PAZ AVIATION, INC., Location of Hearing: Miami, FL 

Respondent 

----------------------~/ 

MEMORANDUM OF LAW 

PAZ AVIATION, INC. ("PAZ"), by and through its undersigned counsel hereby 

submits its Memorandum of Law in support of a Motion to Dismiss this action on the 

basis oflaches. 

This action is based upon an alleged violation of the Federal Aviation 

Regulations ("PARs") that allegedly occurred when PAZ worked on certain components 

between July 30,2009 through April27, 2011. The Federal Aviation Administration 

("FAA") became aware of what they considered a possible violation in mid-June of2011 

and inspected PAZ facility on June 20 through 21, 2011. The FAA issued its Letter of 

Investigation June 23,201 L The FAA took no action on this matter for neady a year until 

it issued a Notice of Proposed Civil Penalty on May 24,2012. PAZ responded to the LOI 

on June 4, 2012 and on Aprill8, 2013 the parties participated in an informal conference. 

Thereafter the FAA filed its Complaint herein on October 7, 2014. PAZ filed its Answer 

and Affirmative Defenses ("A&AD") on November 5, 2014. Included in its A&AD is a 

defense based upon laches resulting from the FAA's failure to timely bring this matter 

which operates to the prejudice of PAZ. This Court, having reviewed the A&AD, issued

its Order advising it was treating the Affinnati ve Defense of Laches as a Motion to 

Dismiss and requiring the pmties to submit a brief and proposed Order. This 

Memorandum is timely filed in accordance with the briefing schedule issued in this 

Coutt's Order of December 23, 2014. 

PAZ alleged in its fourth affirmative defense that: 

For its fourth cif]irmative defense, Respondent alleges that the units it serviced 

and which are the subject of the Administrator's complaint were serviced between 

July 2009 through April of20ll; that the FARs only require Respondent to 

maintain its records of service for 2 years; that the Administrator knew of these 

events years ago, but failed to timely bring this action; and, as a result of the 

Administrator's delay, Respondent has been prejudicedji·om the loss of witnesses, 

loss of records, and or loss of witnesses' memmy of the events. Based upon the 

foregoing, the matter should be dismissed based upon laches and/or estoppel. 

The FAA's civil penalty cases are subject to a five (5) year statute of limitations 

as set forth in 28 USC §2462. In addition to this statute of limitations, the FAA has also 

recognized the equitable defense of laches if it can be shown that the FAA's delay in 

prosecuting an action has resulted in prejudice to the Respondent. Although this action 

was initiated before the five (5) year statute of limitations expired, the FAA's delay in 

prosecuting this matter has resulted in prejudice as is set forth below. 

PAZ is a Part 145 repair facility for aviation components. As set forth in the 

Affidavit of Jay Allen (Exhibit "A"), President of PAZ, PAZ does not have class rating 

for the components it is authorized to service. Instead, PAZ has a Capability List that 

specifically itemizes the components by manufacturer and model that PAZ is authorized 

to service. In order to have an item added to the Capability List, PAZ must apply for such 

authority and show that it has the tools, test equipment, technical data, manuals, training, 

and facilities that are necessary to perfmm service on the component for which authority

is sought. Documentation supporting the above requirements are submitted to the FAA 

and the FAA inspector in charge of PAZ' operation, who then physically inspects the 

facility to ensure compliance with the F ARs. Only after all the above requirements are 

met is a component added to PAZ' Capability List. Attached is a copy of PAZ' 

Capability List issued in 2008 by PAZ' prior Principal Maintenance Inspector ("PM!") 

which specifically lists PAZ' authority to work on these components which are the 

subject of the FAA's Complaint. This is proof that PAZ had, prior to the issuance of this 

Capability List, the necessary tooling, test equipment, manuals, data, etc. required by the 

PARs to service these components. See Affidavit of Jay Allen attached. 

Subsequent to the issuance of the FAA's LOI and PAZ' response, it appears the 

engineer consultant who assisted in creating the blueprints for the test equipment required 

to service the components listed in the FAA's Complaint left the State of Florida and, as 

of submitting this Memorandum, PAZ lms been unable to locate him. This witness, Mr. 

Jack Batista, would testify in support of PAZ about his creation of the documents, 

blueprints, and other items required to show that PAZ' privately built test equipment was 

equivalent to that required by the manufacturer of the components for the testing of the 

components and was approved by the FAA for equivalency by PAZ's then PM!. 

