3 JUDGE GOODWIN: This is the case of 

4 Aero Micronesia, FAA Case 2012-0469. 

5 Counsel, will you identify yourself 

6 for the record, please? 

7 MR. BOBERTZ: Yes, Your Honor. 

8 Don Bobertz, Counsel for the 

9 Administrator. 

10 JUDGE GOODWIN: Mr. Quinn? 

11 MR. QUINN: I'm Mike Quinn from Asia 

12 Pacific Airlines. 

13 JUDGE GOODWIN: Mr. BOBERTZ, I got the 

14 emails that you sent me that had the complaints. 

15 I'll take a look at them later, but I did get 

16 them at the office. 

17 Just so you know, I have -- you know, 

18 I telecommute a lot, so I have trouble sometimes 

19 reading the emails at the office. I, typically, 

20 forward them to my personal email, which I did, 

21 but I'll take a look at them. 

22 Mr. Bobertz, did you want to make an

1 opening statement? 

2 MR. BOBERTZ: Briefly, Your Honor. 

3 Thank you. 

4 The evidence in this case will show 

5 that the Flight Operations Training Manual that 

6 Aero Micronesia maintained at its training 

7 facility in Sanford, Florida, was four revisions 

8 behind, or 22 months out of date, and that the 

9 general operating manual that Aero Micronesia 

10 maintained at its training facility was one 

11 revision behind, also 22 months out of date. 

12 And, based on these facts, the 

13 Respondent violated FAR 121.137 (a), which 

14 requires that a certificate holder furnish manual 

15 changes in addition to its personnel. 

16 We will call FAA Aviation Safety 

17 Inspector Clarence Kanae to testify. Inspector 

18 Kanae discovered the outdated manuals during an 

19 investigation at Aero Micronesia's training 

20 facility in Florida.

(202) 234-4433 

Thank you, Your Honor.

1 to make an opening now, or do you want to reserve 

2 until your case? It's up to you. 

3 MR. QUINN: I'm sorry, sir. Could you 

4 say that again? 

5 JUDGE GOODWIN: You can make an opening 

6 statement now, or you can procedurally, the 

7 Respondent can make one right after the FAA 

8 talks, or they can do it before your case. It 

9 doesn't make any difference to the Court. 

10 MR. QUINN: I would like to make an 

11 opening statement. 

12 JUDGE GOODWIN: Okay. 

13 MR. QUINN: The period of time during 

14 which this particular event occurred, late 

15 December and the first half of 2011, which was a 

16 very difficult one for Asia Pacific Airlines, I 

17 had been having a lot of trouble dealing with the 

18 Honolulu Office. I'm referring to the 

19 Certificate Management Office, and our 

20 inspectors, because they had taken some actions 

21 against the airline that were found to be untrue, 

22 falsely charged.

1 MR. BOBERTZ: Objection. Argument. 

2 Relevance. 

3 MR. QUINN: And so, I had hired --

4 JUDGE GOODWIN: I'm going to give him 

5 some latitude with this. 

6 MR. QUINN: I had hired a former 

7 FAA inspector named Bob Resl ing to become the 

8 Vice President of Operations for my airline, to 

9 help get some of this stuff straightened out. 

10 And, we were well on the way to doing 

11 that, particularly, with the Training Department, 

12 because the Training Department had been going 

13 through a transition ln Florida. We had hired 

14 another company to do it. That company resigned, 

15 and so we were in the process of changing over to 

16 having an internal FAA-approved program. 

17 The former FAA Airlines Inspector that 

18 I had hired died suddenly in his sleep on 

19 December 1, 2010, and I notified the FAA of this, 

20 and I called Mr. -- Inspector Kanae and said that 

21 I would like for him to call off his trip to 

22 Florida, in particular, because there was no 

(202) 234·4433 

NEAL R. GROSS

1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE .. N.W

1 training going on. You know, there was no FAA, 

2 or there was no Asia Pacific personnel in Florida 

3 at the time. 

4 I was completely tied up with the 

5 death of my Vice President, Bob Res ling. 

6 Inspector Kanae decided that he was going to make 

7 this trip anyway, and as a courtesy I had my 

8 training person drive 40 miles to meet him. 

9 And, I might add that, you know, this 

10 was a courtesy meeting between our airline and 

11 the FAA, to help them get through some ATOS 

12 questions, which at the time they were pushing on 

13 our airline, a failed program that subsequently 

14 has been dropped by the FAA. 

15 At any rate, when Inspector Kanae met 

16 with Mr. Gazda, our training person, he requested 

17 to see the manuals. He didn't mention that he 

18 wanted to see these manuals prior to Mr. Gazda 

19 driving 40 miles to meet him at an off -site 

20 facility. And so, Mr. Gazda was able to get a 

21 hold of somebody that lived near his home and 

22 asked him to retrieve the documents from his

1 garage, where they were stored. 

2 That was done, and the manuals turned 

3 out to be deficient. On querying Mr. Gazda later 

4 on, it was determined that he had all of the 

5 revisions in question. They were in the bottom of 

6 a box in his garage. 

7 And so, I discussed this with 

8 Clarence, and everyone involved. We communicated 

9 with him, I guess, by phone and email, and he 

10 decided to press on with this case. 

11 And so, from a moral point of view, we 

12 just think that this was over the top. He didn't 

13 give us any slack whatsoever. There was 

14 absolutely no training going on. These manuals 

15 were never used during the process of training. 

16 We provided sufficient evidence to the 

17 FAA that we, in fact, met the requirement of the 

18 FAR that they cited, by producing documents which 

19 are part of this case saying that we had sent the 

20 revisions to the manuals in this case to Mr. 

21 Gazda. 

22 And then, they decided that they were

1 going to change the charge. 

2 MR. BOBERTZ: Objection, Your Honor. 

3 I guess this is fine if we are going 

4 to what we are really doing is testifying 

5 here. And, at some point are we going to do this 

6 and then testify again? 

7 JUDGE GOODWIN: The Court is going to 

8 consider this as opening argument, not testimony, 

9 because he's not sworn. 

10 Because he's pro se, we give some 

11 latitude, you know. 

12 Mr. Quinn, the purpose of the opening 

13 statement is just to outline your case. I' 11 

14 allow you to give testimony later. 

15 MR. QUINN: I'll wrap it up then. 

16 I mean, after we demonstrated to Mr. 

17 Bobertz that we had, in fact, sent the required 

18 revisions to Mr. Gazda, he changed the charge to 

19 a violation of 137(b) 137(b) clearly is 

20 targeted directly towards the individuals, not 

21 the company. 

22 And, while I won't dispute that the 

(202) 234-4433 

NEAL R. GROSS 

COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS 

1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., NW. 

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433 
1 company has some obligation to make sure that its 

2 employees have the proper manual, it's' 

3 nevertheless, a fact that 137 (b) is targeting 

4 only the employees, and not the airlines. 

5 And so, they flip flopped on the 

6 charges. We think it's bogus, and for them to 

7 have tried to shove this down our throat at that 

8 particular time was completely inappropriate, in 

9 our view. 

10 So, I'm finished with my opening. 

11 JUDGE GOODWIN: Mr . Bobert z, do you 

12 want to call your first witness? 

13 MR. BOBERTZ: Thank you, Your Honor. 

14 The Administrator calls Aviation 

15 Safety Inspector Clarence Kanae. 

16 JUDGE GOODWIN: Would you come forward, 

17 stand, and raise your right hand? 

18 Whereupon, 

19 CLARENCE KANAE 

20 was called as a witness by the Complainant, and 

21 having been first duly sworn, testified as 

22 follows:

1 JUDGE GOODWIN: Please be seated, and 

2 state your name for the record, and spell your 

3 first and last name. 

4 MR. KANAE: My name is Clarence K. 

5 Kanae, C-L-A-R-E-N-C-E, middle initial K, last 

6 name K-A-N-A-E. 

7 JUDGE GOODWIN: Counsel. 

8 MR. BOBERTZ: Yes, Your Honor. 

9 Yesterday we spoke about shortcutting 

10 the background questions with Inspector Kanae, 

11 and cutting and pasting from yesterday's hearing 

12 to today's, because the information would be the 

13 same. 

14 JUDGE GOODWIN: Do you have any 

15 objection, Mr. Quinn? What we are saying is, 

16 rather than having him re-testify as to where he 

17 works, and how long he's worked there, and what 

18 not --

19 MR. QUINN: I have no problem. 

20 JUDGE GOODWIN: Okay. So, I'm going to 

21 instruct the court reporter, the foundational 

22 testimony with respect to this witness, what we

1 did in the prior case is make a statement in the 

2 transcript saying, with the consent of the 

3 parties the testimony taken on December 1, 2014, 

4 which is foundational to the witness, will be 

5 replicated, in other words, reproduced in here ln 

6 full. 

7 And then what we'll do, Mr. Quinn, 

8 when you testify normally you would go through 

9 the same sort of thing, and with your permission 

10 we'll do the same for your qualifications. So, 

11 you don't have to reiterate, you know, what your 

12 educational background is and so forth. 

13 MR. QUINN: I understand.

1 MR. BOBERTZ: Thank you, Your Honor. 

2 Inspector Kanae, can you tell me where you're 

3 employed? 

4 THE WITNESS: I'm employed with the 

5 Federal Aviation Administration. And that's 

6 located at 135 Nakolo Place, Honolulu, Hawaii. 

7 BY MR. BOBERTZ: 

8 Q And how long have you been employed 

9 there? 

10 A I've been employed with the Federal 

11 Aviation Administration for 20 years. 

12 Q Can you briefly describe for me your 

13 aviation experience, both within and outside of 

14 the FAA? 

15 A Certainly. My aviation experience 

16 started back in 1968 when I learned how to fly as 

17 a private pilot. And it progressed into the 

18 military when I enlisted into the warrant officer 

19 helicopter flight training program back ln 1977. 

20 I've spent ten years on active duty 

21 and 32 years of Hawaii Army National Guard, 

22 mainly as a helicopter pilot, and retired just

1 recently in 2012 at the rank of CW4. 

2 And for my civilian experience, I've 

3 flown civilian helicopters and civilian aircraft 

4 here in Hawaii. I also have 121 experience 

5 flying for an air carrier here in Hawaii as well. 

6 Total flight time is over 16,000 hours, 11,000 of 

7 helicopters and the remaining fixed wing. 

8 Q Thank you. And what is your current 

9 position with the FAA? 

10 A I'm currently assigned to oversee Asia 

11 Pacific Airlines doing business as Aero 

12 Micronesia, Inc. I'm the principal operations 

13 inspector for this air carrier. 

14 Q And can you briefly describe your job 

15 duties? 

16 A As a safety inspector, our duties and 

17 responsibilities is quite, quite wide in scope. 

18 Some of the duties, and I'll just name a few, is 

19 to investigate action investigations, do 

20 surveillance of air carriers, certification of 

21 air carriers, and also certification of airmen. 

22 I also am tasked to do inspections on 

(202) 234-4433 

NEAL R. GROSS

1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W.

2-16 

1 the air carrier that I have oversight of, and 

2 surveillance as well on the air carrler that I am 

3 assigned to oversee. 

4 Q So you mention part of your duties 

5 include inspection of air carriers, specifically 

6 Aero Micronesia. Do you recall conducting an 

7 inspection of Aero Micronesia on March 25th, 

8 2011? 

9 A Yes, I do. 

10 Q What can you tell me about that 

11 inspection? What type of inspection, what made 

12 you conduct the inspection? 

13 A On that day, there were three of us. 

14 There was a team of three inspectors that had 

15 oversight of this particular carrier. I'm the 

16 operations inspector. There was Vickie Stahlberg 

17 who was the maintenance inspector, and then the 

18 avionics inspector Kahale Hoe. 

19 All three of us did an unannounced 

20 ramp inspection at the Honolulu International 

21 Airport as an Asia Pacific aircraft came in from 

22 Montreux.

1 JUDGE GOODWIN: Was that Kahale Hoe, 

2 was that you need spelled? 

3 COURT REPORTER: Yes. 

4 JUDGE GOODWIN: Do you know how to 

5 spell Kahale Hoe? 

6 THE WITNESS: Yes. It's K-A-H-A-L-E, 

7 H-0-E. Kahale Hoe. 

8 JUDGE GOODWIN: Great, thank you. Go 

9 ahead, Counsel. 

10 MR. BOBERTZ: So the three of you went 

11 to inspect Aero Micronesia, do a ramp inspection 

12 that day. So how does that happen? You go, the 

13 plane comes in, you go up to the plane, do you 

14 tell them you're coming? 

