As the Respondent , it is my duty

### to file a response to this Order to Show Cause stating why the relief requested in Complainant's Motions should not 

### be granted.

On December 

### S, 2.011, I submitted 

### a letterto Mr. Harper requesting that 

### we deal with the issues ln this Complaint along with the other Complaint 

### issues in the same hearing which 

### was held on March 

## n, 2012. Mr. Harper, Ignoring my request, did not combine all the issues and thus has caused more time and effort 

### be taken on 

### the part 

### ofthe FAA, Department ofTransportation and Cornerstone Aviation to have to deal with thesevery minor issues separately. He is costing the government more expense 

### by this proceeding then the government can hope to recover. Since he is even appealing the fine from the last hearing, I believe he has lost sight ofthe real reason forviolations. To make sure an operator

### is aware ofwhat is going an atthefrflightschool and to puta policy in place sa itdoes not happen again. Cornerstone Aviation on the other hand, has spent a good sum of money, investing in 

## a software program that has the many 

### "fixes" 

### so as not to repeat any of the prior violations. Our current 

### FAA inspector has seen the program and will be doing a full Inspection of our paperwork and "paperless'' software program. 

### Mrs. Carlson has set

### the appointmentdate ofJanuary 

### 9/2012. I 

### did answer the Complaint, 

### as a copy 

### of the response I submitted can be found on regulations.gov. 

### Mr. Harper even sent a letter 

### out in response to my answer stating that 

### I cannot use the 

### FAA FSDO personnel 

### as witnesses.

In my December 5, 20111etter I explained the circumstances of

### the two issues. I am 

### still without proof 

### from the side 

### ofthe 

### FAA that states that the graduation 

### Cl:!rtificate 

### and the ''records 

### certified 

### correct" signature must 

### be done simultaneously. 

### My guess 

### is this is subjective. 

### So I still feel 

### CSA does 

### not warrant 

### aviolation 

### for 

### this. Mr. Harper, 

### sometimes gets 

### his facts 

### wrong. In his prior 

### letters he kept saying that 

### SLCC was just an associate 

### of 

### CSA, so their record 

### keeping was 

### Irrelevant- only the operator's records counts. 

### If he 

### bothered to look 

### at 

### CSA's official Training Course 

### Outline, 

### SLCC is listed as 

### a satellite 

### base 

### ofCSA, thus 

### a partof

### the operator- 

### why 

### else would the FAA require that a letter of Part 141 certification (Air Agency Certificate) 

### be displayed 

### atthe 

### college? 

### They also 

### do official inspections 

### of

### CSA at

### the 

### SLCC campus, as they do atall satellite bases. With regards to the 

### Graduation Certificate that omitted the "cross country training"; the regulation 

### 141.95(b)(7) states: the graduation certificate

...must contain 

### at least the following Information: 

### "a statement 

### showing the cross-country training that the student received 

### in the 

### course of training''. I 

### explained in my previous 

### letter what**happer~ed,** 

### but did you know that 

### CSA can also 

### get violated 

### If we excluded #7 in a graduation certificate for a 

### student graduating from our Part 141 

### approved Ground School courses? Now, this Is an illustration ofwhere, 

### even the FAA, doesn't have It correct. How can a ground school student 

### (all training 

### done in a 

### classroom) do cross country training? Answer: he/she cannot and does not, 

### but the 

### FAA still wants an operator to put that statement on the certificate when it doesn't 

### even apply to their training. Just 

### another example of someone doing 

### incorrect paperwork - only this was put 

### into an FAA 

### regulation and 

### even though 

### all the operators know 

### it should not need to be 

### on a ground 

### school graduation certification, we have to do it because 

### it is 

### in the regulations, right or 

### wrong. 

### My suggestion is for Mr. Harper to withdraw the 

### Complaint as per the regulation below, and save the governmenttime to handle 

### more important 

### issues. l.J C.JI-:R. §
