The Administrative Law Judges conduct formal hearings and issue initial decisions on appeals by airmen filed with the Safety Board. The NTSB serves as the "court of appeals" for any airman, mechanic or mariner whenever certificate action is taken by the Federal Aviation Administration or the U.S. Coast Guard Commandant, or when civil penalties are assessed by the FAA.
Advice: Keep A Copy of Your Documents
Make sure that you keep for yourself a copy of your appeal, the complaint, your answer and any other documents relating to this case in a file or folder, so that you have a record of them and can refer to them when you need to.
