of publication.

SUMMARY: This notice constitutes the required quarterly publication of an index of the Administrator's decisions and orders in civil penalty cases. This publication represents the quarter ending on June 30, 2000. This publication ensures that the agency is in compliance with statuory indexing requirements.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James S. Dillman, Assistant Chief Counsel for Litigation (AGC-400), Federal Aviation Administration, 400 7th Street, SW., Suite PL 200-A, Washington, DC 20490; telephone (202) 366-4118.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Administrative Procedure Act requires Federal agencies to maintain and make available for public inspection and copying current indexes containing identifying information regarding materials required to be made available or published. 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(2), In a notice issued on July 11, 1990, and published in the Federal Register (55 FR 29148; July 17, 1990), the FAA announced the public availability of several indexes and summaries that provide identifying information about the decisions and orders issued by the Administrator under the FAA's civil penalty assessment authority and the rules of practice governing hearings and appeals of civil penalty actions. 14 CFR Part 13, Subpart G.

The FAA maintains an index of the Administrator's decisions and orders in civil penalty actions organized by order number and containing identifying information about each decision or order. The FAA also maintains a cumulative subject-matter index and digests organized by order number. The indexes are published on a quarterly basis (i.e., January, April, July, and October.)

[[Page 47558]]

The FAA first published these indexes and digests for all decisions and orders issued by the Administrator through September 30, 1990. 55 FR 45984; October 31, 1990. The FAA announced in that notice that only the subject-matter index would be published cumulatively and that the order number index would be non-cumulative. The FAA announced in a later notice that the order number indexes published in January would reflect all of the civil penalty decisions for the previous year. 58 FR 4055; 1/19/93.

The previous quarterly publications of these indexes have appeared in the Federal Register as follows:

Civil Penalty Actions--Orders Issued By the Administrator

Digests

(Current as of June 30, 2000)

The digests of the Administrator's final decisions and orders are arranged by order number, and briefly summarize key points of the decision. The following compilation of digests includes all final decisions and orders issued by the Administrator from April 1, 1999, to June 30, 1999. The FAA will publish non-cumulative supplements to this compilation on a quarterly basis (e.g., April, July, October, and January of each year).

These digests do not constitute legal authority, and should not be cited or relied upon as such. The digests are not intended to serve as a substitute for proper legal research. Parties, attorneys, and other interested persons should always consult the full text of the Administrator's decisions before citing them in any context.

In the Matter of USA Jet Airlines, Inc.

Order No. 2008-8 (5/9/2000)

Appeal Dismissed. USA Jet Airlines withdrew its appeal; therefore, its appeal is dismissed.

In the Matter of Tundra Copters, Inc.

Order No. 2000-9 (5/11/2000)

Appeal Dismissed. Tundra Copters failed to perfect its appeal by filing an appeal brief. Therefore, its appeal is dismissed.

[[Page 47573]]

In the Matter of Johnny Johnson

Order No. 2000-10 (5/11/200)

Appeal Dismissed. Mr. Johnson failed to perfect his appeal by filing an appeal brief; therefore, his appeal is dismissed.

In the Matter of Europex Inc.

Order No. 2000-11 (5/11/2000)

Appeal Dismissed. Europex has provided no explanation for its late filing of its notice of appeal; therefore, its appeal is dismissed.

In the Matter of Evergreen Helicopters of Alaska, Inc.

Order No. 2000-12 (6/8/2000)

Dismissal affirmed. Under a contract with the United Nations, Evergreen transported passengers on a U.S.-registered aircraft as part of a peacekeeping mission, using Angolan pilots on 19 flights that took place entirely inside Angola. The pilots held only Angolan airline transport pilot certificates; they did not hold U.S. airline transport pilot certificates. The Administrator rejected Complainant's argument that Evergreen violated 14 CFR 135.234(a) by using pilots who lacked U.S airline transport pilot certificates. Regardless of what the drafters intended, the regulation on its face does not require that a pilot-in-command hold a U.S.-issued certificate. Moreover, 14 CFR 61.3 expressly permits the use of a certificate by the country in which the aircraft is operated. This plain meaning interpretation of the regulations is consistent with a prior written interpretation issued by the agency.

In the Matter of Empire Airlines, Inc.

