...INCURSION PILOT LOSES CERTIFICATE...
The TSA rule is coming down two days after the FAA took the rare step
of issuing an emergency revocation of Hayden "Jim" Sheaffer's
certificate -- the pilot in command of the Cessna 150 that breached
the ultra-sensitive airspace around the White House on May 11. It also
came two days after a Canadian-registered Cessna 340 breached the
ADIZ, causing a brief evacuation of the Capitol. It was reportedly
having communications problems after taking a lightning strike. In
announcing the action against Sheaffer, the most severe sanction
against a pilot, the FAA said that allowing him to continue to fly
represented an "unacceptable risk to safety." Among the long list of
sins the FAA says Sheaffer committed, it repeatedly notes that through
much of the crisis, he let his passenger Troy Martin, a student pilot
with 30 hours of training, do the flying.