15 THE WITNESS: Yes. 

16 BY MR. BOBERTZ: 

17 Q Go ahead. 

18 A What basically occurs is that all 

19 three of us arrived at the ramp area where the 

20 aircraft had already been parked, and started 

21 being offloaded at the ramp area. So all three 

22 of us have different specialties. So we actually

1 went in our own progression to do specific 

2 inspections. 

3 I went up to the cockpit to interview 

4 the flight crew captain, first officer, and 

5 flight engineer. There, I checked for their 

6 currency of pilot certificates, medical 

7 certificates. 

8 I also looked at the flight logs and 

9 weight manifest, and basically safety equipment 

10 to make sure that the safety equipment 

11 inspections were current. 

12 Q Okay. And then what happened? 

13 A As I was in the cockpit, I noticed 

14 that the loading procedures had stopped. So I 

15 inquired about why was the offloadirg of the 

16 cargo ceased. 

17 And so I approached the, I guess he 

18 would be the cargo manager, the loader that was 

19 in charge of all of the ground personnel. I 

20 asked why are we all stopping to offload the 

21 aircraft. 

22 Q 

(202) 234-4433 

And his comment 

I'm sorry. And then so what did he 

NEAL R. GROSS 

COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS 

1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W. 

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433 
2-19 

1 say? 

2 A His comment was well, we have a cargo 

3 that's quite heavy, so we need to change the 

4 loader equipment to handle this heavier cargo 

5 that's going to be offloaded. 

6 Q Okay. So were you back where he was 

7 doing the offloading at that time, or did you see 

8 the cargo at that time? 

9 A I did. I went back and I saw the 

10 engine ins ide of the cabin. All the cargo 

11 forward of the engine was offloaded already. So 

12 all I could see was the engine on a stand on a 

13 pallet ready to be offloaded. 

14 Q Okay. And then what, did you notice 

15 anything with the engine that concerned you? 

16 A Yes. Took a photo of this particular 

17 cargo, the engine itself. I noticed that the 

18 engine in its entirety, to include the engine 

19 stand was strapped to a LD7 pallet, which is what 

20 we call, laymen's term, a cookie sheet pallet. 

21 And it was only strapped and 

22 configured to be loaded on that one particular 

(202) 234-4433 

NEAL R. GROSS

1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W. 

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433 
2-20 

1 cookie sheet pallet. And that pallet can only 

2 fit on one actually, one actual position in the 

3 aircraft. 

4 Q And what's the problem with that? 

5 A In comparison to the load manifest, it 

6 indicated that all the weights was transfer 

7 across three zones. But in fact, the way it was 

8 rigged was only secured and for shipment was for 

9 one zone. 

10 Q Your Honor, I have what's been marked 

11 as Administrator's Exhibits A-1 and A-2. May I 

12 approach? 

13 (Whereupon, the above-referred to 

14 documents were marked as Administrator's Exhibits 

15 A-1 and A-2 for identification.) 

16 JUDGE GOODWIN: Yes. Make sure Mr. 

17 Quinn has a chance. 

18 MR. BOBERTZ: And we discussed these 

19 ahead of time, Your Honor, and we briefly talked 

20 about foundation. But I think that we don't

2 MR. BOBERTZ: I gave you two, correct? 

3 JUDGE GOODWIN: Two different ones,

5 MR. BOBERTZ: Inspector Kanae, I think 

6 you mentioned earlier in your testimony about 

7 seeing a manifest. Can you please tell me, do 

8 you recognize Exhibit A-1? 

9 THE WITNESS: Yes. Exhibit A-1 is an 

10 Asia Pacific Airlines load planner weight 

11 manifest. 

12 MR. BOBERTZ: Okay. And is this one 

13 of the documents you got from Aero Micronesia at 

14 the time when you were doing the inspection? 

15 THE WITNESS: Yes, that is correct. 

16 MR. BOBERTZ: Your Honor, I offer 

17 Administrator's Exhibit A-1 into evidence.

1 Exhibit A-1, can you describe the significance of 

2 that document in summary? 

3 THE WITNESS: Yes. What this 

4 indicates is that one of the crew members 

5 computed this weight and balance weight manifest. 

6 And in Zone 8 it indicates that the engine in 

7 question is at Zone 8, but distributed forward of 

8 Zone 8 into Zone 7, and distributed weight aft of 

9 Zone 8 into Zone 9. 

10 And in fact, it's in conflict with 

11 what I actually saw in the aircraft whereby the 

12 engine was on one particular pallet that can only 

13 be secured in one zone. 

14 BY MR. BOBERTZ: 

15 Q So that's in conflict with this 

16 Exhibit A-1 that shows the load was spread across 

17 three zones? 

18 A Yes, sir. 

19 Q So then what happened? 

20 A So after I took a photo, myself and

1 JUDGE GOODWIN: Well, you can still 

2 make inquiry with respect to exhibits, that's 

3 fine. 

4 MR. BOBERTZ: So Inspector Kanae, just 

5 briefly, can you summarize your findings 

6 regarding these exhibits? Backing up for just a 

7 moment, you were just talking about going to the 

8 Continental Cargo folks. 

9 THE WITNESS: Yes, that's correct. 

10 BY MR. BOBERTZ: 

11 Q And are these the documents that you 

12 received from them? 

13 A Yes, but I have one more item if I 

14 could. 

15 Q Sure, go ahead. 

16 A Prior to leaving the aircraft for the 

17 cargo warehouse, I talked to the load supervisor 

18 and asked if there was any cargo placed in Zone 7 

19 or in Zone 9. He replied no, there wasn't any. 

20 And then we proceeded to the Continental Cargo 

21 warehouse. 

22 Q 

(202) 234-4433 

Okay. And then these are the

1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W. 

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433 
2-29 

1 documents you gathered from them? 

2 A Yes, that's correct. 

3 Q Okay. And can you briefly summarize 

4 what the documents meant for you? 

5 A Sure. So upon requesting the 

6 documents, I reviewed the weigh bill, Continental 

7 Airlines weigh bill. 

8 Q And which exhibit is that? 

9 A That is 

10 Q Down at the bottom right hand corner, 

11 roughly? I think of Exhibit A-3? 

12 A Oh, Exhibit A-3. 

13 Q Thank you. 

14 A Exhibit A-3. And upon examining it, 

15 it does indicate that an aircraft engine was 

16 being shipped from Guam to Honolulu, it's gross 

17 weight was 10,400 pounds. 

18 Q What about the Exhibits A-4, 5, and 6? 

19 Did those 

20 A Sure. 

21 Q -- tell you anything different? 

22 A I would like to just kind of like go

2-30 

1 out of sequence, if that's okay. 

2 Q That's fine. 

3 A Exhibit A-5 indicates that on pallet 

4 72217, there was 316 pounds on that particular 

5 shipment. If we were to take the 316 pounds and 

6 add it to Exhibit A-6 of 1, 084 pounds, that would 

7 come out to 10,400 pounds listed on Exhibit A-3. 

8 Q And what does that mean? 

9 A What that means is the Continental 

10 Airlines weigh bill matches the actual weigh bill 

11 of Asia Pacific Airlines Cargo manifest on 

12 Exhibit A-4. 

13 Q And what does that tell you about the 

14 weight of the engine? 

15 A That it's over 10,000 pounds. 

16 Q So then what happened? You got these 

17 exhibits from the cargo folks. Did you leave the 

18 airport? Did you go back and talk to Aero 

19 Micronesia? What happened next? 

20 A Well, I felt that perhaps I should 

21 take another step ln investigating this 

22 particular incident by having the engine weighed.

1 And so I had a conference with my 

2 fellow inspectors and they basically told me, you 

3 know, we have enough documentation here which is 

4 certified by the airlines, and that that should 

5 suffice versus having an engine placed on the 

6 scale. And so this is enough. 

7 And so I agreed, and we decided not to 

8 weigh the englne. 

9 Q Wouldn't weighing the engine be a 

10 fairly simple thing to do? 

11 A Yes. However, in the process it 

12 could, the engine could itself get damaged, or 

13 maybe the scale could get damaged. So instead of 

14 taking that risk, I decided to just go ahead and 

15 take these documents as evidence.

1 MR. BOBERTZ: And Inspector Kanae, 

2 what's the concern with having the inaccurate 

3 manifest, as you testified earlier? 

4 THE WITNESS: There's some safety 

5 concerns and safety ramifications, and also non6 compliance to the regulations. I'd like to tap 

7 on the safety aspect of it first whereby if there 

8 is an overloaded cargo placed on a particular 

9 portion of the airplane that's not configured or 

10 certified for, it could cause problems through 

11 the airframe or integrity of the aircraft itself, 

12 which could be a safety hazard. 

13 BY MR. BOBERTZ: 

14 Q What about the manifest error itself, 

15 is that a problem? 

16 A Yes, because it's inaccurate. And 

17 therefore, anyone looking at the manifest could 

18 say okay, it's fine, everything's fine. The load 

19 has been distributed accordingly to meet all the 

20 zone limits. However, in this case, it did not. 

21 And so

1 someone else may just rely on the cargo manifest 

2 for accuracy and not actually look at the load to 

3 see that it didn't match? 

4 A Yes, that could happen. 

5 MR. BOBERTZ: Your Honor, I have 

6 what's been marked as Administrator's Exhibit A- 8 

7 for identification purposes. May I approach? 

8 (Whereupon, the above-referred to 

9 document was marked as Administrator's Exhibit A10 8 for identification.)

12 MR. BOBERTZ: And this is actually 

13 just the FAA Compliance and Enforcement Program 

14 2153 (b) Appendix B that I actually asked that the 

15 Court take judicial notice of. 

16 JUDGE GOODWIN: Yes. Generally, Mr. 

17 Quinn, the FAA in all of these cases, 2150 (a) 

18 talks about the enforcement that has the matrix 

19 and everything else on it. What I normally do is 

20 take judicial notice and that saves me several 

21 filing cabinets full of duplicate copies of this.

1 JUDGE GOODWIN: So Counsel knows that, 

2 but are you offering it at this point? 

3 MR. BOBERTZ: Yes. For convenience, 

4 I took the liberty of making a copy of the 

5 Appendix B. And I know I discussed it with --

6 JUDGE GOODWIN: Morris and I used to 

7 have this conversation all the time. He would 

8 always bring a copy, move a copy, and I would 

9 always take judicial notice. But to be 

10 consistent, the Court takes judicial notice of 

11 Federal Aviation Order 5150.3 (b) effective date 

12 October 1st, '07. 

13 It is the type of document of which 

14 the Court can take judicial notice, which is 

15 regulations and laws and other things which are 

16 generally available in the public domain. So the 

17 Court will take judicial notice of Exhibit A-8.

1 at Exhibit 1, and there's Zone 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 

2 12. What is PAG? Does that just mean package? 

3 THE WITNESS: PAG is the pallet

5 JUDGE GOODWIN: Okay. So if I'm 

6 looking at the first line, to the left it says

8 THE WITNESS: Yes, that's Charlie 

9 Oscar standing for Continental. 

10 JUDGE GOODWIN: Okay. Oh, I see. 

11 Okay. So according to the manifest, that 

12 particular pallet would be distributed over Zone 

13 7, 8, and 9, is that correct? 

14 THE WITNESS: According to this 

15 manifest, yes, Your Honor. 

16 JUDGE GOODWIN: Okay. Yes, I'm just 

17 trying to understand that. Now if you jump to 

18 Exhibit 3, is there information on there that 

19 ties it to the pallet?

1 CROSS EXAMINATION 

2 MR. QUINN: Inspector Kanae, I 

3 appreciate that you're taking time today on your 

4 vacation. I believe that you testified that you 

5 have some Part 121 experience. Could you 

6 elaborate on that, exactly who that was and what 

7 type of airplanes they had? 

8 THE WITNESS: Sure. I was a first 

9 officer on a 121 Hawaii inter-island air carrier. 

10 The name of the air carrier is Mid-Pacific 

11 Airlines that flew 60 passenger aircraft, turbo 

12 propeller, turbo prop. 

13 MR. QUINN: Props. And how heavy an 

14 airplane was that max takeoff weight, roughly? 

15 THE WITNESS: About 154 to, depending 

16 on the actual model. They had three different 

17 models. It ranged from 154,000 to 180,000, I 

18 think, if I remember correctly. 

19 

20 think so.

1 large aircraft Part 121 carrier? 

2 A No. I was --

3 Q Could you expand on what you --

4 A Sure.

6 A The process of being assigned to a

3 MR. BOBERTZ: Objection, relevance. 

4 JUDGE GOODWIN: Overruled. 

5 THE WITNESS: Could you repeat the 

6 question again? 

