Have you received a FAA Letter of Investigation?
A Letter of Investigation from the FAA is sent when the FAA has cause to suspect a violation of Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR), or a hot line call has been made.
Examples of violations of FAR can include:
- failure to report a DUI on your medical application
- part 135 operations
- disqualifying medical condition
- disqualifying medication use
- restricted airspace violation
Another common cause of a letter of investigation is an anonymous hot line call to the FAA. The FAA will investigate all hot line calls, regardless if they are baseless and malicious. Examples of a Hot Line calls include:
- Pilot drug or alcohol use
- Pilot has unreported medical treatment or condition(s)
- Pilot has unreported mental health treatment or condition(s)
Typically, the letter has a response deadline which should not be ignored.
