ORDER FINDING RESPONDENT IN DEFAULT 

On June 19, 2015, an Order Setting Deadline for the Respondent to Show Cause and to 

File an Answer, and Granting/Denying Other Relief was filed. 

Brief Discussion: 

Pursuant to 14 C.F.R. § 13.209(f), a responding party who has not filed a timely answer 

to a Complaint may avoid a default finding by presenting good cause reasons (if any) for the 

failure to file a timely Answer. The June 19, 2015 Order provided the prose Respondent, Select 

Aviation Services, Inc., an opportunity to both respond to the FAA's June 17, 2015 Motion for 

Decision, and also to state what good cause reason(s), if any, it might have for its failure to file a 

timely Answer. 

The June 19, 2015 Order set a deadline of July 3, 2015, for the Respondent to file a 

written Response to the FAA's June 17, 2015 Renewed Motion for Decision, and a written 

Answer to the January 22, 2015 Complaint. This June 19, 2015 Order also warned the 

Respondent that failure to comply with the Order could result in the Respondent being deemed to 

be in default, the allegations in the C011}plaint being deemed admitted, and the FAA's June 1 7, 

2015 Renewed Motion for Decision ("Motion") being granted. 

On July 3, 2015, the prose Respondent, Select Aviation Services, Inc., failed to file 

either a written Response and/or a written Answer. As oftoday's date, the Respondent has failed 

to appear in, or defend, this action. 
Pursuant to 14 C.F.R. §§ 13.209 and 13.218, and after reviewing all pleadings and 

documents, as well as all relevant caselaw, decisions, regulations, statutory authority, and being 

fully advised; 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED: 

1. The pro se Respondent, Select Aviation Services, Inc., has failed to provide any good 

cause file an Answer to the Complaint, failed to and has abandoned any defense of this 

case. 

2. The pro se Respondent is in default. 

3. A separate order will issue shortly on the FAA's June 17, 2015 Renewed Motion for 

Decision on the merits and assessment of a proposed civil penalty.
