The plane was a '59 145hp 172. DA would have been around 3,500. You
can draw your own conclusions.



From the report...

"The personal flight was being conducted under the provisions of Title
14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91..."

No it wasn't. Hell they could really stick it to him and say it was
under part 121. He didn't have a certificate for that either.


Why would they say it was under part 121? And where does it say he was
not operating under the provisions of 91? If any regs were broken, and
that is no tclear, it would have been 61 in any case. Bertie


Jeez Bertie it was a joke. The guy didn't have a license yet he went X-C
to pick up his wife and child. He might get charged with child
endangerment. He would if I was the DA there.

There's probably a good chance of some type of state charges and the FAA may
go after him on criminal charges as well. He was pretty stupid to speak to
FSDO on the phone and should have let a lawyer handle it, but a guy like
that can't be too smart to begin with.
