FAA Proposes Penalty Against Steele for Illegal Charter
The $624,000 penalty is the second to be proposed against Steele Aviation this year.

The U.S. FAA is proposing its second civil penalty this year against Beverly Hills, California-based Steele Aviation for illegal charter operations. Last week, the FAA said it was proposing a $624,000 civil penalty against Steele for allegedly conducting 16 flights for hire between October 2016 and February 2018 without the required air carrier certificate. The flights involved the transport of the same paying passenger to destinations throughout California, as well as to Seattle, aboard a Cessna Citation II and Hawker 125-800. “The FAA alleges the operations were careless and reckless so as to endanger lives or property,” the agency said in announcing the proposed penalty.
