FAA SEEKS $142,750 CIVIL PENALTY AGAINST GOJET AIRLINES
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes a civil penalty of $142,750 against GoJet Airlines, LLC of Bridgeton, MO for allegedly violating drug and alcohol testing regulations. On Dec. 2, 2013, the FAA conducted an inspection of
) on the all-digital Special
Edition SR22T Accelero and GTS option packages for the SR20, SR22 and SR22T aircraft. “Safety and innovation are core values at Cirrus Aircraft,”
says Todd Simmons, Cirrus Aircraft executive vice president Sales, Marketing & Support and chief customer officer. “We are constantly pursuing new technologies that push our aircraft to the forefront of aviation. In 2015, that pursuit led us to seamlessly integrate Mid-Continent’s 4-in-1 digital standby instrument into our All Digital aircraft.” SAM is the first digital standby instrument to display
attitude, altitude, airspeed, slip, vertical trend, and heading information in an advanced 2-inch format. The standby attitude module is a compact device, specifically designed to fit in less panel space than a standard set of 2-inch mechanical attitude, altitude and airspeed indicators. SAM’s unique, high-definition, two-screen display
features selectable horizontal and vertical orientation. This allows flexible cockpit installation without extensive rearrangement of equipment or the need for re-certification of relocated avionics. Weighing 1.6 pounds, SAM is lighter than the three mechanical units it is designed to replace. SAM is FAA and EASA Technical Standard Order (TSO) certified to C2d, C3e, C4c, C10b, C106, C113a and C179a, including RTCA DO-178B and DO-254 Design Assurance Level A.
The Special Edition SR22T Accelero is the first all-digital
aircraft in the Cirrus SR-Series, which also includes the Cirrus SR20, SR22 and SR22T. Meaning to “accelerate or advance,” the SR22T Accelero was inspired by innovations made in the Cirrus Vision SF50 Jet program. Cirrus SR-Series aircraft incorporate innovative and
advanced performance, electronic and safety technologies. The aircraft-specific GTS packages feature a combination

GoJet’s Antidrug and Alcohol Misuse Prevention Program. The FAA alleges that inspectors discovered GoJet allowed six employees to perform safety-sensitive jobs without being included in the company’s random drug and alcohol testing pool as required by federal regulations. The employees included four pilot trainees and two aircraft dispatcher trainees.
Additionally, the FAA alleges that two employees selected for random drug and alcohol testing were given drug but not alcohol tests, which violates federal regulations. GoJet has 30 days from receipt of the FAA’s enforcement letter to respond to the agency.

Cessna Aircraft Company, a subsidiary of Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. company, kicked off a celebration of the 30th anniversary of initial deliveries of its Caravan 208 single-engine utility turboprop at this year’s Sun ‘n Fun International Fly-In and Expo. “Three decades after entering into service, the Cessna
Caravan still defines the modern single-engine utility segment,” says Christi Tannahill, senior vice president, Turboprop Aircraft and Interior Design. “We continue our robust investments in the Caravan family based on customer needs, with the latest being the Grand Caravan EX.” Conceived as a rugged utility aircraft with low operating
costs, the Caravan was designed for use in remote areas with extreme weather changes, mountainous terrain and rough landing conditions. As the aircraft’s versatility became renown in all corners of the world, the Caravan began to see wide use in global markets by a variety of customers, including government agencies, law enforcement and militaries, air ambulance operators, freight haulers, corporations and humanitarian organizations. The first Caravan was delivered on Feb. 25, 1985, to an air
service provider in Alaska, and the next day Federal Express (now FedEx) took delivery of its first Caravan, which included a belly cargo pod and other modifications specially
