7. CSA will present go over the documents then and now -how they are obtained in the new software 

program. 

8. Since this has been ongoing for a year, it is impossible to recall exact dates of conversations and with 

whom-~ have- discussed the matters alleged. i[}_ tbaComplaint.. ltJs. most likely limited to persons 

affiliated with the flight school as they have received instruction so the occurrences will not happen 

again. 

9. CSA's Part 141 TCO and training documents. A computer with the new software will also be used. 

CSA must have internet access during the hearing for the program to function. 

--~-10-.-S-e-e statement below. 

REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION 

1-4 The FAA already has copies of the documents- you should not need additional copies of the 

materials. The software designer of the new flight school training program has the computer 

program fullyfoo£tiGna~ aruiwH~be demGnstrating it at the hearing. 

REQUEST FO ADMISSIONS 

1. I am not familiar with the FAA order 

2. Not sure if CSA qualifies for Federal Government Programs. That is a broad statement. What 

programs are you talktng abeut? 

3. CSA has been in business since July, 2003. 

4. CSA has many financial obligations at this time and being charged $5000 for a small paperwork 

mistake is an unreasonable demand for any small business.

Honorable Richard Goodwin: 

I am requesting from the FAA copies from their Program Tracking and Recording System, all 

entries for the last four years concerning Cornerstone Aviation. I want to see if there were any "on 

the spot corrections" made during that period of time by any FAA inspectors. 

It has been brought to my attention that there are specific procedures the FAA is to follow when 

they find "mistakes" at a 141 flight school before they proceed with seeking counsel and fines. I 

do not believe CSA was given the opportunity to make an "on the spot" . correction for our 

violations.