At the time ofthe inspection of PAZ' facility which resulted in this action, PAZ 

had sent the subject test equipment for these components out to Ledo Industrial Machine 

Shop ("Ledo") for modification, The subject test equipment consisted of a single test 

stand that was capable of testing both hydraulic and pneumatic components. The purpose 

of having the test stand modified was to separate it into two separate test stands, one 

designed solely for pneumatic components and the other designed solely for hydraulic

components. As a result, the test stand was not at PAZ' facility on the date the PM! 

inspected the premises. The test stands have since been returned from Ledo and have 

been approved for PAZ's use by the FAA and PAZ still maintains the components listed 

in the Administrator's Complaint on its Capability List. Subsequent to the FAA's LOI, 

Ledo has gone out of business. PAZ is unable to locate the principals ofLedo. As a 

result, PAZ has lost a second witness who could testify to corroborate the above 

information and provide supp01ting documentation. 

The FAA has recognized the defense of laches. PAZ bears the burden of proof to 

show laches is applicable, as is true with all Affirmative Defenses. In order to carry the 

burden of proof, PAZ must show that the agency's pursuit of the case was inexcusably 

dilatory, that the delay resulted in a loss of evidence for witnesses supporting PAZ 

position, or that PAZ changed its position in a manner that would not have occurred, but 

for the delay. In ReUnited Parcel Service, FAA Docket No. CP95WP0135, 1995 FAA 

LEXIS 400 (July 26, 1995), citing In The Matter of John J. Carroll, FAA Order 90-21 

(August 16, 1990). 

As set forth in the Affidavit of Jay Allen, two witnesses and the documents they 

may possess were lost as a result of the FAA's delay of over fow· years in bringing this 

matter to prosecution. It is clear the FAA has known about this matter since June 20, 

2011. No new facts were discovered, the FAA has conducted no additional investigation. 

Failure to file within the statute of limitations which would have been a basis for 

dismissal, see In The Matter of Aviation Brake Service, Inc., 2006 FAA LEXIS 226 

(March 9, 2006). The evidence clearly shows that both witnesses and evidence have been 

lost as a result of the FAA's failure to timely prosecute this matter. The FAA has no

AFFIDAVIT OF JAY ALLEN 

Personally appeared before me the undersigned authority duly authorized to 

administer oaths and take acknowledgments, Jay Allen, who npon being duly sworn did 

depose and say: 

1. My name is Jay Allen, I am over the age of 18 years, and I am a resident 

ofMiami-Dade County, Florida. 

2. I am the president and shareholder of PAZ AVIATION, INC. (hereinafter 

referred to as "PAZ") 

3. PAZ does not hold a Class rating for component testing, repair or 

overhaul. PAZ' FAA approved capabilities are limited to specific components listed by 

manufacturer and model on PAZ' Capability List. In order to have these items added to 

the Capability List, PAZ had to show it has the required tooling, test equipment (or 

equivalent equipment), manuals, data, and training all of which was approved by PAZ' 

previous Principal Maintenance Inspector ("PM!"). 

4. Jack Batista, was an aviation consultant PAZ hired to assist in PAZ' 

application for approval of PAZ' repair station Capability List. He assisted in preparing

the drawings and other data that was used to show that the privately made tooling and test 

equipment were equivalent to the manufacturer's recommended test equipment. Based 

upon that data and actual inspection by PAZ' then PM!, in2008 the FAA issued PAZ' 

Capability List listing the components which the FAA now alleges that PAZ did not have 

approved equipment to test. See attached Capability List issued by the FAA and 

suppmiing documents. Since the FAA issued its Letter oflnvestigation ("LOI"), Jack 

Batista has moved out of State and PAZ has been unable to locate him. 

5. The equipment (a test stand), which is the subject of the FAA's 

Complaint, was capable of testing both pneumatic and hydraulic components. On or 

about June 10,2011, the test stand was sent toLedo Industrial Machine Shop for 

modification into two stand-alone test stands that are documented and blue printed for 

equivalency to the fixtures shown in the Boeing Component Maintenance Manual. That 

is the reason the test stand was not at PAZ when the FAA performed its June 20-21, 20 I 1 

inspection. Since the FAA issued its LOI, Ledo has gone out of business and PAZ has 

been unable to locate the principals of Ledo. 

6. As a result in the FAA's delay in bringing this action, two key witnesses 

who could corroborate my testimony and their underlying records have been lost, 

significantly prejudicing PAZ' ability to defend itself and corroborate the validity of 

PAZ' defense.
