Dear Judge Sullivan: 

FAA CASE: 2013-S0-950071 

Docket Number: FAA-2015-1325 

I am very sorry that I did not receive your Order until today when I returned to the office. 

I live in The Bahamas (in Nassau) since July 2015 and I only get the mail in the U.S. when I 

return. 

I see in the Order that the FAA says I received a Motion from September 28, 2015 about 

default finding and judgment. I did not receive anything like that and I would ask them to show 

us the certified mail return receipt that is in your Order. I know it wasn't received by me. I am 
happy to have them email me if they want at CHASBWI@qmail.com if that is easier so I can 

respond. 

I am a Commercial Pilot and I have a small flight school, Beach Aviation, LLC in Boca 

Raton, Florida and we started doing scenic flights in Pompano Beach, Florida. We asked the 

FAA for a letter of authorization and we contracted with a drug testing company, Flight Line from 

Fort Lauderdale International Airport to do the alcohol and drug testing prior to any flights. 

Nobody told us we needed to do pre-employment drug testing because it was only me 

who was flying the flights. I knew I had never, ever, done drugs in my life (and was in a different 

not DOT program for random drug testing anyway) and knew it wasn't an issue. I had paid a 

company to advise us, and it seems the advice was not complete. I only learned of this when 

the FAA Drug Abatement people came to inspect my records. And in fact we had a program 

and continued to have a program for the next two years even when we did not need one! 

Safety has always been our concern. 

I told them which flights I flew, hid nothing from them, and in my being young and naive , 

hoping to have fun and show people the joy of flying for $99.00 a flight, the 12 or 13 flights I did 

have cost me to lose the Scenic Tour Letter of Authorization, cost me hundreds of dollars in 

legal fees (which I cannot afford anymore and do not have a lawyer on this case}, and may cost 

$15,400.00, (but at one point the FAA offered about half). and the very worst part is that the 

FAA says I violated multiple safety regulations ... no way. I would never, ever put anyone in 

harms way and I worked to hard to become a Commercial pilot to destroy it by being unsafe. 

I did what everyone told me to do, when they told me to do it. 

I applied for a Part 141 Flight School License and the FSDO returned my application 

because they would not even process it until this issue is resolved. This has been a nightmare 

and I hope that it is over soon so we can move on and continue to help people become pilots 

and become interested in aviation. 

I am very sorry that I did not receive the mail, and that I am not able to afford an attorney 

to represent me. I would not knowingly miss any deadline and I apologize if this isn't the right 

way to respond. I don't know what I am supposed to do.
