This investigation revealed that on several occasions, Mr. Changur misrepresented his date of birth to the FAA and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security/Homeland Security Investigations (DHS/HIS) by providing a false date of birth on FAA documents as well as a U.S. passport in order to obtain an FAA airmen medical certificate.  Additionally, Mr. Changur sought employment with a commercial air carrier utilizing this fraudulent documentation which was caught through the verification checks done by the potential employer.

This investigation is being worked jointly with DHS/HSI and FAA Security.
