Yeah, I know its CNN, but the story is basically a-political so I think they can't spin this. I blasted the guy initially and was wrong, I didn't have all the facts. Glad to see a fellow pilot get cleared of wrong doing. Viva Solo

In contradiction of your post title, "FAA clears Harrison Ford of wrong doing", the story does not actually say that he was cleared of wrongdoing.
Rather, it says that the FAA "will not pursue enforcement action". What that means is that they decided not to rake him over the coals for his violations, not that he did not violate any rules. So the post title is misleading. |

So your theory is the only reason the FAA didn't pursue certificate action or fines against him is because he's an actor? You can bet if you or I did that we'd have our ass in a sling. |

He busted the class D here many years ago during an airshow. Local fsdo guys sent it up to the regional office after investigating, and it disappeared.

I imagine it depends on the details of the circumstances but I actually knew a guy that did the same thing in Seattle by landing his Cessna on taxiway T. Luckily no one else was on it so no metal got bent. He cooperated and dutifully filled out his NASA form and nothing ever came of it. Not even a fine and he never bothered to call an aviation attorney. The only one they always seem to drop the hammer on is VIP TFRs |
