摘要:
In ensuring air safety, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reviews applications for certificates and denies them if appropriate. However, when a corporate entity holds a certificate revoked by the FAA, there is little to prevent the individuals from forming a new company and applying for a new certificate-one without a violation history including the revocation. Balancing the interests of air safety and the fiction of corporate personhood, the FAA has issued regulations to look beyond the formal corporate applicants and consider whether certain key individuals had materially contributed to a previous revocation of an entity's certificate. This article analyzes those regulations and suggests adopting certain tort principles in applying and enforcing those regulations.
