238.85万美元拟罚：联邦航空局指加州Vacaville飞行学校以不适航飞机飞了约280班
联邦航空局（FAA）10月30日宣布，拟对 Stratus Aviation, LLC 处以 2,388,500 美元民事罚款。该公司以 Wings Flight School 之名在加州 Vacaville 经营飞行学校，FAA 指其曾在一架不适航的飞机上运营。
FAA 指控，Wings 于 2022 年 10 月在一架 Cessna 172M Skyhawk 飞机上安装了一个未经批准的温度表，这一改装使该飞机不再适航。
FAA 还指控，该校在此后仍使用这架不适航的飞机执行了约 280 次飞行，时间从 2023 年 2 月到 2024 年 9 月。FAA 称，这些运营以危及生命或财产安全的方式进行，属于疏忽或鲁莽操作。
这笔罚款目前只是 FAA 提出的拟议处罚，相关内容均为该机构的指控，尚未作出最终裁决。Stratus Aviation 在收到 FAA 通知后有 30 天时间作出回应。
$2,388,500 Proposed Fine: FAA Says Vacaville, California Flight School Flew an Unairworthy Aircraft on About 280 Flights
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced on October 30 that it proposes a $2,388,500 civil penalty against Stratus Aviation, LLC, which does business as Wings Flight School in Vacaville, California, for allegedly operating an unairworthy aircraft.
The FAA alleges that in October 2022 Wings installed an unapproved temperature gauge in a Cessna 172M Skyhawk, and that the installation made the aircraft unairworthy.
The FAA further alleges that the school went on to operate the unairworthy aircraft on approximately 280 flights between February 2023 and September 2024, and that those operations were conducted in a careless or reckless manner so as to endanger lives or property.
The penalty is a proposed enforcement action and the contents are allegations by the agency; no final determination has been made. Stratus Aviation has 30 days after receiving the FAA's notice to respond to the agency.
