The NTSB has issued a decision on the case I mentioned here. The
administrative law judge had previously refused to revoke the part 135
certificates of the two operators and instead issued an indefinite
suspension. The FAA appealed and argued for a permanent revocation, the
respondents argued for no suspension, period. The NTSB denied both appeals
an reaffirmed the law judge's decision. It is a very embarassing situation
for the FAA on the one hand, and a partial victory for the operators because
the decision points to many failures in what the FAA did in this case as
well as how it is dealing with the issue of operational control in the first
place.
This is the decision:
