HEARING DOCKET 

c)Q) Y ' I \c) l 

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), by counsel, hereby files its Complaint, 

pursuant to Rule 208 of the Rules of Practice (14 C.P.R.§ 13.208), and states as follows: 

I. 

On November 19,2014, Respondent was advised through a Notice of Proposed Civil 

Penalty that the FAA proposed to assess a civil penalty in the amount of $3,000. On 

December 15,2014, Respondent submitted a written request for a hearing. This request was 

received by the FAA on December 22,2014. 

II. 

1. Respondent is now, and at all times mentioned herein it was, the holder of Air Carrier 

Certificate No. 9MNA981K and appropriate operations specifications authorizing it to 

conduct 14 C.P.R. Part 135 on-demand operations. 

2. At all times referenced herein, Respondent's FAA approved Training Program required 

that its pilots receive 15 hours of Initial Equipment Training. 

1 
3. On or about March 4 through 6, 2013, Respondent indicated in the training records for 

Pilot Karl Dorian Joles that the Company provided Mr. Jones with 5.0 hours of Aircraft 

Ground (Modules 76-90) instruction and 10.0 hours of Aircraft Ground (Modules 91-100) 

instruction. 

4. On or about March 6, 2013, when Respondent indicated in Record of Training for Pilot 

Karl Dorian Joles that it completed the Initial Equipment Training for Mr. Joles, the 

Company had failed to provide Mr. Joles the requisite 15 hours of time. 

5. At all times referenced herein, Respondent's FAA approved Training Program required 

that its pilots are adequately trained to meet the applicable knowledge and practical testing 

requirements of§§ 135.293 through 135.301. 

6. On or about March 7, 2013, Pilot Bradley Ray James presented himself at the Las Vegas 

Flight Standards District Office for the purpose of completing a proficiency check in 

accordance with 14 C.F.R. Section 135.293(a). 

7. The testing was discontinued after Mr. James notified the Aviation Safety Inspector of his 

lack of knowledge regarding the lFR elements of the test and the fact that they had not been 

covered in his company training. 

2 
III. 

1. By reason of the foregoing facts and circumstances, Respondent violated the 

following Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR): 

(a) Section 135.323(a)(l) when Respondent, a certificate holder that is 

required to have a training program under§ 135.341, failed to establish and implement a 

training program that satisfies the requirements of this subpart and ensures that each 

crewmember, aircraft dispatcher, flight instructor and check airman is adequately trained 

to perform his or her assigned duties. 

(b) Section 135.341(a) when Respondent, a certificate holder that uses 

more than one pilot in the certificate holder's operations, failed to establish and maintain 

an approved pilot training program, that is appropriate to the operations to which each 

pilot is to be assigned and to ensure that they are adequately trained to meet the 

applicable knowledge and practical testing requirements of§§ 135.293 through 135.30!. 

2. Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 4630l(a) and 14 C.F. R. § 13.305, Respondent is subject to a 

civil penalty of$11,000 for each violation of the FAR. 

3. Under the facts and circumstances ofthis case, a civil penalty of $3,000 is appropriate. 

3 
WHEREFORE, the Federal Aviation Administration, by counsel, respectfully requests 

that the administrative law judge enter an order that Respondent be assessed a civil penalty in the 

amount of$3,000.
