Florida Flight School Owner Pleads Guilty on Fraud Charges
Improperly endorsing student flight logs, operating illegal charters, and flying without proper authorization were some of the allegations he faced.

The owner of Florida-based flight school Beach Aviation has pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to a list of charges that include operating an aircraft without an airman’s certificate, wire fraud, and falsification of records. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Office of Inspector General, Robert Charles Jones Brady received payment for numerous charter flights and flight instruction services after all of his FAA certificates were revoked in 2016. The investigation showed that he used a fleet of aircraft, including business jets, to defraud the government, airmen, and the flying public.
