WASHINGTON-The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes a $75,000 civil penalty against Murray Aircraft Manufacturing, LLC of Ypsilanti, Mich., for allegedly operating an aircraft that was not in compliance with Federal Aviation Regulations.
The FAA alleges that between Dec. 12, 2012 and Feb. 18, 2014, the company operated a British Aerospace Jetstream 3101 on at least 300 flights when 11 required maintenance checks had not been performed. The company was required to perform the checks every 200 flight hours.
The company has 30 days from receipt of the FAA’s enforcement letter to respond to the agency.
