KRIS007 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I have searched here and did not find an answer. I was arrested when I was 18 yrs old and received a felony on my record. I am now 35 yrs old have not been in trouble since. Will this prevent me from flying in the GOM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldy Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I have searched here and did not find an answer. I was arrested when I was 18 yrs old and received a felony on my record. I am now 35 yrs old have not been in trouble since. Will this prevent me from flying in the GOM? That really all depends on what the case was related to. Read FAR 61.14 thru 61.18. The one area that is not clearly defined is the approval of TSA and what criteria they use. If you get licensed, then its just up to each individual company's policy as to who gets hired. I dont think the GOM has any different requirements than anywhere else...its really a company decision. Goldy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRIS007 Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Thank you Goldy, I read FAR and my offense does not relate to drugs or alcohol and I don’t have a DUI or any traffic tickets; it was a burglary that resulted from taking some items from a friend’s house which one of the residents (a minor) was involved. I am currently taking my PPL and will be ready to solo in the next week or so, how would I find out if I would be disqualified from holding a commercial certificate before I proceed with training? Would I talk to the FAA or TSA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADRidge Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Seems to me that would be an FAA thing. Do you have a 2nd class medical? Other than that, it sounds like you'd just have to call any helicopter company you'd like to work for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
