The FAA has issued an emergency order revoking StarFlite Aviation’s air carrier certificate, alleging that the Part 135 operator knowingly falsified pilot training records. StarFlite, which was not immediately available for comment, has the option of appealing the emergency order to the NTSB.

According to the FAA, StarFlite management personnel allegedly “ made numerous false entries in the training records of at least 10 pilots, including the chief pilot,” between November 2019 and November 2024. The agency added that these entries show check rides and competency checks in various aircraft that didn't occur and, as a result, StarFlite used unqualified personnel on at least 170 flights.
