(Admittedly, wouldn't most mistakes that could get your certificate
revoked show some lack of qualification or competancy? I don't know
what the standard is for the FAA to decide you need a re-examination.)

Yes, this was discussed under the "Cessna over DC--NASA Form?" thread. The
thing is that Section 44709 only permits certificate action if a pilot is
reasonable judged to be unable to fly safely in the *future*. It can't be
used to impose a punishment or deterrent. So at worst, it could be invoked
here to require some remedial navigational training.