Order No. 2000-13 (6/8/2000)

Failure to Use Approved Data when making a Major Repair. Conair Aerospace repaired the left engine mount of one of Empire Airlines' Fairchild F-27F aircraft using sleeve repair data set forth in Advisory Circular (AC) 43.13-1A. Neither the Fairchild F-27 overhaul nor structural repair manual provide for sleeve repairs. Instead, the Fairchild overhaul and structural repair manuals provide for repair of non-negligible engine mount corrosion by a patch repair, insertion or replacement, and prohibit patch repairs if the damage is in the middle third of the tube. In this case, the corrosion extended into the middle third of the tube.

Under Section 121.379, a certificate holder may approve an aircraft for return to service after maintenance performed by another person but major repairs or major alterations must be done in accordance with technical data approved by the Administrator. It was undisputed that the left engine mount repair constituted a major repair, that Empire was obligated to use approved data, and that the Fairchild F-27 series overhaul and structural repair manuals contained approved data for a major repair of that aircraft. The sleeve repair was not included in either of these manuals as approved for the repair of the Fairchild F- 27F's engine mount.

AC-43.13-1A is not normally considered to be approved data for a major repair, but it may be used as a basis for approval. There was no evidence that Empire or Conair had sought the approval of a DER for a sleeve repair of the left engine mount.

A sleeve repair was approved for an engine mount of another model aircraft, the Fairchild FH-227. The fact that a sleeve repair may be approved data for the repair of one model aircraft (i.e., the Fairchild FH-227) does not mean necessarily that a sleeve repair is approved for the same type of damage to another similar aircraft (i.e., the Fairchild F-27F). There may be subtle differences that would make a sleeve repair appropriate for the FH-227 and not for the F-27F. Aviation safety demands that maintenance personnel not assume that approved data for the repair of one specific aircraft can be used as approved data for a major repair on a different aircraft.

Empire argued that it was not precluded from using a sleeve repair because the manuals did not specifically prohibit the use of sleeve repairs. The Administrator held that it is unreasonable to expect the manufacturer to have listed all of the repairs that would not be appropriate for any given damage, and hence, the manufacturer's silence cannot be regarded as tacit approval of a repair.

The Administrator rejected Empire's argument that it was entitled to rely on the services performed by Conair. Empire's director of quality assurance and its customer coordinator were at the Conair facility when the repair was accomplished, and its customer coordinator observed the damage and the repair. The airworthiness release was signed by a Conair employee acting on Empire's behalf.

An air carrier cannot delegate away its primary responsibility for the airworthiness of its aircraft. While there may be certain limited circumstances in which an air carrier might not be held responsible for maintenance and inspections performed by a contractor or vendor, no such reasons exist in this case.

The Administrator denied Empire's appeal and affirmed the initial decision assessing a $5,000 civil penalty.

In the Matter of Warbelow's Air Ventures, Inc.

Order No. 2000-14 (6/8/2000)

Reconsideration Denied. In a timely petition to reconsider FAA Order No. 2000-3, which assessed a $6,500 civil penalty, Warbelow's renews two previous arguments. First, Warbelow's again challenges the credibility of its former Director of Maintenance, who testified that he failed to ensure that the screws on several fuel pumps were torques to the proper pressure. Second, Warbelow's again argues that the pumps must have been torques to the proper pressure because they did not leak in service. Neither argument is new; both were decided by the law judge and the Administrator. The Rules of Practice provide that the Administrator may summarily dismiss repetitious petitions to reconsider.

The only new argument in Warbelow's petition is its challenge to the factual accuracy of the following statement in FAA Order 2000-3: ``Warbelow's demoted and fired [the Director of Maintenance] after he admitted to the FAA inspectors that he had been using an improper method to modify the fuel pumps.'' Warbelow's is correct that it actually fired the Director of Maintenance before he indicated at the hearing that he failed to use a torque wrench to ensure the proper pressure on the fuel pump screws. This factual error, however does not affected the outcome of this case. A law judge's credibility determinations are entitled to deference on appeal. The law judge was well aware of the Director of Maintenance's possible motives to misrepresent how he reassembled the fuel pumps, and yet the law judge specifically stated in his initial decision that he believed his testimony. Warbelow's has failed to provide sufficient grounds to overturn the law judge's credibility determinations, which were based on his personal observations of the witnesses.
