3 Mistakes That Could Result In An FAA Violation

There are many layers of regulation in the aviation industry. Almost every major player, including commercial airlines, supply chain companies and aircraft manufacturers, need to abide by the FAA and other aviation authorities. This is to ensure that every aircraft as well as all the parts that make up the aircraft are 100% certified of airworthiness. The many layers and regulations are put in place so that if a faulty part or another type of error manages to fall through the inspection gates, then they can be identified by the many other gates that follow afterward.

While the errors that take place may just constitute of honest mistakes( ie misplaced documents, typos, etc), they can still result in an FAA violation and in turn, result in financially burdensome holds. In order to avoid violating any regulation, be sure to observe these violations.

1. Entering Controlled Airspace Without Prior Notification
   An easy way to get an FAA violation is to enter into controlled or restricted airspace without first receiving clearance. Entering into Class B puts you in a major violation. Unless you request clearance from the ATC and you hear them respond with “cleared into the Class Bravo airspace" then you are not authorized to enter. If you disregard the care that the FAA has for protected airspace, then you will warrant a violation from them.
2. Using An Aircraft That Is Not Airworthy
   For something to be airworthy, it means that the FAA as well as other authorizations have approved it for full flight functionability, It means that the airplane had gone through several layers of regulation and at each “gate” has been approved or certified for airworthiness. If, however, the piece does not meet standards in accordance with 14 CFR parts 21, 43, and 91, then the parts involved count for unworthiness.
3. Not Submitting Required Documents
   Sometimes getting an FAA violation can result from an honest mistake as forgetting to submit an application or document data that was required by the FAA. Everytime that your aircraft flies, you must have certain documentation that is readily available for demonstration to authorities. The documents can include government issued photo ID, pilot certificates, and medical certificates.
