Response: See response no. 3, above. 

Interrogatory No. 6: With respect to each expert you expect to call as a witness, state the 

subject matter on which the expert is expected to testify, and state the substance of the facts and 

opinions to which the expert is expected to testify, and a summary of the grounds for each such 

opinion. 

Response: Dr. Perry will testify as to the atmospheric conditions at the Salt Lake City Airport 

on December 7, 2011. He will refer to government weather data and offer opinions about the 

formation and sublimation of frost on aircraft N426SW prior to flight 7770. He will account for 

the arrival temperature of the aircraft frame and wing surfaces, fuel temperature, atmospheric 

temperature, wind, solar radiation, dew point, air pressure and other factors to arrive at the 

conclusion that no frost was present on the wing surfaces at takeoff. 

Interrogatory No.7: Describe with specificity all of the facts which you anticipate presenting in 

the course of the NTSB hearing in this matter pertaining to the avoidance or mitigation of the 

sanction sought by the FAA in this case. 

Response: Sky West is making no argument for mitigation. Its only argument is the FAA does 

not have evidence, and therefore cannot meet its burden of proof, to show that Flight #7770 took 

off at 8:08 a.m. on December 7, 2011 with frost on its wings. 

Interrogatory No. 8: State each and every reason for SkyWest's denial of Section II, Paragraph 

7-11 of the Administrator's Complaint. 

Response: SkyWest agrees that Flight #7770 departed Salt Lake City, Utah, but the FAA has 

presented no evidence that frost was adhering to wing surfaces at takeoff. The Administrator's 

case is based on speculation and is not supported by enough evidence to meet the burden of 

proof. 

Interrogatory No. 9: State each and every fact SkyWest considers to be mitigating in this case. 

Response: SkyWest will not argue mitigation in this case as there is no underlying violation. 

3

Initial Summary 

Comment By 018181 Tom Gibbs On 12/8/2011 

Comment On 12-07-2011 at or around 11:00 am MST at spot E36 the 3 FAA inspectors (Benjamin 

Blauer, Doug Stow, and Aaron Perkins) presented themselves at the boarding door aircraft N426SW and 

asked FO Dennis Burr and myself if we would talk to them. We agreed and all took a seat in the 

passenger cabin of the aircraft. At this time inspector Blauer informed us that inspector Perkins had seen 

that we had departed KSLC bound for KDXZ from E1 as SkyWest flight 7770 without deicing. I informed 

him that this was correct because we had complied with SP 2800 during the walk around and that it was 

found that our wings were clean and clear of any contaminants. I stated that we had just arrived from 

KDXZ as SkyWest flight 7768 and had a turn time of 25 minutes and that it was sunny, skyaPMs clear 

and the temperature and dew point were some 7 degrees F apart. Inspector Perkins seemed very 

surprised by this and stated he didnaPMt know the aircraft was on a turn. At this point they showed us a 

picture of a wing that appeared to me to have water on it, however I could not tell if it was a CRJ wing or 

the wing of aircraft N426SW. I asked if they had a picture of the aircraft tail number along with a picture 

of any contaminants they said they did but did not show me any of those pictures. It was at this point that 

inspector Blauer informed us that inspector Perkins did witness that we had frost on a wing prior to push 

back. I informed them it was unlikely and that inspector Perkins may be mistaken. However they pushed 

the issue and informed us that we should take all possible measures to report the incident through proper 

company and FAA channels. 

The following is an e-mail from FO Anderson: 

Mr. Dave Aquino, 

I was on flight 7770 from SLC to DXZ on December 7th, 2011. I was riding to DXZ on company 

business. 

It has come to my attention that the pilots of this flight are 

being accused of neglecting to de-ice when it was required. This is 

simply not true. I am a current line pilot with nearly 7 years of line 

experience and over 5000 hours in this aircraft. I am as qualified as anyone in this company to see the 

need for de-icing. 

When I arrived at the airplane I stopped in the cockpit to say 

hellp to the pilots. They told me that they had just come from DXZ. 

was assigned seat 6B. There was no one seated in 6A. When I sat down I 

looked out the window at the wing as I was wondering if we would need 

to de-ice. I was wondering how long we would need to sit on the ground 

and looked for myself to see that the plane was still clean from flying 

in that morning. There was no need to de-ice. 

Regards, 

Dan Anderson

Initial Summary 

Comment By 031665 Dennis Burr On 12/9/2011 

Comment Aaron Perkins from the FAA approached us believing that we departed SLC to DXZ with 

frozen contamination on our wings. The following is an explanation of what happened with flight number 

7770: We flew from DXZ to SLC. Before we departed DXZ our wings were free of frozen contamination. 

During our flight we did not encounter any rain snow or clouds. We landed in SLC, the passengers 

deplaned, I did the walk around inspection. My walk around inspection included a tactile check because it 

was colder than 5 degrees C. This included touching leading edge of the wing, upper wing surface, 

aileron, spoiler, and flap. I found no frozen contamination. The temperature was negative 4 and dew point 

was negative 9, there was no fog, no mist, or haze. Later I checked the fuel panel. We were on the 

ground 41 minutes from door open until door closed. I never saw any frost on the wings. We proceed like 

normal. We flew to DXZ, then flew back to SLC.