7 MR. QUINN: In general, how would you 

8 describe the difficulty of operations of our kind 

9 out in the Pacific to the little airports that we 

10 operate out of? 

11 THE WITNESS: I would say because of 

12 the international overseas oceanic kind of 

13 operation, I would say the risk would be from 

14 medium to high because of the length of the 

15 flights across the oceanic and into international 

16 airspace. I would say medium to high as far as 

17 risk. 

18 MR. QUINN: And difficult because of 

19 the different countries and the short runways

2 takes to prepare (telephonic interference) this. 

3 JUDGE GOODWIN: Prepare what? 

4 MR. QUINN: How long it would take a 

5 crew member to prepare this document. 

6 MR. BOBERTZ: Objection, asks for 

7 speculation. 

8 JUDGE GOODWIN: If you can answer. 

9 Overruled. 

10 THE WITNESS: I'm sorry? 

11 JUDGE GOODWIN: You can answer. 

12 THE WITNESS: I would only have to

15 MR. QUINN: Having filled out hundreds 

16 of these, it takes 20 to 25 minutes.

1 an aircraft engine at 10,084 pounds, do you agree 

2 with that? 

3 THE WITNESS: Yes. 

4 BY MR. QUINN: 

5 Q And then it shows a second pallet and 

6 it says second aircraft engine, 316 pounds. 

7 A Correct. 

8 Q And so the 10,400 for this particular 

9 document would indicate that that weight was 

10 spread across, was on two different pallets? 

11 A Two separate pallets, these are two 

12 separate pallets, correct. 

13 Q Right, right. And relating back to 

14 Exhibit 1, we can see that the first pallet 

15 PAG72083 was loaded, is shown in position eight,

3 Q But it's the only picture of the

2 did you want to ask Mr. Kanae questions on that? 

3 MR. QUINN: I do. 

4 MR. BOBERTZ: Just one moment for,

1 Kanae, if you would please refer to Page 4 of 

2 this exhibit. It's actually Page 5 of this 

3 exhibit. There's a weight circled and it says 

4 dry weight 5,216 pounds. 

5 And in the letter, I state that that 

6 in fact is the weight of this type of engine that 

7 was shipped. Do you agree with that or not? 

8 THE WITNESS: I do not agree with 

9 that. 

10 BY MR. QUINN: 

11 Q Not. 

12 A No. 

13 Q Could you explain why? 

14 A Yes. What you have here is a generic 

15 weight of a generic engine without fluids within 

16 the system itself, fluids such as oil, fuel, and 

17 also components, fuel control units, et cetera 

18 may not be computed per this generic weight as 

19 listed here.

21 state in here that that's the typical shipping 

22 weight of an engine. But you've mentioned

1 components on this engine? 

2 A That's correct. 

3 Q And you've mentioned oil and fluids. 

4 A Yes. 

5 Q Isn't it normal procedure that fluids 

6 have to be more or less evacuated from an engine 

7 prior to shipping? 

8 A Yes, but not all of it can be because 

9 it gets trapped within the engine itself. 

10 Q Okay. And you have any idea how much 

11 might be trapped? 

12 A It may vary depending on the

1 you in your response. Just recently, I went on 

2 the website from the unclear copy and made a 

3 clear copy. But you're right, it's not exactly 

4 the same. It's a more recent

14 (Whereupon, the above-referred to 

15 document was marked as Respondent's Exhibit R-2

17 JUDGE GOODWIN: And I will note that 

18 it's a clearer copy of what is in Pages 6 of 9 

19 and 7 of 9 of R-1. I assume that's what you're 

20 really --

22 

(202) 234-4433

1 Mr. Quinn? 

2 MR. QUINN: Yes. That's fine, thank 

3 you. 

4 JUDGE GOODWIN: Okay. What the 

5 Court's saying is everyone's having trouble 

6 reading parts of Respondent's 1 for 

7 identification. 

8 What Mr. Quinn has just handed the 

9 Court is going to be marked as Respondent's 2 for 

10 identification, which in fact is a replication of 

11 Page 6 of 9 and 7 of 9 of Respondent's 1, but 

12 it's more readable, and it has to do with the 

13 fact that we've got copies of copies. 

14 So R-2 for identification for the 

15 record is actually Pages 6 of 9 and 7 of 9 of R16 1, it's just that it's a clearer copy.

3 JUDGE GOODWIN: Overruled.

9 generic weight. And we don't know for sure if 

10 the casters are the actual casters that were 

11 mounted on this particular stand. So what I'm 

12 saying is this, again too, is a generic weight 

13 that was produced. 

14 BY MR. QUINN:

17 this kind?

8 reviewing this before it went from you to Mr. 

9 Bobertz, I assume. 

10 MR. BOBERTZ: Objection, relevance. 

11 JUDGE GOODWIN: Overruled, I'll allow 

12 that limited inquiry. 

13 THE WITNESS: Sure. 

14 MR. QUINN: It was. 

15 THE WITNESS: The process for 

16 enforcement per our FAA order requires that we 

17 gather investigative data. We then put together 

18 an enforcement package. It is then reviewed not 

19 only by myself, but also reviewed by my 

20 management personnel before it's forwarded to the 

21 region for legal counsel to review.

1 that I request ten days for a reply. If there is 

2 no reply, then the enforcement will be forwarded 

3 all the way up to our region legal office,

6 Q So are you telling me that it was 

7 forwarded to legal before you got my letter dated 

8 April 20? 

9 A I did not receive your letter, Mr. 

10 Quinn. 

11 Q Really? 

12 A I didn't see your letter. I don't 

13 remember revealing your letter. 

14 Q Okay. So just maybe this is 

15 repetitive, but you decided not to weigh the 

16 engine here in Honolulu after it arrived?

19 questions.

1 BY MR. BOBERTZ: 

2 Q So, we learned yesterday, Inspector 

3 Kanae, that your work with the FAA and your 

4 duties include inspection of the principal 

5 operations inspector for Aero Micronesia. 

6 Do you recall conducting an inspection 

7 of Aero Micronesia on December 8' 2010? 

8 A Yes, I do. 

9 Q And, can you tell me what type of 

10 inspection that was? 

11 A That was a scheduled ATOS inspection. 

12 ATOS stands for Air Transportation Oversight 

13 System. 

14 Q And, where did that inspection take 

15 place? 

16 A That took place in Sanford, Florida. 

17 Q So, you mentioned ATOS. So, what's 

18 the purpose of this inspection? 

19 A It's an actual audit tool that the FAA 

20 uses to inspect or do surveillance on an air 

21 carrier, to measure the operator's compliance of 

22 the regulations, to measure the performance of

1 the operator, the certificate holder's operations 

2 as well. 

3 Q So, let's talk a little more details 

4 about your inspection. So, was anyone else from 

5 the FAA with you? 

6 A No, I was there by myself. 

7 Q And so, who did you meet? 

8 A I met with Mr. Dick Gazda, and I also 

9 believe that Bill Davidson, and also Barry Watts, 

10 these are gentlemen that approve -- check airman 

11 and approved instructors as well. 

12 Q For? 

13 A For Asia Pacific Airlines. And, they 

14 were approved by the FAA through the process of 

15 approval. 

16 Q And, Gazda, you mentioned? Who is he? 

17 A He is also a check airman and 

18 instructor, and, basically, he's, basically, the 

19 manager, the point of contact for that facility 

20 that I normally talk with for any kind of 

21 scheduling, or check in. 

22 Q 

(202) 234-4433 

And, when you say for that facility, 

NEAL R. GROSS

1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., NW 

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005·3701 (202) 234·4433 
2-64 

1 what do you mean? Can you give me more details? 

2 What is this facility? 

3 A This is a training facility, owned by 

4 an actual company. However, Mr. Gazda, Bill 

5 Davidson, and Barry Watts at that time were 

6 employed by this particular operation, or company 

7 that owns a flight simulator. 

8 However, they also were providing 

9 services directly to Asia Pacific Airlines. 

10 Q So, this is the facility where Asia 

11 Pacific conducts its training for its pilots and 

12 other crew? 

13 A That is correct. 

14 Q So, tell me about the inspection that 

15 day. What happened? 

16 A Certainly. So, I arrived, and what 

17 normally happens is, we have an in-briefing. So, 

18 all four of us sat down, and I began my in19 briefing by explaining what I was there for, what 

20 I was looking to check or inspect. And, we also 

21 talked about previous training that had occurred 

22 at the facility, any problems that, perhaps, I

1 should know about, and that I could assist in 

2 correcting. And, we also talked about future 

3 training that APA may be having. 

4 Q And then, what? So, you had the sit5 down meeting, and what happened after that? 

6 A Okay. So then, I said, okay, let's 

7 begin the inspection. And, I asked that I wanted 

8 to see their manuals, their GOM. GOM stands for 

9 General Operations Manual. And, the FOTM, Flight 

10 Operations Training Manual. 

11 Mr. Gazda mentioned, I'm sorry, but I 

12 don't have them here on the premise. They are 

13 located at my home. And, I said, okay. That's 

14 not a problem. 

15 Our inspection also included checking 

16 their records, check airmen and instructor 

17 records. So, I asked to let's go ahead and look 

18 at the training records for the check airmen and 

19 instructors. And, if we could obtain those 

20 the manuals, that would be greatly appreciated, 

21 and so he did. He was able to furnish the 

22 manuals after lunch.

1 Q So, I'm sorry, maybe I missed part of 

2 it. But, he was able to, but not right away? 

3 A Yes, not right away. 

4 Q And, what did he say? 

5 A He said, well, they are at my home. 

6 Q Okay. 

7 A I'll need to go and retrieve them, 

8 which he did. 

9 Q And, he did, did he go get them or did 

10 he have someone bring them? 

11 A I believe he had someone go to the 

12 house and pick them up. 

13 Q Okay. So, after lunch he delivered 

14 the manuals to you. 

15 A Yes. 

16 Q And, what did you see? What did you 

17 find? 

18 A Well then, I reviewed the manuals, and 

19 I noticed that the revision for the GOM was at 

20 five, when it really should have been I'm 

21 sorry, the GOM was 20 excuse me, the Flight

1 A This is an Asia Pacific Airlines Notice 

2 of Manual Distribution for the FOTM. It's Revision 

3 No. -- there's eight and nine assigned to Mr. Dick 

4 Gazda, with an issue date of March 15, 2010, 

5 distributed March 12, 2010. 

6 And then, the transmittal report, 

7 shortly below this information, indicates that Mr. 

8 Gazda, actually, inserted this revision in, it 

9 looks 2 I can't make that out. 

10 Q It's hard to tell, yes. Okay. That's 

11 all right. 

12 Then, can you please turn the page to 

13 the next Notice of Manual Distribution, and what 

14 does this indicate to you? 

15 A Right. This is also an Asia Pacific 

16 Airlines manual distribution form, for the GOM 

17 this time. It's a manual number assigned to Mr. 

18 Gazda, it's 9, Revision22, issued February, 2009, 

19 distributed back in October of 2010. 

20 He inserted Revision 22 for the GOM

1 Now, turning to Exhibit A-3. 

2 A Yes. 

3 Q Can you briefly describe this document 

4 to me? 

5 A Yes. This is a manual control document 

6 belonging to -- that Asia Pacific Airlines uses. 

7 This particular manual control document names the 

8 GOM, the GOM Revision No. 22, issue date of 

9 February, 2009, and then listing all the holders 

10 of the company by manual number, and then date of 

11 installed of this particular revision. 

12 Q And, what is this -- what information 

13 do you garner from this document regarding Manual 

14 No. 9, the Director of Trainings Manual? 

15 A It is blank. The holder's name is Mark 

16 Eden, who no longer worked or the company at that 

17 particular time. And so, it's blank, meaning it 

18 wasn't installed. 

19 Q And, you may have said this and I 

20 missed it, but where does this -- where did you

1 this from their Headquarters at Danville, the main 

2 office. And, it was sent to me. 

3 Q Okay, thank you, Inspector. 

4 So, Inspector, could I -- we talked a 

5 lot about these couple manuals. We've talked 

6 about the GOM, the FOTM, a number revisions, and 

7 a number of dates. With all that information, did 

8 you compile a summary for us?

1 purposes as Administrator's Exhibit A-4, do you 

2 recognize this document? 

3 A Yes, I do. 

4 Q And, what is it? 

5 A This is a basic timeline of the GOM 

6 manual, of the revisions, as well as for the 

7 flight training manual. It's just a graph 

8 indicating the length of time and when the 

9 revisions were inserted, or in effect, and also it 

10 indicates when my inspection occurred. 

11 Q Okay. So, we'll get into the dates and 

12 what not in a minute, but I'd like to go over 

13 first the notes. There's some notes on there, and 

14 what do those notes indicate? 

