HEARING DOCKET 

PETITIONER'S LIST OF WITNESSES /EXHIBITS 

Renaissance Jet, Inc. (RJI), by and through counsel, pursuant to the Court's Scheduling 

Order and Rule 26(a)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, serves the following List 

of Witnesses/Exhibits upon the Administrator. 

A. The name, and if known, the address and telephone number of each 

individual likely to have discoverable information that the disclosing party 

may use to support its claims or defenses, unless solely for impeachment, 

identifying the subjects of the information. 

Mark Palmer, 15105-D John J. Delaney Drive, PMB 302, Charlotte, N.C. 28277. 

Mr. Palmer is aware of the circumstances involving each claim made or alleged 

by the Administrator in this case, and he will offer facts to rebut such claims and 

will provide evidence supporting the answer provided by the Petitioner. 

Specifically, he will testify that each of the components claimed by the FAA as 

discrepancies were working fine and were not inoperative. He will testify that 

prior to his acquisition of Renaissance jet in September 2011 that the former 

owner Barry Stroud owned and was responsible for the operations of 

Renaissance Jet, LLC. At all times relevant in this matter, Mr. Stroud was the 

Director of Operations. Any act of omission was a direct result of Mr. Stoud's 

failure to properly oversee compliance with company policies. In addition, he 

will testify that any flight operations that may have occurred that were not 

signed off as corrected were not discrepancies or inoperative components at alL 

He will testify that the flight crews who operated the aircraft n flights 
complained of by the Administrator were disciplined by the FAA for their 

actions and they were subsequently retrained on the proper procedure for 

recording maintenance discrepancies. Mr. Palmer will testify that Renaissance 

jet, LLC was acquired by XS Aviation, LLC and thatthe FAA Air Carrier Certificate 

that was issued to X8 Aviation, LLC was more than a "name change' as has been 

alleged by the FAA. Mr. Palmer will testify as to the specifics of the corporate 

transaction. 

Russell Viall, 7 Airport Park Blvd., Latham, N.Y. 12100-1439 Phone: 518-785-

5660. 

Mr. Viall was previously employed by the Petitioner and is knowledgeable 

regarding to the condition of the aircraft that is the subject of this action, 

including whether the alleged discrepancies were in fact discrepancies at alL He 

will testify as to the corrective action by the GSO FSDO against the flight crew for 

any flight operations that occurred where maintenance entries were not 

completed, even though there was no actual discrepancy. He will also testify as 

to the degree of compliance of the Petitioner with respect to the FARs and the 

Operations Specifications of the Petitioner's Air Carrier Certificate. 

Ronald Dietz, 15105-D john j. Delaney Drive, PMB 302, Charlotte, N.C. 28277 

Mr. Dietz will testify as a fact witness and as an expert regarding the 

maintenance procedures of the former Renaissance jet and he will discuss the 

relationship between the flight crew and maintenance personnel in addressing 

items recorded in a maintenance log, and the procedure for clearing such items. 

He will offer an opinion as to whether the aircraft in question was unairworthy 

at the time of flights referenced in the Final Order of Civil Penalty. He will 

address the issue of improper write-ups by flight crews and the response by the 

certificate holder and the FAA to the situation. 

Scott Barringer, 164 NW Broad St., Southern Pines, NC 28387. Phone 910-695-

0325. 

Mr. Barringer is expected to testify as to the compliance with maintenance 

procedures by the Petitioner, and he will specifically address the allegations set 

forth in the Administrator's Complaint. 

john Graham, Combrinck-Graham, GSO FSDO, 1301 S. Terminal Road,

Ref. Docket 2012EA390030 

Attn: John Combrinck-Graham, 

Dear John. 

I kindly ask fur you to review the following letter and records to clarify our findings per items 

(4,5,13,14) referenced in the investigative report. 

From my review of the aircraft maintenance reoords, it appears that the claims that AD 2001-03-

06 was indeed complied with and that the aircraft (241 TR) did not over:fty the time limits 

imposed by the AD. The documentation that we reviewed consisted of airframe entries from 

2007 and 2012. They are included with this letter. 

AD 2001-03-06 was previously complied with on June 21, 2007 @ 1694.9 Hobbs. With a 400 

hour recurrent inspection criteria, this would make the next re-inspection of the AD 2001-03-06, 

Bleed Air Supply Tube @ 2094.9. Review of the records from 6/2007 and 212012 showed the 

AD not being overdue and the subsequent re-inspection being performed by Landmark Aviation 

on Febmary 2, 2012@ 2093.4per WO. A19-12-01244. No discrepancies were found. 

Please feel free to contact us to disCilSS your findings and conclusion. We respectfully request 

that you address our AD compliance with Zachary Berman, FAA legal counsel who is currently 

involved in an enfOrcement action regarding this issue. 

Kind Regards, 

Scott W. Barringer 

Director of Maintenance
