SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Administrative Procedure Act requires 
Federal agencies to maintain and make available for public inspection 
and copying current indexes containing identifying information 
regarding materials required to be made available or published. 5 
U.S.C. 552(a)(2), In a notice issued on July 11, 1990, and published in 
the Federal Register (55 FR 29148; July 17, 1990), the FAA announced 
the public availability of several indexes and summaries that provide 
identifying information about the decisions and orders issued by the 
Administrator under the FAA's civil penalty assessment authority and 
the rules of practice governing hearings and appeals of civil penalty 
actions. 14 CFR Part 13, Subpart G.
    The FAA maintains an index of the Administrator's decisions and 
orders in civil penalty actions organized by order number and 
containing identifying information about each decision or order. The 
FAA also maintains a cumulative subject-matter index and digests 
organized by order number. The indexes are published on a quarterly 
basis (i.e., January, April, July, and October.)

[[Page 47558]]

    The FAA first published these indexes and digests for all decisions 
and orders issued by the Administrator through September 30, 1990. 55 
FR 45984; October 31, 1990. The FAA announced in that notice that only 
the subject-matter index would be published cumulatively and that the 
order number index would be non-cumulative. The FAA announced in a 
later notice that the order number indexes published in January would 
reflect all of the civil penalty decisions for the previous year. 58 FR 
4055; 1/19/93.
    The previous quarterly publications of these indexes have appeared 
in the Federal Register as follows:

Civil Penalty Actions--Orders Issued By the Administrator

Digests

(Current as of June 30, 2000)
    The digests of the Administrator's final decisions and orders are 
arranged by order number, and briefly summarize key points of the 
decision. The following compilation of digests includes all final 
decisions and orders issued by the Administrator from April 1, 1999, to 
June 30, 1999. The FAA will publish non-cumulative supplements to this 
compilation on a quarterly basis (e.g., April, July, October, and 
January of each year).
    These digests do not constitute legal authority, and should not be 
cited or relied upon as such. The digests are not intended to serve as 
a substitute for proper legal research. Parties, attorneys, and other 
interested persons should always consult the full text of the 
Administrator's decisions before citing them in any context.

In the Matter of USA Jet Airlines, Inc.

Order No. 2008-8 (5/9/2000)
    Appeal Dismissed. USA Jet Airlines withdrew its appeal; therefore, 
its appeal is dismissed.

In the Matter of Tundra Copters, Inc.

Order No. 2000-9 (5/11/2000)
    Appeal Dismissed. Tundra Copters failed to perfect its appeal by 
filing an appeal brief. Therefore, its appeal is dismissed.

In the Matter of Johnny Johnson

Order No. 2000-10 (5/11/200)
    Appeal Dismissed. Mr. Johnson failed to perfect his appeal by 
filing an appeal brief; therefore, his appeal is dismissed.

In the Matter of Europex Inc.

Order No. 2000-11 (5/11/2000)
    Appeal Dismissed. Europex has provided no explanation for its late 
filing of its notice of appeal; therefore, its appeal is dismissed.

In the Matter of Evergreen Helicopters of Alaska, Inc.

Order No. 2000-12 (6/8/2000)
    Dismissal affirmed. Under a contract with the United Nations, 
Evergreen transported passengers on a U.S.-registered aircraft as part 
of a peacekeeping mission, using Angolan pilots on 19 flights that took 
place entirely inside Angola. The pilots held only Angolan airline 
transport pilot certificates; they did not hold U.S. airline transport 
pilot certificates. The Administrator rejected Complainant's argument 
that Evergreen violated 14 CFR 135.234(a) by using pilots who lacked 
U.S airline transport pilot certificates. Regardless of what the 
drafters intended, the regulation on its face does not require that a 
pilot-in-command hold a U.S.-issued certificate. Moreover, 14 CFR 61.3 
expressly permits the use of a certificate by the country in which the 
aircraft is operated. This plain meaning interpretation of the 
regulations is consistent with a prior written interpretation issued by 
the agency.

In the Matter of Empire Airlines, Inc.

