FAA Alleges Each Flight Operated By Jem Air With Unqualified Crew Was Careless Or Reckless
The US Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration has proposed a $220,000 civil penalty against Jem Air Holdings, LLC, of Raleigh, N.C., for allegedly using unqualified pilots to conduct charter flights. The FAA alleges Jem used three unqualified pilots to fly as second-in-command on 18 flights between April 25, 2019, and May 19, 2019. The agency alleges these pilots had not undergone required annual flight-competency checks and written or oral knowledge tests.
