The Federal Aviation Administration could fine the carrier for an improper repair.
The Federal Aviation Administration has proposed fining Denver, N.C.’s Mountain Air Cargo $132,425 for flying a plane with an improperly repaired dent.
The airline flew the plane between Aug. 7, 2012, and Oct. 29, 2012, when it was not in airworthy condition, according to the FAA.
“The agency alleges the company failed to follow its FAA-approved aircraft maintenance program, which required it to report the damage to the aircraft manufacturer along with a repair plan, and obtain the manufacturer’s approval for the repairs. The dent exceeded the allowable limits for the kind of repair that was done, the FAA alleges,” the FAA said in a statement.
