Pilot Indicted For Lying On FAA Medical Forms

Faces Charges For Making False Statements

A commercial-rated pilot has been charged in federal court with four counts of making false statements on FAA medical forms, according to the US Attorney's Office.

US Attorney Michael J. Sullivan and Theodore L. Doherty, Special Agent in Charge of the Office of the Inspector General's Investigations Division at the US Department of Transportation in New England, announced that Ronald N. Crews of Centerville, MA was charged in a four-count indictment with making false statements. 
 
The indictment alleges that Crews, 53, made several false statements on the FAA Airman Certification Form 8500-8, when applying for a First Class Airmen certificate. The Indictment alleges that Crews filed four such certificates containing false statements from December 7, 2001, until November 9, 2001.

If convicted, Crews would face charges under FAR 67.403, which states "falsification of the airman medical application form 8500-8 may result in adverse action including fines up to $250,000, imprisonment up to 5 years and revocation of medical and all pilot certificates."

The case was investigated by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Office of the Inspector General, Investigations Division. It is being prosecuted by Assistant US Attorney S. Waqar Hasib in Sullivan's Major Crimes Unit.
