First exam for SFTY 345

Document Content and Description Below

You are an A&P mechanic employed by an U.S. air charter operator. Your supervisor has gotten a tip that the FAA will be inspecting the company's maintenance shop tomorrow and instructs you to backdate... a 50 hour inspection on one of the company’s aircraft that actually overflew that inspection, which has not yet actually been performed. Describe in detail all of the possible adverse legal consequences to you if you make that false entry in the aircraft's records? You are a U.S regional airline pilot with a head cold. You are scheduled to fly tomorrow, and are taking a popular off-the-shelf medication to relieve the symptoms. The label warns that use of the product "may cause drowsiness" and cautions the user against driving a motor vehicle or operating machinery. The directions call for an adult to take a dose every 6 hours. You just took one. What is the soonest you'll be legal to exercise pilot privileges? Show your decision process. You are an FAA-certificated air traffic control tower operator employed by the FAA in that position. You are required to also hold a current FAA aviation medical certificate to exercise the privileges of your certificate. Your current medical certificate expires tomorrow and you're online filling out the FAA application form to get a new medical certificate, when you come to the question: "Do you currently use any medication (prescription or nonprescription)?" You've been under a lot of stress lately at home, mainly caused by family finances, and were feeling pretty depressed. Sensing your mental state, your brother-in-law gave you a bottle of prescription anti-depressant tablets, saying: "Here, try these; they really worked for me when I was all down about losing my job last year and I don’t need them anymore." You tried them, they are working, and you're feeling fine now that you're taking them. There's no record of you getting the meds, and you consider answering the question "no" to avoid the possibility of a truthful answer causing problems for you at work. Describe in detail all of the possible adverse legal consequences you would be risking if you give that false answer. You are an aircraft owner and pilot. Last week, while taking three friends up in your personal aircraft to view the fall colors, the aircraft crashed into the forest and everyone aboard sustained serious injuries. 1. Will your attorney have the opportunity to find out what the plaintiffs intend to prove, and how, before trial? If so, describe how the attorney can accomplish that. 2. The NTSB finds that the probable cause of the accident was pilot error on your part. 3. Does your entitlement to a “jury of your peers” mean that you can expect to face a jury of fellow pilots? Explain. 4. In order to win a judgement against you, must the plaintiffs prove your negligence beyond a shadow of a doubt? Explain. [Show More]