15 A Sure. It shows on the top, it's a 

16 timeline for the GOM. The Revision 22 was issued 

17 February, 2009. And, if we look at Exhibit A-2, 

18 we can see that that 2009, that corresponds to 

19 this graph. 

20 And, Note 1, if I could read that to 

21 you, says, "Asia Pacific Airlines, August 3, 2011,

2 Distribution. Notice regarding the GOM shows

4 Exhibit A-2, " ... distributed to Mr. Gazda ... , " 

5 again look at Exhibit A-2, " ... posted January 21,

10 "Notice regarding the Flight Ops FOTM, shows 

11 Revision 8 and 9 issued in March, 2010." And, 

12 that's in A-2, March of 2010. 

13 So, basically, that one is showing on 

14 the draft itself for the GOM, for the timeline.

16 information came from on your timeline?

15 evidence. 

16 JUDGE GOODWIN: Okay. Let's give Mr. 

17 Quinn a chance, though. 

18 MR. QUINN: I think I do object to this, 

19 because of the way it's worded. I would say that, 

20 you know, I have no problem agreeing that the 

21 particular manuals that Inspector Kanae looked at 

22 in Florida were these revisions.

1 But, this case is not about that. The 

2 case is about whether or not Mr. Gazda had the 

3 revisions. They were at his garage, and this 

4 really doesn't reflect that. I did not admit that 

5 Mr. Gazda didn't have these things, and there are 

6 records indicating here, even including Exhibit 2, 

7 that indicate that we had sent them to him. 

8 JUDGE GOODWIN: Well, I'm going to 

9 overrule the objection and allow admission of the 

10 document. Your argument, Mr. Quinn, is going to 

11 go to the weight that I'm going to give to it. 

12 Again, this is the FAA's case. In your 

13 case, you, certainly, have the right to present 

14 any testimony that you want to, to elaborate on 

15 your objections. 

16 MR. QUINN: Okay. 

17 JUDGE GOODWIN: And now, Mr. Bobertz has 

18 also offered Administrator's 3 for identification. 

19 I wanted to give you a chance to -- that's the

3 MR. QUINN: No.

16 Q So, just briefly, Inspector Kanae, can 

17 you go through, run us quickly through the Exhibit 

18 A-4 for the GOM, and the Flight Training Manual? 

19 A Sure, certainly. 

20 So, we'll look at Exhibit A-4. We' 11 

21 start to the far left, Revision 6 was issued in 

22 February, 2009. So, look at Note No. 3.

14 issued to the far left. We' 11 start with the GOM 

15 first. 

16 We discuss Note 1. As we travel across

20 We looked at my inspection, the date 

21 was December of 2010. At that time, Mr. Gazda had

1 Keep in mind that this timeline graph 

2 only depicts Mr. Gazda's assigned manuals, no one 

3 else's in the company, just the assigned manuals 

4 to that particular training site. 

5 So, I'll continue. Continuing on to the 

6 right, I also explain that Revision 22 was not 

7 inserted until January 21, 2011. 

8 Q Okay. 

9 A That covers the timeline for the GOM. 

10 Q And, the Flight Training Manual? 

11 A Oh, for the Flight Training Manual, we 

12 are looking at, again, it was also issued in 

13 February of 2009. With Note 3, if I could go over 

14 that real quickly, records of revision for Asia 

15 Pacific Ops FOTM, it shows Revision 6, which is 

16 Exhibit 4-1? 

17 Q A-1. 

18 A A-1, sorry. 

19 Asia Pacific FOTM, it shows Revision 6 

20 inserted on 2013, 2009, indicating the revision 

21 must have been issued in February, 2009, or 

22 earlier.

1 As we continue along the graph to the 

2 right, I mentioned earlier as well under Note 1 

3 that Revision 8 and 9 for the Flight Training 

4 Manual was issued March of 2010. 

5 During my inspection in December '10, 

6 you can see that Mr. Gazda had in his manual 

7 Revision 5, and that is from Note 2 to explain 

8 this particular graph I was helped in making. 

9 Q So, were there also-- Note 2 indicates 

10 that was an admission in Asia Pacific's reply to 

11 the complaint, but was it also not the information 

12 that you obtained during your inspection? 

13 A Well 

14 Q That you found the status of the 

15 manuals as you found them. 

16 A Yes, I found them, and I was surprised, 

17 because that is a training facility. And, I asked 

18 Mr. Gazda, is this the latest revision you have 

19 for both manuals? 

20 His reply was yes. Is this the latest, 

21 I didn't receive anything else from the company. 

22 

(202) 234-4433 

And, I said, well, what do you mean?

1 I didn't receive anything from 

2 Danville. So, this is it, this is what I have, 

3 and that's all. 

4 And, I said, well then, we have a 

5 problem and, therefore, I will need to notify the 

6 Vice President of Operations that we have a 

7 problem, that we have outdated manuals. So, I 

8 left it at that. 

9 Q Did Mr. Gazda say anything to you about 

10 having updates somewhere else in a box? 

11 A No, he did not. 

12 Q Did he say anything to you about having 

13 updates anywhere else? 

14 A No, he said that was it, that's all I 

15 have. This is what you see, and this is what I 

16 have. They never sent me any revisions. 

17 Q Inspector Kanae, did you have an 

18 opportunity to prepare a statement about your 

19 inspection, upon your return to the office?

2 MR. BOBERTZ: Thank you, Your Honor. 

3 BY MR. BOBERTZ: 

4 Q Inspector Kanae, what is the problem 

5 with having manuals that are outdated? 

6 A Well, with having outdated manuals, 

7 that causes some safety issues, first of all, in 

8 that manuals for live policy procedures, which is 

9 normally, or is, an approved document approved by 

10 the FAA. 

11 So, if these manuals are outdated, it 

12 could cause a safety issue, in that air crew 

13 members, in this case, may not be following the 

14 correct procedures, or the most current 

15 procedures, which may involve an accident or 

16 incident. 

17 Now secondly, also outdated manuals may 

18 also lead towards not being in compliance with the 

19 regulations. 

20 Q But, there was no training going on at 

21 the time of your inspection, isn't that true? 

22 A 

(202) 234·4433 

That is correct, no training was being

1 accomplished at the time. 

2 Q Was there training going on during the 

3 period where, looking back at your summary chart, 

4 A-4, it looks like both Revision 6 to the Flight 

5 Training Manual, and Revision 22 to the GOM, were 

6 issued in February, 2009. And, at the date of 

7 your inspectim, in December, 2010, those 

8 revisions were not contained in the manual. 

9 Was there training going on between 

10 February, 2009 and December, 2010? 

11 A Yes, there was. 

12 Q Do you recall, generally, what type of 

13 training they might have been doing? 

14 A Yes. Every six months the check airmen 

15 and the instructors, I'm talking simulator and 

16 also-- I'm sorry, not simulators, but line check 

17 airmen are required to come in every six months 

18 and get their checks, their training, and their 

19 evaluations, basically, every six months.

21 my inspection.

1 MR. BOBERTZ: No further questions.

3 like to inquire of Mr. Kanae? 

4 MR. QUINN: Yes. 

5 CROSS EXAMINATION 

6 BY MR. QUINN: 

7 Q Inspector Kanae, can you give us a kind 

8 of a general description of the issue back in the 

9 fourth quarter of 2010, where Asia Pacific 

10 Airlines, working with the FAA, was moving from 

11 having our training done by an FAA-approved, Part 

12 142, flight school, over to an in-house-approved 

13 training program? 

14 A I sure can. I remember during that 

15 time frame that Mr. Bob Res ling reviewed what was 

16 approved at that time, from the previous 

17 principal, and decided that he did not want a 142 

18 curriculum, did not want to use that program. 

19 And, therefore, I didn't see a problem as a POI, 

20 that Asia Pacific reverts to an in-house kind of 

21 training. 

22 

(202) 234-4433 

I did not have a problem with that. 

Along with the 142 training, comes

1 operation specifications. So, Mr. Resling was 

2 notified that operation specifications would be 

3 rendered for inactive, be void. Therefore, Asia 

4 Pacific was allowed to do in-house training. 

5 Q Were you aware that the Sanford 

6 training facility in question here was owned and 

7 operated, the Part 142 school was a part of 

8 Capital Cargo Airlines, based in Orlando, Florida? 

9 A Yes, I was. I was briefed by Mr. 

10 Gazda, Mr. Bill Davidson, and also by Barry Watts. 

11 They briefed me on that, yes. 

12 Q And, are you aware that when Capital 

13 Cargo decided to no longer operate the 142 school, 

14 they evicted-- I say evicted, that's maybe too 

15 harsh, but made Dick Gazda move out of that 

16 facility? 

17 A Yes. 

18 Q He had an office there and he had to 

19 vacate it? 

20 A Yes. Mr. Gazda did indicate that, but 

21 he also indicated that he was allowed to use an 

22 office, as appropriate, and as needed.

1 Q Correct, but he was not able to keep 

2 any manuals, or documents, or records, or anything 

3 else. He was just able to use it. 

4 A That's what he indicated. 

5 Q Okay. Would it be your opinion that 

6 that would be the reason why the manuals weren't 

7 at this facility during the time of your visit? 

8 A Well, yes, but it was available, and 

9 that's what the regulation states, would be 

10 available. So, it was available, and Mr. Gazda 

11 made it available. 

12 Q Okay. Referring back to Exhibit A-1, 

13 actually, I' 11 come back to that. It's Exhibit A14 2 that I want to refer to. 

15 Exhibit A-2, page four, do you know, 

16 specifically, who, you know, fills out the top 

17 part of this form, the Notice of Manual 

18 Distribution, how that works?

20 Q Correct. 

21 A And then, it's forwarded to the holder

1 that document, and it also says March, it says

3 When you look at FAR 121.137, how many

1 revisions. Do you agree with that? 

2 A Yes, I do, and I do recall now. 

3 Q What? 

4 A I do now recall the regulations a 

5 little better. 

6 Q Oh, okay. 

7 And so, I guess I'm confused, because 

8 we've supplied the FAA with documentation that we 

9 sent out the appropriate revisions. We have a

11 received the revisions, dated in March of 2010. 

12 How would you explain that? Do you have an 

13 explanation? 

14 A Sure. Sure. It still doesn't 

15 alleviate or still doesn't relinquish the 

16 responsibility of the air carrier to audit the 

17 manuals. You have a manual control system, and 

18 the manual control system for this particular 

19 manual is blank. 

20 And, therefore, it appears that since 

21 the manual control document was at your office and 

22 it's blank, it appears that it still falls into

1 the air carrier's responsibility to make sure that 

2 this regulation is applied. 

3 Q And, you are referring to? 

4 A I'm sorry, to Exhibit A-3. 

5 Q Right. Do you see Mr. Gazda's name 

6 anywhere on that list? 

7 A That's correct, I don't. 

8 Q Okay. And, do you have any clue why

2-97 

1 5,000 pages of manuals and documents involved in 

2 our airline? 

3 A Certainly, yes, I do. 

4 Q Okay. And, clearly, from Exhibit A-1 

5 you can see that these manuals are routinely 

6 changed, sometimes significantly, sometimes not. 

7 Would you agree that a pilot who gets 

8 revisions of airport charts from Jeppesen twice a 

9 month, gets changes to the GOM, you know, once or 

10 twice a year, given Exhibit A-3. They get a lot of 

11 paperwork, they get a lot of revisions to things. 

12 A I'd agree. 

13 Q And, would you agree that human nature 

14 and practices, when you get these revisions you 

15 often just put them in a box, or throw with a 

16 manual for some period of time before you, 

17 actually, insert them? 

18 A Yes, that's very possible, depending 

19 again --

2-98 

1 A Sure, yes. 

2 Q Okay. And so, would you agree that 

3 it's certainly possible that Mr. Gazda had the 

4 revisions and had them in the box in his garage at 

5 home 40 miles away? 

6 A At that time of the inspection, he did 

7 not indicate that. 

8 Q I can understand that. You know, it 

9 had been close to a year since we sent them to 

10 him. It doesn't surprise me that he didn't

14 And, I believe you testified that there 

15 was no training going on? 

16 A That's correct, no training being 

17 accomplished at the time. 

18 Q The other thing that I assume you are 

19 aware of is, is that APA has a procedure for our 

20 pilots taking their manuals to Sanford, so that 

21 they can be checked while they are routinely there 

22 every six months to a year by Mr. Gazda for the

1 proper revisions. 

2 A Okay. 

3 Q One of the steps that we take. 

4 A Right. 

5 Q And, the reason I say that is because 

6 it's the individual pilot's manuals, such as the

3 THE WITNESS: Let's see. After Sanford, 

4 where did I leave. I'm not exactly sure. I'm not 

5 sure if I stopped at your office. 

