WASHINGTON, D.C.–The Federal Aviation Administration today issued a notice appealing a decision by an NTSB Administrative Law Judge in the civil penalty case, Huerta v. Pirker.
“The FAA is appealing the decision of an NTSB Administrative Law Judge to the full National Transportation Safety Board, which has the effect of staying the decision until the Board rules. The agency is concerned that this decision could impact the safe operation of the national airspace system and the safety of people and property on the ground.”

I am a certified flight instructor and mechanic with an IA. I saw this from the beginning as an attempt of the FAA (government) to gain more control over all of us. I really believe that this has nothing to do with anyone’s safety.
I couldn’t agree more!
