Ok... suppose YOU were the FAA... and the incident occured exactly the way
it
was portrayed in the original post, and it was reported to the FAA (you).

What would you (were you the FAA) do?

Generally speaking, "keep an eye on her". I have no idea what the FAA
actually would do, or how they "keep an eye on" someone.

I wouldn't expect them to actually write a violation on the basis on that
single report, but they might contact the pilot to talk to her. Of course,
if she incriminates herself in the process, that's a different matter.
Knowing the FAA, if the pilot actually incriminated herself while talking to
the FAA, I'd expect them to throw whatever book at her they have.

If this were the fiftieth report (for example) of bad behavior on her part
that the FSDO received, I'd expect them to start *some* sort of proceedings,
if only a review (what do they call it? 409? I don't remember).
