‘Five years later the FAA reopened the case, and my certificate was on the line’
“As an experienced pilot and a longtime AOPA member, I’ll always be thankful that I joined the AOPA Legal Services Plan.
“After a flight into St. Louis about five years ago, the FAA sent me a letter of investigation. I thought I’d followed the tower’s exact instructions and told that to the FAA, but they were determined to pursue the investigation.
“Afraid that my license was at risk, I called on the AOPA Legal Services Plan for help. An attorney reviewed my case and helped me complete the legal paperwork.
“I heard nothing more for five years and assumed my case had been dropped. Then to my surprise five years later, the FAA notified me that my case had been reopened.
“I again called on the AOPA Legal Services Plan and was represented by counsel at the FAA hearing. Today, thanks to AOPA Legal Services, I still have my license and my right to fly.”—Fred Carter, AOPA 1374853
