FAA Seeks Fine Against Pinnacle Over Missing Part
The FAA is proposing a $275,000 civil penalty against Pinnacle Airlines of Memphis for allegedly operating a Bombardier CRJ900 on 11 flights without all required parts fitted. According to the FAA, Pinnacle mechanics failed to replace a part required in the approved aircraft maintenance manual when they replaced the aircraft’s right engine. A source close to the Pinnacle flight crew told AIN on condition of anonymity that the missing part was the second engine mount used to hold the powerplant… (www.ainonline.com) Daha Fazlası...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
This is the third fine in the last couple of years. I think they were fined $625,000 for having the flt crew do maintenance on a door instead of ground crews. $415,000 for not adequately monitoring a crack on another CRJ. No wonder they are in bancrupcy protection. Another subsidiary, Colgan, faced a 1.9 million dollar fine. No wonder they shut it down last October.
Great way to keep the FAA running. At this rate they will be a profit making enterprise for the government. (the only one)LOL

Don't know how they can be too profit making when moving at the usual speed of government. This is from back in October of 2010, 2 1/2 years ago, and to boot, with Pinnacle in BR, all they can do is file notice of the claim and in or out of BR, once it ever gets argued,they will collect less than half that, if any. You mentioned the earlier fines. WHAT, out of those, did they wind up colleting.
As it states,MISSING PART.Whats the point in parts esp,if they are missing and 11 flights ?? $275,000 I think says to me that the second engine must be important!!!!!!
Hey it took off and landed 11 times, must not be that important? Two out of three ain't bad huh?
Like most mechanics the engine starts and there are parts left off maybe they need retraining or leave the sauce alone when they leave work.