6 Q You did. 

7 A Okay. 

8 Q You visited with me a few days later, 

9 even though I'd asked you not to do that, too, 

10 because I was tied up with Mr. Resling's death. 

11 A I don't remember. I'm sorry, I don't 

12 remember that. 

13 Q Okay. Referring back to Exhibit A-1, 

14 page two -- actually, two, three, four and five, 

15 can you tell me how many pages in this document 

16 were changed by Revisions 8 and 9?

19 on the top right is page I. You can see over in

3 Q Okay. Do you see any Revision 7 pages 

4 ln here?

14 explain, I don't know if you remember, but 

15 Appendix K was added in to this manual, which this 

16 defines the simulators ln use, is that your

21 document that Bob Resling and I were working on

3 the value to be given to the exhibit. 

4 MR. QUINN: Am I able to submit an 

5 exhibit? 

6 JUDGE GOODWIN: You can offer it, show

1 Are you suggestirg that his meeting 

2 with you was to assign duties? 

3 A Well, let me put it this way. I'll 

4 reverse that, it was my duty and responsibilities 

5 to conduct an inspecticn, and, therefore, I was 

6 there to do the inspection. 

7 Q Can you elaborate on what required you 

8 to fly from Hawaii to Florida, during a period 

9 when there was no training going on? 

10 A Again, I --

11 Q And then, to fly from Florida to 

12 California, to meet with us? 

13 A -- sure, that's part of my duties and 

14 responsibilities, to conduct inspections over the 

15 air carrier that I have oversight of, regardless 

16 of where each of the training site is, by 

17 following site, operation base site is, it does 

18 not matter. If I'm assigned to that carrier,

2-111 

1 to have done that during the period of training, 

2 which goes on a couple of times a year? 

3 A Not necessaril~ because I could have 

4 other duties as an Aviation Safety Inspector, 

5 whereby your training, or your company's training, 

6 may not align with my schedule as well. So, your 

7 schedule and my schedule may not align with one 

8 another. 

9 Q All right. Then, let me ask this 

10 question, because the FAA has told me that you are 

11 -- that 100 percent of your duties is towards APA, 

12 that we have three full-time FAA inspectors, one 

13 of whom you are, to our company. That was the 

14 change when we moved to your office. 

15 A Yes, that is correct. We are totally 

16 assigned to Asia Pacific Airlines. 

17 Q Okay. So, in light of that, can you 

18 elaborate why you would fly all the way from 

19 Honolulu to Florida, and then to Danville, just to 

20 ask a handful of ATOS questions? 

21 And, by the way, ask ATOS questions of 

22 somebody not directly employed by Asia Pacific

1 Airlines. 

2 A Well, let me put it this way. Again, 

3 it's my duties and responsibilities. I notified 

4 Mr. Bob Res ling weeks before that I would be 

5 conducting the inspection. Before his passing, I 

6 did notify him that I was going to be conducting

8 And so, it was set. Keep in mind that 

9 we are funded accordingly to conduct these

11 leaving the office. Everything was prior 

12 approved. 

13 And that's, again, part of my duties

1 Now, just so we've got a record, you've 

2 pointed to an area, would you describe the Court 

3 which area of the document you were -- one of the 

4 reasons I do this, Mr. Quinn, is we are all here 

5 ln a three-dimensional setting, and we know what 

6 we are doing. But, somebody who on appeal is 

7 reviewing the record, and I'll give you an

1 Mr. Kanae? 

2 THE WITNESS: I believe Mr. Quinn has 

3 asked me to read the last paragraph of this 

4 interpretation on page 1-166. 

5 Okay. I'll begin. "Does Part 

6 121.137 (b) require that the manual, or appropriate 

7 parts of it, 'which the crew member must keep 

8 current and have accessible,' be a personal copy 

9 issued to the individual crew member." 

10 Next sentence, "Apparently, some 

11 certificate holder is to issue personal copies of 

12 the manual to crew members, which they are then 

13 required to keep current and carry with them when 

14 flying." 

15 Q That's enough. 

16 So, it refers to crew members several 

17 times in that sentence, I believe. 

18 A Yes. 

19 Q And, Part 137(b) is, specifically, 

20 applicable to crew members. 

21 A 

22 Q 

(202) 234-4433 

Yes. 

And so, you have an FAA interpretation

1 here that says that the crew member is required to 

2 keep their documents in order and have them 

3 present when they are performing their duties. 

4 MR. BOBERTZ: Objection. Counsel is 

5 arguing that the interpretation-- it says what it 

6 says. 

7 JUDGE GOODWIN: The document speaks --

8 if this is a legal interpretation by the Agency, 

9 the document speaks for itself. 

10 MR. QUINN: It does. 

11 JUDGE GOODWIN: So, to ask the witness 

12 for his interpretation, actually, goes beyond his

14 responsibility, is to take the regulation and 

15 interpret it rightly or wrongly.

18 scanned this particular document and email it to

5 have my email address, Mr. Quinn, you have Mr.

1 complaints. So, I'd like to -- and, I'd like to 

2 copy this and send it to everyone afterwards, but 

3 I'll give this one to Clarence. 

4 May I approach? 

5 JUDGE GOODWIN: Yes. 

6 Mr. Bobertz, on the bottom I've written 

7 R-2 for identification, and I've marked the second 

8 page as one of two, and the first page is one of 

9 two. 

10 (Whereupon, the document was marked

13 BY MR. QUINN: 

14 Q Inspector Kanae, do you recognize this 

15 document? 

16 A Yes, I do now. 

17 Q Is this document something that you 

18 produced from your office in Honolulu? 

19 A Yes. 

20 Q And, is this something that you 

21 supplied to Mr. Bobertz? 

22 A

1 Q It is. 

2 A Well, let me put it this way. I 

3 supplied it in the package of enforcement. 

4 Q Okay. 

5 A Whether it went to Mr. Bobertz, that's

8 A -- it was part of my package for the 

9 investigation, correct. 

10 Q Okay. Could you describe what exactly 

11 this is? 

12 A What this is is, it is a historical 

13 record of Aero Micronesia's enforcement cases, or 

14 enforcement actions. 

15 Q Does it --doesn't it state at the top 

16 that it's a violator results, violation results? 

17 A It does say that, yes. 

18 Q Do you believe that this is a complete 

19 record of these cases, or just a summary? 

20 A It's just a summary. It may be 

21 updated. It may not be. It all depends on when 

22 they updated this particular website.

1 MR. BOBERTZ: Object ion, Your Honor, to 

2 the Administrator has no objection to the 

3 foundation, you know, of this exhibit. It's an 

4 FAA document, summarizing in some fashion 

5 incidents that, perhaps, Mr. Kanae opened and 

6 closed and got to Legal. The FAA has no objection 

7 regarding the foundation of this document. 

8 But, the FAA does object to its 

9 relevance to this case. It's simply showing some 

10 kind of summary of actions opened, closed, taken, 

11 not taken, nothing to do with this particular 

12 case, or even the engine case for that matter. 

13 JUDGE GOODWIN: Well, Mr. Quinn, unless 

14 it's being offered by the Administration to 

15 justify the fine. 

16 MR. QUINN: It is. 

17 MR. BOBERTZ: It is not. Of course, my 

18 question 

19 JUDGE GOODWIN: Well, if the FAA is 

20 representing that it was not used to support the 

21 calculation of their fine, then it would not be 

22 relevant.

1 The fact that a case has been opened 

2 and administratively closed would be prejudicial 

3 to the Respondent, and the Court would not 

4 consider it, unless in a particular case it was 

5 part of the calculation used to show a history of 

6 violations. 

7 If a case is open and closed without 

8 the result, the Court is not going to consider 

9 that in this case, which works to your advantage. 

10 MR. QUINN: It took some time for Asia 

11 Pacific to get a delineation of the actual results 

12 of these cases, to find out that it included a 

13 warning that was inappropriately issued by the 

14 Honolulu office, and was later retracted by that 

15 office. 

16 MR. BOBERTZ: Objection. 

17 MR. QUINN: It included about a dozen--

18 JUDGE GOODWIN: Mr. Quinn, if a warning 

19 was issue and retracted, it is not relevant to 

20 this case. 

21 

22 

(202) 234·4433 

The Court won't consider it. 

MR. QUINN: All right. 

JUDGE GOODWIN: If Mr. Bobertz were

1 making that proffer, that he wanted to introduce 

2 into evidence a warning, which was later 

3 withdrawn, I would not allow the introduction in 

4 the evidence. 

5 MR. QUINN: I guess it gets to the 

6 motivation of why the FAA office in Honolulu would 

7 send this type of document to the attorneys in the 

8 first place. 

9 JUDGE GOODWIN: The problem is that, in 

10 the that comes under the purvlew of 

11 prosecutorial discretion, which is the subject of 

12 a great deal of wrangling in the newspapers. 

13 Prosecutors have wide discretion bringing cases 

14 and not bringing cases, and sometimes it's not 

15 easy to understand why, whether it's this case or 

16 any number of cases. 

17 So, and the case law is that 

18 prosecutors are given wide latitude, and inquiry 

19 is not needed, into discretion as to why two, 

20 apparently, identical cases, one is prosecuted and 

21 the other is not. 

22 MR. QUINN: Well, I would agree with Mr.

1 Bobertz, you know, I'll believe him when he says 

2 he did not use this document in the calculation of 

3 the penalties in these cases. But, I, certainly, 

4 think that it was used as a reason to continue the 

5 cases, when they should have been settled a long 

6 time ago. 

7 JUDGE GOODWIN: But, we are at the point 

8 that that's my decision. 

9 MR. QUINN: Okay. 

10 JUDGE GOODWIN: And, I don't care about 

11 -- the Court doesn't care about motivation. I 

12 look at the facts. I look at the law, and that's 

13 how I make a decision. And, whether it's ill14 advised to bring a case or not, ill-advised, then 

15 I don't consider any of my cases. 

16 MR. QUINN: Then may I ask, because I 

17 was going to submit a similar document, which is 

18 the same enforcement actions from the Oklahoma 

19 City repositorythat keeps these documents, that's 

20 somewhat different than the one that was submitted 

21 by the Honolulu CMO. I don't know if it matters at 

22 this point.

1 JUDGE GOODWIN: But, the point is, if 

2 Mr. Bobertz -- if the Administrator did not use 

3 those records in this case to calculate the 

4 penalty, then I don't think it's relevant. 

5 MR. QUINN: Okay.

8 would put no weight in the evidence, based on what

1 MR. QUINN: --Respondent's 2. It just 

2 has additional information. For example, it says 

3 that no action was carried out on six, seven or 

4 eight of these. Almost a dozen of these items 

5 were no actions, they were simply cases that have 

6 been started by the FAA and then took no action, 

7 because there was no action to be taken. 

8 JUDGE GOODWIN: Mr. Bobertz, have you 

9 used any of that information in your calculations 

10 for this case? 

11 MR. BOBERTZ: I did not, and I would 

12 object based on this document, based on foundation 

13 and relevance.

15 offering those two documents into evidence? 

16 MR. QUINN: I would like to, yes.

2 JUDGE GOODWIN: So, if the FAA tried to

11 from Aero Micronesia would meet with you during

14 A Did I mandate? I just made the 

15 arrangements with the staff both at Danville and 

16 Florida that I'm arriving, when I'm arriving, and 

17 to expect me at that particular time. 

18 Q So, did you require that they provide 

19 a particular person, or they decided who they 

20 provided to meet you? 

21 A Normally, becauseMr. Gazda normally is 

22 the point of contact, he makes arrangements to

1 make sure that he meets me at the particular time 

2 that I show for the inspection or surveillance. 

3 Along with that, so does the other 

4 instructors and check airmen. 

5 Q Okay. So, it made sense, because Mr. 

6 Gazda was your point of contact for training at 

7 that facility? 

8 A Yes, he was. 

9 Q Okay. What if someone-- what if Asia 

10 Pacific had assigned someone else to meet you at

1 the manner that you want to tell it. 

2 DIRECT EXAMINATION 

3 THE WITNESS: A little bit about my 

4 history. I started flying when I was 12 years old 

5 on my grandfather's farm. I went to an aviation 

6 college, the oldest one in the country, Parks 

7 College. 

8 After college, I went into the Navy and 

9 became a Naval officer flying off of aircraft 

10 carriers. I did that for seven or eight years. 

