PRIORITIZATION CONCERNS AT THE FAA

Recent aviation accidents in South Florida have raised concerns about the
Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) approach to investigation and
prioritization. Rather than focusing on investigating companies and individuals
associated with these accidents, resources are being allocated to minor
infractions such as weight and balance inaccuracies. This blog post delves into
the issue, highlighting the lack of transparency within certain FAA divisions
and discussing the adverse experiences pilots have shared regarding their
interactions with the FAA.

 1. Lack of Organizational Transparency: A search for FISDO 19’s organizational
    chart, responsible for aviation oversight in South Florida, yields no
    results. In contrast, other FISDOs across the country openly publish their
    organizational structures. The absence of transparency raises questions
    about accountability and decision-making processes within FISDO 19.
 2. Disturbing FAA Interactions: Pilots from various regions across the country
    have been reaching out, sharing their experiences with the FAA, and
    unfortunately, the majority of these encounters have been disheartening.
    Instead of addressing minor infractions with appropriate measures such as
    fines or probation periods, it appears to be common practice for the FAA to
    pursue aggressive actions against pilots. This disproportionate response by
    the FAA unnecessarily escalates situations and undermines trust in the
    regulatory process.
 3. Pilot Shortage and FAA’s Role: The ongoing pilot shortage is a pressing
    concern in the aviation industry. While the FAA played a role in creating
    this shortage, they have shown little willingness to adapt by modifying
    regulations like the 1500 hour rule or implementing measures to address the
    shortage. Instead, FISDOs like FISDO 19 in South Florida have suspended
    Designated Pilot Examiners (DPEs) and issued 709 requests, seemingly with
    the intention of failing pilots to justify investigations. This approach not
    only exacerbates the pilot shortage but also raises questions about the
    FAA’s priorities.
 4. Navigating FAA Interactions: For pilots, encountering the FAA can be a
    daunting experience. It is crucial for pilots to exercise caution and
    refrain from engaging with the FAA without legal representation. Even
    seemingly innocuous conversations can quickly escalate into full-scale
    investigations. The toll on pilots’ mental well-being and the potential for
    prolonged stress and uncertainty make legal representation a necessity when
    dealing with the FAA.

The prioritization and actions of the FAA have come under scrutiny, particularly
in South Florida, where aviation accidents have been met with misplaced
attention on minor infractions. The lack of transparency in FISDO 19 and the
negative experiences shared by pilots raise concerns about the FAA’s approach.
As pilots, it is vital to be aware of the potential risks and to seek legal
representation when interacting with the FAA to safeguard rights and navigate
the regulatory landscape effectively.