Order No. 2000-13 (6/8/2000)
    Failure to Use Approved Data when making a Major Repair. Conair 
Aerospace repaired the left engine mount of one of Empire Airlines' 
Fairchild F-27F aircraft using sleeve repair data set forth in Advisory 
Circular (AC) 43.13-1A. Neither the Fairchild F-27 overhaul nor 
structural repair manual provide for sleeve repairs. Instead, the 
Fairchild overhaul and structural repair manuals provide for repair of 
non-negligible engine mount corrosion by a patch repair, insertion or 
replacement, and prohibit patch repairs if the damage is in the middle 
third of the tube. In this case, the corrosion extended into the middle 
third of the tube.
    Under Section 121.379, a certificate holder may approve an aircraft 
for return to service after maintenance performed by another person but 
major repairs or major alterations must be done in accordance with 
technical data approved by the Administrator. It was undisputed that 
the left engine mount repair constituted a major repair, that Empire 
was obligated to use approved data, and that the Fairchild F-27 series 
overhaul and structural repair manuals contained approved data for a 
major repair of that aircraft. The sleeve repair was not included in 
either of these manuals as approved for the repair of the Fairchild F-
27F's engine mount.
    AC-43.13-1A is not normally considered to be approved data for a 
major repair, but it may be used as a basis for approval. There was no 
evidence that Empire or Conair had sought the approval of a DER for a 
sleeve repair of the left engine mount.
    A sleeve repair was approved for an engine mount of another model 
aircraft, the Fairchild FH-227. The fact that a sleeve repair may be 
approved data for the repair of one model aircraft (i.e., the Fairchild 
FH-227) does not mean necessarily that a sleeve repair is approved for 
the same type of damage to another similar aircraft (i.e., the 
Fairchild F-27F). There may be subtle differences that would make a 
sleeve repair appropriate for the FH-227 and not for the F-27F. 
Aviation safety demands that maintenance personnel not assume that 
approved data for the repair of one specific aircraft can be used as 
approved data for a major repair on a different aircraft.
    Empire argued that it was not precluded from using a sleeve repair 
because the manuals did not specifically prohibit the use of sleeve 
repairs. The Administrator held that it is unreasonable to expect the 
manufacturer to have listed all of the repairs that would not be 
appropriate for any given damage, and hence, the manufacturer's silence 
cannot be regarded as tacit approval of a repair.
    The Administrator rejected Empire's argument that it was entitled 
to rely on the services performed by Conair. Empire's director of 
quality assurance and its customer coordinator were at the Conair 
facility when the repair was accomplished, and its customer coordinator 
observed the damage and the repair. The airworthiness release was 
signed by a Conair employee acting on Empire's behalf.
    An air carrier cannot delegate away its primary responsibility for 
the airworthiness of its aircraft. While there may be certain limited 
circumstances in which an air carrier might not be held responsible for 
maintenance and inspections performed by a contractor or vendor, no 
such reasons exist in this case.
    The Administrator denied Empire's appeal and affirmed the initial 
decision assessing a $5,000 civil penalty.

In the Matter of Warbelow's Air Ventures, Inc.

Order No. 2000-14 (6/8/2000)
    Reconsideration Denied. In a timely petition to reconsider FAA 
Order No. 2000-3, which assessed a $6,500 civil penalty, Warbelow's 
renews two previous arguments. First, Warbelow's again challenges the 
credibility of its former Director of Maintenance, who testified that 
he failed to ensure that the screws on several fuel pumps were torques 
to the proper pressure. Second, Warbelow's again argues that the pumps 
must have been torques to the proper pressure because they did not leak 
in service. Neither argument is new; both were decided by the law judge 
and the Administrator. The Rules of Practice provide that the 
Administrator may summarily dismiss repetitious petitions to 
reconsider.
    The only new argument in Warbelow's petition is its challenge to 
the factual accuracy of the following statement in FAA Order 2000-3: 
``Warbelow's demoted and fired [the Director of Maintenance] after he 
admitted to the FAA inspectors that he had been using an improper 
method to modify the fuel pumps.'' Warbelow's is correct that it 
actually fired the Director of Maintenance before he indicated at the 
hearing that he failed to use a torque wrench to ensure the proper 
pressure on the fuel pump screws. This factual error, however does not 
affected the outcome of this case. A law judge's credibility 
determinations are entitled to deference on appeal. The law judge was 
well aware of the Director of Maintenance's possible motives to 
misrepresent how he reassembled the fuel pumps, and yet the law judge 
specifically stated in his initial decision that he believed his 
testimony. Warbelow's has failed to provide sufficient grounds to 
overturn the law judge's credibility determinations, which were based 
on his personal observations of the witnesses.