11 Subsequent to that, I began flying for Braniff 

12 International out of Dallas, Texas flying 727s, 

13 DC-8s, eventually moving into management at 

14 Braniff. 

15 They went bankrupt in 19 8 2 and I 've 

16 been pretty much on my own ever since. Heavily 

17 involved in large commercial aircraft, 727s, DC18 8s, 747 freighters; I've been involved in 

19 converting a number of airplanes. 

20 Currently involved in converting a 

21 large airplane. I founded Asia Pacific Airlines 

22 approximately 16 years ago, and we've been

NEAL R. GROSS

2-134 

1 successfully flying 727 freighters in the Pacific 

2 arena for the last 15 years or so. 

3 I was heavily involved in writing our 

4 manuals. Exhibit 1, the load planning and weight 

5 manifest, is a document that I designed and 

6 created myself. 

7 I do all the weight and balance 

8 calculations on the airplane, or for the aircraft. 

9 I'm a commercial pilot, type rated in 727, and 

10 flew our aircraft up until I turned 65 two years 

11 ago. 

12 And so I've flown the aircraft in 

13 question, and I've flown the aircraft in question 

14 with Continental's engines on it on more than one 

15 occasion. 

16 I received a letter from Clarence via 

17 our attorney in Washington from Inspector 

18 Kanae, excuse me regarding this particular 

19 engine. And I would like to give a little bit of 

20 background about how this process works between 

21 Continental and United airlines. 

22 Ms. Flores testified to some of it.

1 Continental has a unit of people based on the east 

2 side of the field, of the airport in Guam who 

3 packages and prepares documents for items that 

4 Continental wants to ship. 

5 And they notify Asia Pacific Airlines 

6 that they have an engine. We say, "Fine, we've 

7 done that before." The engine is brought to us on 

8 the west side of the field along with the 

9 documents. 

10 In this particular case, the engine was 

11 delivered a bit late. The crew was already in the 

12 process of setting up the flight. And when we saw 

13 the documents, the airway bill and the documents 

14 on the engine we said, "Hey, wait a minute. This 

15 eng1ne is too heavy for us to carry.'' 

16 We're well aware of the limitations of 

17 our airplanes. We're well aware of the 10,000 

18 pound limit for the pallet position number 8 in 

19 which the engine was loaded. We don't contest 

20 that. 

21 We went back to Continental and said, 

22 "You've got to take some stuff off this engine and 

(202) 234-4433

1 get the weight down, which they did." That's the 

2 316 pounds that wound up on a separate pallet in 

3 the back of the airplane. 

4 Over the years, to the knowledge of the 

5 people that worked for me in Guam, Continental has 

6 never weighed one of these engines because their 

7 scales don't go that high in Guam, or did not at 

8 that time. 

9 They've subsequently got a new scale, 

10 in part as a result of this investigation. So I 

11 guess there's some benefit to it. 

12 There was other things involved here. 

13 This particular flight was scheduled to fly from 

14 Guam to Ponape and then to Majuro, and then to 

15 Honolulu since our aircraft doesn't have the 

16 capability of flying to Honolulu non-stop. 

17 And we were constrained that day by the 

18 fact that they were doing work on the runway on 

19 Ponape and they were going to close the airport. 

20 And everybody was in a panic to try to get this 

21 paperwork done correctly. 

22 We were confident that after they took

NEAL R. GROSS

WASHINGTON. D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433 
2-13 7 

1 the weight off the engine, even though the casters 

2 were still on, that we were under 10,000 pounds. 

3 We have already agreed with the FAA that the 

4 paperwork was incorrect. 

5 That said, I would say that it's a 

6 common practice to spread weights that weigh more 

7 than an individual pallet position over multiple 

8 positions. In this case, the three positions 

9 involved were positions seven, eight and nine. 

10 And as already has been testified, the 

11 engine was in position eight, and I believe that 

12 Inspector Kanae said that positions seven and nine 

13 were empty. 

14 And so the maximum weights across those 

15 three positions are something like a little bit 

16 more than 28,000 pounds that you would have been 

17 able to put in those three positions. 

18 That said, in order to do this 

19 properly, if the engine had actually weighed more 

20 than 10,000 pounds, you would have had to put it 

21 on a pallet and braced it to where some of the 

22 weight was actually in the other pallet positions.

1 I'm not sure if I'm making that 

2 entirely clear. Do you know what I'm saying? 

3 JUDGE GOODWIN: Yes. So from my 

4 standpoint, some of the weight would have to be in 

5 zone seven or nine? 

6 THE WITNESS: Right. And it could have 

7 just been a few inches in. 

8 JUDGE GOODWIN: Right, I understand. 

9 THE WITNESS: But it would have had to 

10 have been some kind of a bearing on the floor. 

11 JUDGE GOODWIN: Right, okay. 

12 THE WITNESS: We were confident that 

13 the engine weighed less than 10,000 pounds. The 

14 paperwork didn't reflect that necessarily; the 

15 paperwork was filled out incorrectly. 

16 And we had to get the flight off. We 

17 didn't have enough time to get all this paperwork 

18 done. Inspector Kanae testified that it takes 

19 about 15 minutes to do the weight and balance 

2 0 sheet. And yes, sometimes you can get it done in 

21 15 minutes.

1 complicated document. And so for at least a year 

2 or two, we've agreed to be fine for having a 

3 paperwork error. But only if they drop the 

4 overweight engine charge, because in our view, 

5 they have absolutely no evidence that it weighed 

6 more than 10,000 pounds. 

7 And I can assert that the engine was 

8 not weighed in Guam because at the time, they 

9 didn't have a scale to weigh something this heavy, 

10 or as heavy as they claim it to be. 

11 Another aspect of this is that while we 

12 believe it's important to toe the line and run 

13 these guidelines, we have an aircraft that takes 

14 off at 100 tons, 200,000 pounds. It carries 

15 55,000 pounds of cargo; 400 pounds is nothing in 

16 the scheme of things. 

17 It's a very, very minor amount of 

18 weight in context of what we do. I've described 

19 it as the government coming after us for doing 31 

20 miles an hour in a 30 zone. That's about the 

21 equivalent of it. 

22 And so after Inspector wrote me the

1 letter saying he was starting the investigation, 

2 I replied to him two weeks later. And he says 

3 that he never got that letter, however the FAA 

4 gave it as part of their evidence later that year 

5 when they made their case. 

6 And my problem with this is that I 

7 wrote my letter to Inspector Kanae, I showed him 

8 evidence of what the engine weighed. I showed him 

9 evidence of what the stand weighed with the 

10 casters on it. It came out to less than what they 

11 were asserting. 

12 And even after we added back in the 

13 pallet weight, the weight of the wood supports and 

14 the nets, it still was less than 10,000 pounds, 

15 and he never replied to that. 

16 And typically, in my 35 years in this 

17 business, the FAA wouldn 1 t just ship something off 

18 to the legal team. They would call you and say, 

19 you know, are you going to respond to my letter or 

2 0 did you respond or what. They would send an email 

21 before sending it off. 

22 And so when I didn 1 t hear back from

1 Inspector Kanae, I assumed the case had gone away, 

2 which is typically how a lot of these things 

3 occur. So when I got the letter from Mr. Bobetz 

4 six months later, I was shocked. 

5 And not only was I shocked that 

6 Inspector Kanae would ignore the evidence that I 

7 had submitted, but that the attorneys would also 

8 ignore it. And --

9 MR. BOBERTZ : Obj ecticn, calls for 

10 speculation. 

11 JUDGE GOODWIN: I understand that, take 

12 it into consideration. Overruled. 

13 THE WITNESS: I have a lot of 

14 experience with commercial engines. I'm not so 

15 sure how much experience that Inspector Kanae has, 

16 but engines on an airplane, a commercial airplane, 

17 you know, there's a bare engine. 

18 Then there's certain equipment that is 

19 normally shipped with an engine like fuel control 

20 and a gear box. And then there's additional 

21 equipment like generators and starters that 

22 sometimes is shipped with an engine, sometimes

1 it's not. 

2 There's multiple pieces of equipment 

3 generally called a quick engine change consisting 

4 of plumbing, wires, ducting, all sorts of things 

5 that all have weight. Sometimes they're shipped 

6 with the engine, and sometimes they're not. 

7 Continental did not keep a record of 

8 what was on this engine or what was not on this 

9 engine. We searched for it in hopes of proving 

10 our case, and they said they don't keep that 

11 record. 

12 What they do when they have an engine 

13 is they pull something out of the drawer that says 

14 the engine weighs this, the stand weighs this, 

15 they add it all up and they put the number on a 

16 piece of paper. 

17 This engine was never weighed in Guam; 

18 it was never weighed in Honolulu. And as Ms. 

19 Flores testified, there's no way to weigh an 

20 individual, no way to weigh an engine. 

21 I know that's a hard concept, but it's 

22 not an approved procedure to take an engine and

1 set it down on the ground without it being on some 

2 sort of a stand. And so the only way that you can 

3 know what the engine weighs is you have to do an 

4 audit of what's on it, the individual pieces, and 

5 that was never done. 

6 And this engine was covered, it clearly 

7 is shown in the picture, Exhibit 2, that it was 

8 covered. And so it's impossible to tell from 

9 looking at this picture whether any of these items 

10 were or were not on the airplane. 

11 And so the FAA's case about this engine 

12 being overweight is entirely speculative. And as 

13 I said, we got in a hurry, we didn't do the 

14 paperwork correct. And we've agreed for years to 

15 pay a fine, but we don't agree to the level of the 

16 fine and that's another separate argument. 

17 And I have no objection to Ms. Flores 

18 testifying in this case, but she was not involved 

19 directly with this engine in question. And you 

20 know, nothing that she said, in my Vlew, has a 

21 bearing on this particular case. 

22 She's observed other engines, she's

1 observed various bits and pieces of it, but never 

2 collectively this engine. And as I've said, we've 

3 carried engines, they've spread across a lot of 

4 different weights. And it's our firm view that 

5 this engine did not weigh more than 10, 000 pounds. 

6 And I think that's probably all I have. 

7 JUDGE GOODWIN: Mr. Bobertz, any 

8 inquiry? 

9 MR. BOBERTZ: Yes, thank you, Your 

10 Honor. 

11 CROSS EXAMINATION 

12 MR. BOBERTZ: So Mr. Quinn, you 

13 testified that you contacted, you got the engine, 

14 the documents, and you said you knew it was wrong; 

15 the engine wasn't over 10,000 pounds. So you 

16 asked Continental to remove some weight and they 

17 did, 316 pounds, isn't that correct? 

18 THE WITNESS: Yes. 

19 BY MR. BOBERTZ: 

20 Q So I'm looking at Administrator's 

21 Exhibit A-5 and I see that. I see that 316 pounds 

22 was actually removed on Continental Airlines Unit 

(202) 234-4433 

NEAL R. GROSS 

COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433 
2-145 

1 Load Device, two pieces were removed. 

2 And then looking at Exhibit A-6 as 

3 we've talked before, the remaining weight from 

4 that 10,400 pounds was 10,084. And when you add 

5 the pallet and the straps and whatnot of 458 

6 pounds, you get to 10,542 pounds. 

7 So I guess I'm a little confused 

8 because you're saying you didn't have time to 

9 correct the documents, but yet apparently United 

10 or Continental went back and corrected this 

11 document for you because now it shows 316 pounds 

12 off here, and reduced the engine weight according. 

13 And there you have it. So it looks 1 ike the 

14 corrections you asked for were made by 

15 Continental. 

16 A Well, the document that I think you're 

17 referring to is A-4, initially? 

18 Q No, I'm looking at A-5 and A-6 where 

19 they show that 316 pounds. It's also on your 

20 document as well, A-4, you're correct, 316 pounds 

21 removed from the total engine weight. 

22 A 

(202) 234-4433 

You know, I don't question that. What

1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., NW 

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433 
2-146 

1 I questioned was that the weights that came over 

2 originally, the 10,400 pounds on the airway bill, 

3 which is what we got, was incorrect. From 

4 previous experience and from the facts, I mean, I 

5 guess it's hard for me to describe. 

6 You know, the engine comes over, it's 

7 sitting there. You got the flight crews rapidly 

8 trying to figure out the paperwork. We're trying 

9 to get the flight out because they're going to 

10 close the airport and it's going to be delayed a 

11 couple of days if that happens. 

12 And we asked them to fix these things 

13 and they scratched out some new numbers. But it 

14 started from not from weighing anything but from 

15 a file in a drawer. 

16 Q So how do they have time to scratch out 

17 the new numbers but not correct the original 

18 starting weight? They have time to glve you a --

19 A Because that would have required going 

20 back across the field and having a new airway bill 

21 because people on our side of the field don't do 

22 airway bills. 

(202) 234-4433 

And it takes 15 or 20 minutes 

NEAL R. GROSS

1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W. 

