How it all begins...“Possible pilot deviation. Suggest you
contact…”“I have a number for you…”Ramp checksAccident/incident investigationsComplaints by citizensComplaints by other pilots and operators
![Page 6: Call the Tower - March 2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ee3fb21a28ab524e8b4689/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Ramp ChecksNot the big deal some make it out to beBased on statutory authority to inspect
pilots and aircraftMay be based on observation or reports or
unsafe operationMay be routine surveillanceNot used that much – budget and
manpower
![Page 7: Call the Tower - March 2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ee3fb21a28ab524e8b4689/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Ramp ChecksLimited authority with published guidelines
//http:fsims.faa.gov, Vol 6, Chap 1, Sec 4ASI must show IDPilot certificate, medical, photo ID
Handing your certificate to an inspector is NOT surrendering it!
AR[R]OW documents
![Page 8: Call the Tower - March 2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ee3fb21a28ab524e8b4689/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Ramp ChecksPilot and aircraft logs if required for
operation; otherwise if availableMeeting operational requirements
VOR checks Current charts, may ask even if not required
May not board without knowledge and consent
Should not unnecessarily delay flights
![Page 9: Call the Tower - March 2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ee3fb21a28ab524e8b4689/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Ramp ChecksBe noncommittalDo not volunteer information
not requestedDo not argueYou may ask the ASI questions
To what do I owe the honor?Courtesy is expected on both sidesAre there “rouge cops” out there?
![Page 10: Call the Tower - March 2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ee3fb21a28ab524e8b4689/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
“I Have a Number…”“Call the Tower”“Possible Pilot Deviation.
Suggest you contact…” “Brasher” warning In ATC Handbook May be required in certain
cases or no sanction for violation
![Page 11: Call the Tower - March 2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ee3fb21a28ab524e8b4689/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
“I Have a Number…”Should I call?What should I say?
Unfortunately, it’s not that simple
![Page 12: Call the Tower - March 2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ee3fb21a28ab524e8b4689/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
“I Have a Number…”You are not required to call!Saying nothing can be the right answerBut it can also be
the wrong answer!The FAA has a
number of ways to handle possible deviations
And so do you…
![Page 13: Call the Tower - March 2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ee3fb21a28ab524e8b4689/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Oral Inquiry“Might” only be a question or discussion
Tower controllers don’t really want more paperwork
May be all an ASI needs to finish off non-event paperwork
Could initiate a process that may lead to a compliance action, administrative action or an enforcement action
Relax and think before you talk
![Page 16: Call the Tower - March 2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ee3fb21a28ab524e8b4689/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Compliance Action
“some deviations arise from factors such as flawed procedures, simple mistakes, lack of understanding, or diminished skills. *** deviations of this nature can most effectively be corrected through root cause analysis and training”
FAA Order 8000.373, June 26, 2015
![Page 19: Call the Tower - March 2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ee3fb21a28ab524e8b4689/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Compliance Action“Kinder and gentler” FAABrand New
Announced June 2015 Most implemented as of October 1, 2015
New policy or confirmation of changing practice?
What does it mean?
![Page 20: Call the Tower - March 2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ee3fb21a28ab524e8b4689/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Compliance ActionPre-enforcement “compliance action”Early decision-makingPublished guidelinesNo Letter of Investigation or Pilots Bill of Rights
NotificationDoes not rule out enforcement action
refusal or inability to participate or complyNo requirement to speak immediatelyStill time for advice
![Page 21: Call the Tower - March 2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ee3fb21a28ab524e8b4689/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Compliance Action
FAA Safety Briefing, Jan/Feb 2016https://www.faa.gov/news/safety_briefing/
![Page 22: Call the Tower - March 2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ee3fb21a28ab524e8b4689/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Administrative Actions
Warning Notices and Letter of Correction (FAR 13.11)
“Administrative Action” not “Enforcement”Typically involves some sort of re-trainingSometimes associated with special FAA
programs Expired Runway Incursion Information Evaluation
Program (RIIEP)Records expunged after 2 years
![Page 23: Call the Tower - March 2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ee3fb21a28ab524e8b4689/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Warning Notice or Letter of Correction (FAR 13.11)
Warning Notice Describes the incident. States “may have been a violation.”
Letter of Correction FAA decides there was a violation. Specifies corrective action (training). Pilot agrees or already took corrective action. If not completed, enforcement action likely.
![Page 24: Call the Tower - March 2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ee3fb21a28ab524e8b4689/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

![Page 27: Call the Tower - March 2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ee3fb21a28ab524e8b4689/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
A Kinder and Gentler FAA?Compliance action an ongoing process?Recent deviation examplesTFR/SFRA violations
Post 9-11 mandatory certificate action June 2014 – mandatory suspension but
flexibility for certain inadvertent, brief first time violations
February 2016 – withdrawal of 2014 policy in favor of compliance action analysis
![Page 28: Call the Tower - March 2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ee3fb21a28ab524e8b4689/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
A Kinder and Gentler FAA?Compliance philosophy application
More flexibility earlier in the process First time deviations unless criminal Looking for reasons to not bring action
May mean even more reasons to get advice
![Page 29: Call the Tower - March 2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ee3fb21a28ab524e8b4689/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Lowering Risk of Violations69% of pilot deviations come from General
Aviation – Us!Preflight Planning.Situational awareness.Taxi diagrams.
Runway incursions remain a significant deviation issue.

“Advise you contact...”Aviate – Navigate - CommunicateFly the airplane!Complete the flight Park/Tie down
STOP!RELAX!THINK!
![Page 36: Call the Tower - March 2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ee3fb21a28ab524e8b4689/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
“Advise you contact...”Should I call?What should I say?Should I identify myself?
Famous case or aviation myth? They have the tapes. They saw the
radar track IFR or filed VFR flight plan – the PIC
is already identifiedGet advice first?
![Page 37: Call the Tower - March 2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ee3fb21a28ab524e8b4689/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
“Advise you contact...”You are not required to call but if
you do… Think before you call Polite but non-committal
• “This is N1234X. I was asked by to call you after I landed”
Listen more; talk less Avoid admissions Know when to shut up!
