Some pilots who obtained their pilot certificates near Fresno, California, in 2012 and 2013 will get a rude surprise as the FAA has released a notice indicating that it is sending U.S. Code § 44709 letters to pilots who received their ratings during that time period from a designated pilot examiner (DPE) named Bruce Kalashian.
FAA to Reexamine Some Pilots
Key Takeaways:
- The FAA is requiring reexaminations for pilots who received certificates from Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) Bruce Kalashian in the Fresno area between January 2012 and January 2014, due to doubts about the competency of those examined.
- Affected pilots will receive U.S. Code § 44709 letters and must schedule a reexamination within specific deadlines, unless they have already been successfully reexamined for a higher certificate.
- Failure to comply with the reexamination request, pass the test, or respond to the letter can result in the temporary relinquishment, downgrading, or cancellation of the pilot's certificate, and potential legal enforcement action.
