2 0 2012 

Comes Now the Respondent COASTAL AIR TRANSPORT to strongly object to the FAA's 

Alternative Motion for Hearing on Sanction Only. This action would only serve to restrict the 

Respondent from defending himself against the many ridiculous charges made against him by the FAA. 

Many of these charges are malicious in nature and have no basis in fact. Statements made by the FAA in 

their ple~dl,ng;s, .serve to directly contradict.mgny of these charges. To deny the Respondent the • It,.. ·,•··' ' ' I ' • . ,.,. . ' ' • ~' 

opportunity to this defense, goes against the grain of the American legal system. 

After a through review of all the charges, the only undisputed fact is that Coastal Air did 

complete a flight "DQ 413" on October 21, 2009. This flight was piloted by Capt. Michael Foster from St 

Eustatius, N.A. to St Croix, V.I.
