FAA Finds 'em, Fines 'em: Champion Air

$75,000 Penalty Against Parent, Grand Holdings

The FAA has proposed a $75,000 civil penalty against Grand Holdings, Inc., Bloomington (MN), doing business as Champion Air, for failing to inspect escape slide release cables as ordered by the agency.

On June 25, 1990, the FAA issued Airworthiness Directive 90-12-11 R1, which requires the visual inspection of each escape slide release cable at intervals not to exceed 12 months on Boeing model 727, 737, and 757 series aircraft.

The FAA alleges Champion failed to inspect each of the four escape slide release cables installed on N681CA, a Boeing 727, at 12-month intervals as required by the Airworthiness Directive. This aircraft was flown on 830 flights from January 1, 2001, until November 1, 2001, without compliance. The aircraft has since been inspected and found to be airworthy.
