Tennessee resident indicted for flying without a license
According to the office of the Inspector General for the Department of Transportation, a Tennessee resident was indicted last week for piloting an aircraft without a pilot certificate. As reported by the IG’s office:
On April 1, 2013, air traffic controllers identified aircraft N5863S as an unregistered civil aircraft that was being piloted from Daytona Beach, Florida, to Morristown, Tennessee. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) contacted the Morristown Police Department and officers met the aircraft at the airport and identified Cate as the pilot. The FAA reported that Cate did not possess a valid pilot’s certificate. DOT Inspector General web site
A copy of the indictment is attached; as you can see, it’s short, sweet and to the point.