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433

1 probably to get from one side of the field to the 

2 other. 

3 Q So you said you requested corrected 

4 bills, or corrected documents. So you're saying 

5 that the Exhibits 5 and 6 were corrected, but that 

6 Exhibit A wasn't. But you did ask Continental for 

7 corrected documents. 

8 So where is the corrected version, 

9 albeit maybe you didn't wait for -- you took off 

10 before you got it. Where is the corrected 

11 document from Continental then? 

12 A Well, you know, Exhibit 4 is an Asia 

13 Pacific document. And we believe that that 

14 document is based on information that we were 

15 provided by, and I'm going to assume this is 

16 Continental Cargo as opposed to the shipping 

17 group, after we asked them to remove some things 

18 from this engine. 

19 And Exhibits 5 and 6, I honestly don't 

2 0 know how exactly they're connected other than the 

21 fact that it shows the 316 pounds migrating on to 

22 this separate pallet.

1 Q So you're saying you're so sure the 

2 weight was wrong, yet you didn't even correct your 

3 own document, your own cargo manifest to show the 

4 correct weight. 

5 A Now, we've admitted to the fact that 

6 the paperwork is incorrect. We were in a 

7 difficult position. Continental was saying please 

B take our engine, we need to get it out, we're in 

9 a hurry. We're trying to get the flight out. 

10 We operate in a very difficult 

11 environment, okay? And we were satisfied that we 

12 had questioned them on the engine, that we had got 

13 them to reduce it below 10,000 pounds. 

14 Then we got bogged down in trying to 

15 get the paperwork correct because at APA there's 

16 several people involved, but there's also several 

17 people on both sides of the airport at Continental 

18 that are involved, that you know, that are 

19 responsible for getting the paperwork right. 

20 We eventually decided, and you know, we 

21 will allow that it's a mistake although a minor 

2 2 one, we left with incorrect paperwork. We didn't

1 have the 20 minutes to re-do the Exhibit 1 or to 

2 get a new airway bill typed up and across the 

3 field back and forth. 

4 I mean, that's a process; getting a new 

5 airway bill probably would have taken an hour at 

6 best. 

7 Q So you never got corrected documents, 

8 is that what you're saying? 

9 A Yes. 

10 Q Isn't that because the documents that 

11 we have in front of us are correct, that 

12 Continental probably refused to correct documents 

13 that were already correct? 

14 A No, we don't believe they are correct. 

15 Q Who did you contact at Continental to 

16 get corrected documents? 

17 A I'm going to guess that that was a 

18 conversation between Mr. Walker and Rose Onedera. 

19 That would have been the beginning of the process 

20 now. 

21 Rose probably might have contacted Ms.

13 plus or minus 1,000 pounds depending on what was 

14 attached to it and what was not attached to it.

16 what wasn't attached to it. The engine was never

19 that would prove that this engine weighed 

20 anything. It came off a piece of paper in

1 Yet, within a month plus or minus of

1 testified that you took of with it knowingly 

2 incorrect because you didn r t have the time to 

3 correct it. Did you correct it after the fact, 

4 then? 

5 THE WITNESS: Well, I didn't take off 

6 with it; the flight crew took off with it. And 

7 typically, they would not correct it once the 

8 flight took off. It becomes a matter of record, 

9 we're required to keep these for 90 days on file.

11 paperwork from Continental never got corrected, 

12 they wouldn't have had anything else to base a 

13 correction on. And again, you know, the amount of 

14 pounds that are over here are tiny and 

15 insignificant given the size of this airplane and

1 A It's complicated. They're engineers. 

2 They have metal studies, but they always calculate 

3 in 10 or 15 percent gravy over what they really 

4 think the numbers are. 

5 Q And why is that?

9 unlike a passenger carrier. 

10 You have a 777 that holds 350 people.

12 goes onto the airplane. They have a round number 

13 that they use. And on any given day, on an 

14 airplane of that size it could be off by several 

15 thousand pounds, plus or minus.

1 keep manuals, to keep any of our training 

2 materials, to keep anything. That had all gone 

3 back to Mr. Gazda's residence, which is 40 miles 

4 away from the Training Center. 

5 And, this case, this particular case, 

6 has two parts. One is, did Asia Pacific Airlines 

7 submit the manuals in a timely fashion to Mr. 

8 Gazda, and the answer is, yes, we did, and we've 

9 shown records indicating that. 

10 The second part of it is, did Mr. Gazda 

11 keep the manuals in order, and/or did he use these 

12 manuals during training when they were not up to 

13 date. And, the answer is, he may have been a 

14 little lax in installing the revisions to these 

15 manuals, but he had them, he acknowledgedhaving 

16 them, and he conducted no training with the 

17 manuals that are out of date. 

18 And, the second part of the FAR 137 (b) 

19 clearly points the finger and is targeted towards 

20 individual flight crew members, and instructors, 

21 and training instructors such as Mr. Gazda. And, 

22 once Mr. Gazda tells us that he has the manual,

1 then we have no other reason to believe that he 

2 did not have them, no other reason to check that 

3 he had them at that point, other than maybe during 

4 a regular training class, which was not being 

5 conducted. 

6 Had Inspector Kanae gone to Florida 

7 during a training session, and had these manuals 

8 been sitting on the desk involved in the training, 

9 then he would have a case, but that didn't happen. 

10 And, it's mystifying to me, as the 

11 President of a small airline, why the FAA would be 

12 so persistent trying to fine us, flipping back and 

13 forth between one charge, then another charge, and 

14 then a combination of charges, over something like 

15 this, to the point of still having it carrying on 

16 four years later, with people flying all over the 

17 planet, hotel rooms, subpoenas, et cetera, et 

18 cetera. It's just almost beyond belief to me that 

19 they would persist doing this.

1 the same level of fines that they would put to 

2 American Airlines or United Airlines, that have 

3 100,000 people, and 600 airplanes, and fly 

4 passengers, not boxes, or dead fish. 

5 I have here a piece of paper saying the 

6 FAA proposes a $547,000 civil penalty against 

7 Hawaiian Airlines. I presume this is a fine 

8 originated by the Honolulu CMO. 

9 MR. BOBERTZ: Objection, relevance. 

10 MR. QUINN: And, the relevance is, is 

11 that here's a passenger airline. The FAA alleges 

12 Hawaiian operated the aircraft more than 5,000 

13 times with people on it for an airworthiness 

14 directive that had not been completed. And, they 

15 are fining, or proposing a $547,000 fine, which 

16 comes out to $109.50 per incident, where Hawaiian, 

17 ostensibly, put passengers at risk. 

18 And, I have the FAA, and Ms. Tsuda, and 

19 her outfit down in Los Angeles, claiming that they 

20 can charge us $27,000 per incident over a minor 

21 paperwork error in training that really has no

1 We have 45 people in our company. The

11 BY MR. BOBERTZ: 

12 Q Mr. Quinn, you testified that there 

13 were two parts to this manual case. And, part of 

14 it was that regarding APA submitting revisions to 

15 its Chief on a timely manner. And, you asserted 

16 that they did. 

17 Can you please look at, I'll refer to 

18 Administrator'sExhibitA-2, I'm sorry, ExhibitA19 4. And, referring to the GOM Manual, which was 

20 issued, Revision 22 issued February, 2009, and 

21 distributed to Mr. Gazda on October, 2010. I 

22 think that's about 20 months later.

1 So, are you saying that that is --Asia 

2 Pacific distributed that manual in a timely 

3 manner? 

4 A The answer is that at some point when 

5 we were doing all of this, we recognized that he 

6 didn't have it, or we thought that he didn't have 

7 it, so we resent it to him. 

8 I believe I have a document here that 

9 indicates that it was sent to him much earlier, 

10 back in February or March of '09. I'm going to 

11 have to look for it. 

12 Q So, you are saying he sent it, 

13 apparently, he had to send it to Mr. Gazda twice? 

14 A Yes. 

15 Q And yet, after sending it to him twice, 

16 it still was not in his manual when Inspector 

17 conducted his inspection in December, 2010. And 

18 yet, even after the inspection, it took until 

19 January 21, 2011, for Mr. Gazda to, actually, 

20 insert that revision in his manual. 

21 A Well, it's like I said. You know, the 

22 General Operations Manual is close to a 600-page

1 manual. We've had revisions sent out. We send 

2 the revisions out, the person receives the 

3 revision. And, sometimes they sign this document 

4 and send it back right away saying that they 

5 received it, but they don't, actually, install it 

6 in their manual, because that takes time. And, 

7 you know, maybe they are going out to dinner, they 

8 just got the mail, they sign this, they send it 

9 back, and they throw the change in the manual in 

10 a box, or on the shelf, or whatever. This is the 

11 normal way that pilots and instructors do 

12 business. 

13 The question is, you know, what did he 

14 do after that? Did he read it? Did he install it 

15 in the manual? He's required by the law, by FAR, 

16 to install it in the manual the next time he uses 

17 the manual, which would have been in a training 

18 session. 

19 And, I have to assume that he did that. 

2 0 There's no evidence that he didn't do it. There's 

21 no evidence that he didn't take whatever this 

22 particular change was into consideration.

1 You know, sometimes, and I don't have 

2 it in front of me, I don't know what this 

3 revision, actually, entailed, but it could have 

4 been a single page, it could have been just a 

5 couple of pages in a 600-page manual. And, it 

6 might have had, absolutely, no I'm searching 

7 for the word -- it might have been a change that 

8 had no connection whatsoever to the actual 

9 training of the pilot. 

10 Q Mr. Quinn, isn't an air carrier, such 

11 as yourself, required to operate it at the highest 

12 standard of care? 

13 A Yes, it is. 

14 Q And, would you call your what appeared 

15 to be a lackadaisical attitude about the manual 

16 updates, operating at the highest standard of 

17 care, throwing them in a box, perhaps, updating 

18 them when you get around to it, 22 months later? 

19 A You know, look, I can't speak for Mr. 

2 0 Gazda. As I said, he's not a direct employee. I 

21 would say that the airline has an obligation to 

22 make sure that he has all the documents that are

1 required for our particular training, but he does 

2 training for other people also. 

3 Q Isn't Mr. Gazda in charge of your 

4 training? 

5 A I would say that he is not. 

6 Q Who is in charge of your training? 

7 A That would have been Mr. Resling, Vice 

B President of Operations at the time. 

9 Q Did you assign Mr. Gazda to conduct the 

10 inspection with Inspector Kanae in Florida? 

11 A I personally didn't, but I believe Mr. 

12 Kanae said that he had discussed it with Mr. 

13 Resling at some point. I don't know exactly when, 

14 presumably, some time in November of 2010. 

15 And, I would have, in turn, expected 

16 Mr. Resling to make sure that Mr. Gazda had 

17 everything that was required. 

18 I don't know exactly what happened, but 

19 I would say that the subject was that Clarence, 

20 that Mr. Kanae was going to visit Mr. Gazda to do 

21 some ATOS questions, not examine actual training, 

22 not to look at manuals, what have you.

1 And so, I think that probably came as 

2 a surprise. Otherwise, Mr. Gazda would have made 

3 sure that his manuals were up to date. Mr. 

4 Resling would have made sure that they were up to 

5 date before they ever surfaced ln front of 

6 Inspector Kanae. 

7 And, you know, I don't know what else 

8 -- what other type of action that the company 

9 could have taken here. 

10 Q Mr. Quinn, you also mentioned that 

11 there was no -- I think you stated that there was 

12 no training with the manuals out of date. So, are 

' 

13 you saying that there was no training between the 

14 time the manual was issued in February, 2009, both 

15 manuals, for the GOM, Revision 22 issued February, 

16 2009, the training manual Revision 6 issued 

17 February 9, 2009, and 22 months later when 

18 Inspector Kanae conducted his visit, his 

19 inspection, and again, those revisions were not in 

20 the manual? So, there was no training conducted 

21 for those 22 months? 

22 A I didn't say that. What I said was, I

1 believe, that when the normal training goes on, 

2 our flight crew members are required to take the 

3 General Operating Manual and one other manual with 

4 them to train, and that they are checked by the 

5 training instructors for relevant revisions, and 

6 that those are the General Operations Manuals that 

7 are, actually, used during training. 

8 I would also add that the GOM, while 

9 there are parts of it that apply to training, it 

10 would be a minor part of it. And, the instructors 

11 themselves don't usually carry their own manuals 

12 every time they go to training. They have them, 

13 they study them, they read them, but they don't, 

14 necessarily, take them to training. They don't use 

15 them during training. They use the manuals that 

16 the pilots have. 

