Pilot of Crashed Plane Had His Ticket Lifted
WASHINGTON, (AP)- The pilot of a plane which crashed near Toledo, Ohio, with 22 deaths last weekend was using a pilot rating that had been ordered revoked but was still valid pending appeal, officials reported.
The Federal Aviation Agency announced yesterday it had issued an order last July 15 revoking the airline pilot rating of Donald L.J. Chesher, the pilot who was killed with 21 others in the Arctic-Pacific Airlines plane crash.
Chesher appealed the FAA order and it was stayed pending a decision by the Civil Aeronautics Board, which held a hearing last Aug. 23. James Springer, president of the airline. said the fatal flight was the first assigned to Chesher since the hearing.
Charges on which FAA based its action against Chesher included flying more than the legal limit on hours, failure to maintain proper records, and listing as copilot on two flights a man who was not aboard the plane.
