On the subject of training/licence sanctions does anyone know what the FAA does (if anything) in the case of a pilot flying abroad who commits an aviation violation?
The FSDO in Brussels would be the authority to address when initiating a certificate action. I would recon them to be pretty responsive if the UK CAA filed a report with a request for appropriate follow up. I don't think they did that in this case.
On the other hand, if a fine is all the CAA is after, then they don't really need FAA involvement. Wouldn't have hurt to send the FSDO a little note, though.
Would you see a suspension on Mr. Visentini's FAA record ?
On a separate note, I think it would have been fairer to swap Mr. Visentini's and Mr. Turton's fines.