17 I have a letter here from Mr. Resling 

18 to Inspector Kanae, dated June 12, 2009, referring 

19 to, he says, "Enclosed you will find Revision 22 

20 to our General Operations Manual." This would have 

21 been the point at which Mr. Resling would have 

22 sent out Revision 22 to all parties.

1 And, unfortunately, because after he 

2 died I couldn't get access to everything on his 

3 computer, because it was password restricted, I 

4 couldn't, actually, access the documents that Mr. 

5 Resling sent out. But, it's my belief that in 

6 June of 2009, he sent out Revision 22 to all the 

7 parties that were required to have them. 

8 Q Let's go back to the training. So, let 

9 me understand, the pilots themselves have their 

10 own training manuals, so you are saying that they, 

11 or you are speculating that they likely had 

12 manuals that were update, and they use those, not 

13 the outdated manuals that they maintained at the 

14 training facility? 

15 A My crew members themselves would not 

16 have the Flight Operations Training Manual.

18 A You know, that's held by the company 

19 and the instructors, Mr. Gazda.

1 would depend on what the training was.

4 A Do I know that? I don't think I can 

5 assert 100 percent that it did not. It's a

12 with respect to the Flight Operations Training 

13 Manual, that one of the changes involved simply 

14 identifying the simulators in one of the 

15 appendices, okay? And, this was something that 

16 was done, I believe, as part of the transition 

17 from the Part 142 school, who would have had to 

18 maintain that record, over to the Asia Pacific 

19 training program that we were trying to get done 

20 during that period.

5 years, I'm not sure exactly, but some length of 

6 time, exactly the same simulators that they just 

7 now had to be identified in our manual. That has 

8 no bearing on the training, none. 

9 And so, Mr. Gazda would have gotten 

10 that revision, he would have looked at it and 

11 said, okay, I see why they are doing this, this 

12 goes in, but it wouldn't have changed anything 

13 with respect to how the training was conducted. 

14 MR. BOBERTZ: Your Honor, I have what's 

15 been marked as Administrator's Exhibits A-9, A-10

2 BY MR. BOBERTZ: 

3 Q Mr. Quinn, I'vehandedyouwhat'sbeen 

4 marked for identification purposes as 

5 Administrator's Exhibit A-9; A-10, A-11. 

6 Starting with A- 9, can you tell me what 

7 that document is? 

8 A Yes. It is a pilot proficiency report 

9 for Mr. Gazda, dated June of 2010. 

10 Q And, there's a part to the left circled 

11 that says, "Check." What does that mean? 

12 A I think that indicates that it was a 

13 proficiency check, as opposed to a LOFT, which is 

14 a separate function. 

15 Q And, what is a proficiency check? 

16 A That's a simulator period where the 

17 instructor gets checked by a different instructor 

18 as to his proficiency in the airplane. 

19 Q So, is this a record of Richard Gazda's 

20 training for 6/15/2010? 

21 A I think that's probably correct.

1 Exhibit Administrator's Exhibit A-9 into 

2 evidence. 

3 MR. QUINN: I'm not sure what the 

4 relevancy of this is. 

5 MR. BOBERTZ: The relevancy is that 

6 there has been some discussion, and I believe 

7 assertions on your part, that there wasn't 

8 training going on with the outdated manuals, and 

9 this shows Richard Gazda, in fact himself, the 

10 person in charge of training for Aero Micronesia, 

11 getting himself training in June of 2010, when, in 

12 fact, he had the manuals in his possession that 

13 were outdated. 

14 MR. QUINN: Well, unless you can connect 

15 some specific section of the FOTM that might have 

16 been violated during this check ride, that 

17 wouldn't -- you know, that makes no sense. 

18 MR. BOBERTZ: That's your argument.

8 A A-10? Okay. Is that one page, or 

9 everything from there to the end? 

10 Q You can start with the first page. 

11 A Okay. 

12 Q So, I see it says at the top, B-727 

13 recurrent training. It looks like a name, Craig 

14 Holmes, that's, perhaps, a summary of Mr. Holmes' 

15 727 recurrent training. 

16 A That's what it appears to be, yes. 

17 Q Do you have any reason to doubt that 

18 this is accurate? 

19 A No, and I note at the bottom of the 

20 page that it was reviewed by Mr. Resling, our Vice

2 Q And now, I would ask you to look at, 

3 Mr. Quinn, what's been marked for identification

5 A Okay. 

6 Q On the top it says, "Pilot

3 JUDGE GOODWIN: Is the name on Exhibit

1 MR. QUINN: The only thing that occurs 

2 to me is that this June 12, 2009 letter that I 

3 referred to has not been entered into evidence, 

4 and I would like to enter it. 

5 JUDGE GOODWIN: What letter was that? 

6 MR. QUINN: A letter from Mr. Resling, 

7 our Vice President of Operations, to Mr. Kanae, 

8 regarding the Revision 22 to the General 

9 Operations Manual. 

10 JUDGE GOODWIN: Okay, any objection to

1 admit it or not yet. 

2 MR. QUINN: All I can say is this. If 

3 Mr. Resling were alive he could testify at this 

4 hearing. He isn't. We weren't able to access 

5 everything that was on his computer, because it 

6 was password protected. 

7 MR. BOBERTZ: I'm sorry, let me correct, 

8 I don't have any problem admitting this document. 

9 I think the testimony, along with the document, 

10 was that this was given to everybody, but it's, 

11 actually, addressed, specifically, to Inspector 

12 Kanae. So, there's no evidence that the Revision 

13 22 was also sent to everyone else that I believe 

14 the testimony indicated. 

15 JUDGE GOODWIN: Well, to avoid the dead 

16 man rule, I'm going to allow the exhibit to be 

17 entered into evidence. But, the document is going 

18 to speak for itself. 

19 Mr. Quinn, the dead man rule relates to 

2 o someone who is not present to testify by reason of 

21 their demise, and it's a complex area. If this 

22 was authored -- well, the FAA is not objecting to

1 its admission, so it will be admitted. It will be 

2 considered, and whatever it says, it says, and I'm 

3 not going to allow any inquiry from either one of 

4 you into what's beyond the four corners of the 

5 letter. 

6 MR. QUINN: I appreciate that, sir, but 

7 also --

8 JUDGE GOODWIN: I mean, your testimony 

9 -- you tried to get into the computer and couldn't 

10 because it was passworded, and, certainly, that's 

11 admitted. But, beyond the contents of the letter, 

12 the letter is going to speak for itself. 

13 MR. QUINN: Well, other than you 

14 know, other than our standard procedure, whenever 

15 a revision is finalized, we prepare packages, and 

16 eitherMr. Reslingormyself, usuallyMr. Resling, 

17 would prepare a package of distribution for our 

18 office managers and send it out. 

19 All this does is show that this is the 

20 time --

22 right.

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005·3701 (202) 234·4433 
2-187 

1 MR. QUINN: it acknowledges this 

2 particular revision, and acknowledges that it was 

3 sent to Mr. Kanae in June of 2009. 

4 And, not being able to confer with Mr. 

5 Resling, I assume that he sent it out to everyone 

6 else at that point. I just don't have access to 

7 records for it. 

8 JUDGE GOODWIN: I understand. As I 

9 said, the letter will speak for itself. 

10 Anything else? 

11 MR. QUINN: No, I have nothing further. 

12 JUDGE GOODWIN: Okay. 

13 MR. BOBERTZ: Is that R-3? 

14 JUDGE GOODWIN: It's either R-3 or R-4. 

15 I'm going to look at the documents. What I try to 

16 do is make descriptors. 

17 Mr. Bobertz, the first document is 

18 interpretation 1988-7. I'm showing that as R-1 

19 for identification, and I took judicial notice of 

20 that. 

21 MR. BOBERTZ: Yes. 

22 JUDGE GOODWIN: The second document was

NEAL R. GROSS

1 

2 MR. QUINN: Was the second document that 

3 list of --

4 JUDGE GOODWIN: -- I'm checking, I'll 

5 tell you what it is in a second. 

6 MR. QUINN: Oh, okay. 

7 JUDGE GOODWIN: I haven't mastered 

8 typing and talking at the same time yet. 

9 The second document is, in the upper 

10 left-hand corner it says, "MYFAA Employee Site," 

11 it's and EISQB Violator Query Results. The page 

12 was printed on 5/10/2011, that was marked for 

13 identification as R-2, and not received. 

14 The next document the problem with 

15 separating Exhibits 1 and 2 is, they have, 

16 virtually, the same they are both EISQB 

17 violator other results related to AWP213CK. The 

18 only difference is the time stamp in the upper 

19 right-hand corner. 

20 Exhibit 2 has a time stamp of 5/10/2011 

21 at 10:50:24 a.m., and the other 

22 Respondent's -- are these the same? 

(202) 234-4433 

NEAL R. GROSS 

COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 

one is 

(202) 234-4433 
2-189 

1 MR. QUINN: No, that's the second page. 

2 JUDGE GOODWIN: Oh, okay, all right, 

3 then I need to-- okay, my error-- Respondent's 

4 2 for identification is MYFAA Employee EISQB 

5 Violator Other Query Results, by AWP213CK. It's 

6 a two-page document. 

7 And again, it was not received, and 

8 I'll try to find a stapler somewhere here. 

9 Respondent's 3 is a Aviation Data 

10 Systems Branch/AFS 620 run, done on 11 April, 

11 2012. It's a three-page document, again, that was 

12 not received. 

13 And then the last one is a letter 

14 I just realized that I forgot to explain in both 

15 cases. The Court's methodology is that I write ID 

16 in pencil on the document when it's marked. When 

17 I introduce it, I draw a line through ID and I put 

18 the date. 

19 So, Respondent's 4 for identification 

20 is a letter dated June 12, 2009, over the 

21 signature of Mr. Resling, addressed to Mr. Kanae, 

22 and it's received into evidence as Respondent's 4.

1 not ill-content towards our airline by the 

2 Regional Counsel. 

3 JUDGE GOODWIN: Well, I don't consider 

4 any of that relevant. You can introduce it, but 

5 the Court doesn't take into account motive. 

6 As I said, it gets back to an issue of 

7 prosecutorial discretion, which is a very broad 

8 concept, and a prosecutor, in any situation, has 

9 wide latitude in bringing certain actions or not 

10 bringing certain actions. 

11 And, the fact that they may bring an 

12 action against the biggest airline in the world or 

13 not, or vice versa, isn't relevant to my 

14 deliberations. I have no authority over that. 

15 That's an equity issue. I look at the 

16 regulatia1S. I look at the facts presented, and 

17 I make my decision based on the facts and the 

18 regulations. 

19 And, the same would be true whether--

2 0 there's no evidence in this case that you did any 

21 -- that APA did anything maliciously, and in many 

22 cases that's not relevant.

1 So, I would not find it particularly 

2 helpful or relevant to the facts of this case. 

3 MR. QUINN: Where would prosecutorial 

4 misconduct come into play here? 

5 JUDGE GOODWIN: That's not an issue 

6 before me. 

7 MR. QUINN: I see. Okay. 

8 JUDGE GOODWIN: Now, as I indicated in 

9 my original procedural order, I think the facts of

12 both of you, if you want to, to brief the case 

13 after the transcript is prepared.

15 MR. BOBERTZ: Yes, I thought that was 

16 standard course. 

17 JUDGE GOODWIN: Okay. 

18 MR. BOBERTZ: We were doing closing 

19 arguments by written. 

20 JUDGE GOODWIN: That's one of so, 

21 what I, typically, do, Mr. Quinn, is, it takes 

22 about two weeks, give or take, for the transcript

1 to be prepared and transmitted to my office. 

2 At that point, it, s, typically, 

3 transmitted to the FAA Headquarters in Washington, 

4 D.C., and then some time thereafter it will arrive 

5 on Mr. Bobertz's desk. 

6 What I'm going to invite the two of you 

7 to do, Mr. Bobertz, when you get the transcript, 

8 if you'll communicate with Mr. Quinn, if the two 

9 of you could work out a briefing schedule. Now, 

10 my normal schedule is, the FAA would brief shortly 

11 after the transcript, they get the transcript. 

12 Two weeks thereafter, Mr. Quinn would file a reply 

13 brief, and then the FAA has an opportunity for 

14 surrebuttal about a week. 

15 I'm not married to that schedule. I 

16 know, Mr. Quinn, you have a busy schedule. I know 

17 Mr. Bobertz does. So, if the two of you can agree 

18 on a schedule, send an email, tell me what the 

19 schedule is, and I'll sign an order to that 

20 effect.

1 and I'll amend the order. 

2 I'm not sure what your schedule is, Mr. 

3 Bobertz, but I would invite you to not do anything 

4 before 2015. Most Government employees run into 

5 the situation of, we have use or lose, and, you
