Sky High Airlines \"Getting you there higher and faster\" ITEM 18 MEMORANDUM TO: Director of Safety FROM: DATE: 25 January SUBJECT: Alleged Flying Violations The Federal Aviation Administration has informally advised me that they intend to file a violation against Captain R. M. Woodward, one of our pilots, for allegedly violating an altitude restriction. They are proposing a fine and license suspension. Since the allege violation is being lodged against the pilot and not Sky High Airlines, I see no reason for us to become officially involved. Accordingly, I intend to forward the FAA investigation and proposed violation (when received) directly to Captain Woodward for whatever action he chooses to take. Sky High Airlines \"Getting you there higher and faster\" ITEM 19 MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: DATE: 25 January SUBJECT: Vehicle Accident- May Eight months ago, one of our ramp supervisors backed a pickup truck into one of our aircraft. One of the recommendations in the accident report was that we install back-up warning lights on all of our ground vehicles. This is a ridiculous requirement. The warning signal would not have prevented the accident. Even if the plane heard the signal, it would not have moved! We have taken other actions including reorganizing our use of vehicles and requiring a spotter any time a vehicle is backed. I can't get rid of this warning signal requirement, though. It keeps showing up as an open discrepancy and I just can't put a warning horn on every piece of wheeled equipment we have.
