June 17, 2015 - The U.S. Department of
Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) proposes a $66,000 civil penalty against
Centurion Air Cargo, Inc., of
Miami,
Fla., for allegedly operating an
aircraft that was not in compliance with Federal
Aviation Regulations.
The FAA alleges Centurion operated an MD-11 jet
on at least 12 flights between June 5 and 11,
2013 while failing to comply with its minimum
equipment list (MEL) procedures after receiving
a fuel quantity fault indication during a June 5
flight.
An MEL specifies what equipment may be
inoperable during a flight pending repair of
that equipment.
