WHAT IS A NASA REPORT? The Aviation Safety Reporting Program is administered by a neutral agency, NASA, and the reporting form is often referred to as a NASA Report. If you are an FAA certificate holder and you have committed a violation of FAA regulations, if you have timely filed a NASA report and the violation does not fall into one of the exceptions to this program, the sanction imposed for the violation will be waived. Note that you will still have a violation on your record. FILING a report is not the same as USING the report in an enforcement action, and only one report can be USED every five years. The decision to USE or not to USE a report which has been filed should take into consideration the severity of the violation, the sanction sought by the FAA, and the possibility of negotiating a sanction which may be acceptable. |

WHAT IS A LETTER OF INVESTIGATION? If you are an FAA certificate holder, and if the FAA has reason to believe you have committed a violation of regulations and no emergency exists which would justify revoking your certificate immediately, you will receive a letter from the FAA inspector investigating you. The letter will suggest that you have 10 days to provide any relevant information. The nature of your response, if any, is an important decision which may affect the outcome of your case if an enforcement action is initiated against you. |

I HAVE RECEIVED AN EMERGENCY ORDER OF REVOCATION. CAN I CHALLENGE THE “EMERGENCY?” There is a very short window of time to challenge the emergency nature of the Order. An Emergency Order is effective when it is issued, and you cannot exercise the privileges of your FAA certificate unless you win the FAA case against you, and until all appeals are exhausted. If you challenge the “emergency” and win, you can exercise the privileges of your FAA certificate while you defend yourself against the FAA’s claims against you. |
