FAA Proposes Civil Penalty Against Gulfstream Aerospace
Agency says it found discrepancies in maintenance personnel training.

The FAA is proposing a $425,000 civil penalty against Gulfstream Aerospace for failing to comply with training-related FARs. The penalty, announced by the agency on September 16, was the result of inspections conducted in November 2009 and March 2010. At that time the FAA determined some Gulfstream mechanics did not complete required training within time limits required in its FAA-approved training manual and that they missed numerous training deadlines. Additionally, FAA inspectors could not determine whether some of the employees actually completed training, or whether the records were inaccurate.
