FAA Claims Ownership Of Low-Flying Jet

Challenger CL600 Was Checking Navigation Aids During Flight Over Ramapo, NY

A low-flying airplane that caused a flurry of phone calls to local police in Ramapo, NY last week belongs to the FAA, the agency said.

The agency was checking out navigation aids and obstacles in the area around Teterboro, NJ with a Challenger CL60 jet last Wednesday. The jet reportedly "buzzed" the Ramapo, NY police station and Town Hall during its flights. Some in the town thought the plane was about to crash, and called the local police, according to a report appearing on the Gannett web site lohud.com.

Town officials said they had not been notified by the FAA of any airplane experiencing any problems, which was an accurate statement. On Friday, the agency released a statement saying that the FAA was "aware of the flight, but could not track the entire flight because the pilots had to fly below radar coverage at altitudes of 1,000 to 1,500 feet" in order finish the evaluation.

Something to file away for future reference should you see a low-flying Challenger CL60 in your neighborhood.
