Understanding FAR 61.15 Requirements

Under Federal Aviation Regulation 61.15, pilots must report "motor vehicle actions" to the FAA Civil Security Division within 60 days. This includes license suspensions or criminal convictions related to alcohol or drugs. As an experienced FAA Defense Lawyer, we help you navigate these deadlines to avoid the immediate revocation of your hard-earned certificates.

Navigating the 60-Day Reporting Window

The clock starts ticking the moment a conviction or administrative action occurs. Missing this critical window can lead to harsher penalties than the original offense. Our law firm in Colorado Springs provides the precise guidance needed to file accurate disclosures, ensuring that a temporary lapse doesn’t become a permanent end to your flying career.
