About FAA ViolationsThe Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was formed in 1958 and governs and regulates civil aviation. The FAA regulates pilots and the aviation industry through legal enforcement actions (sanctions that may result in hefty fines and revocation of an FAA license), and administrative enforcement actions (less serious infractions that may result in a suspension). The FAA has the right to sanction or seek legal enforcement against anyone who they have issued a license to. But they do not have the right to tarnish your reputation. Please contact us today if you have issues with possible FAA regulation infractions. Some common violations of FAA regulations include Hazardous Materials Violations, Safety Violations, Flight Violations and Expired License Violations. |
