An attorney for actor and pilot Harrison Ford says he will not face any sanctions or restrictions on his pilot certificate for landing on a taxiway at John Wayne Airport on February 13. Attorney Stephen Hofer said that the FAA conducted a full investigation, including an interview with Mr. Ford.
The agency "determined that no administrative or enforcement action was warranted," Hofer noted. "The agency acknowledged Mr.Ford's long history of compliance with the Federal Aviation Regulations, and his cooperative attitude during the investigation." Continental Motors issued Mandatory Service Bulletin MSB05-8B affecting all 520- and 550-series engines (plus a few IO-470s). Normally, Part 91 operators are not required to comply with manufacturer’s service bulletins. However, when Continental issues a Mandatory Service Bulletin, it means that they have asked the FAA to issue an Airworthiness Directive (AD) to make compliance compulsory. The first Airbus A319neo performed its maiden flight recently. The smallest member of the A320neo Family, powered by CFM International LEAP-1A engines took off from Hamburg and landed in Toulouse after a 5 hour flight. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
