Google "Air Trek Accidents" and See What Comes Up
NTSB Law Judge Reverses Emergency Order of Revocation Issued Against the Air Carrier Certificate Held by Air Trek, Inc., a 30-year Air Ambulance Operator
Google "Air Trek Accidents" and see what comes up.
Doing a little background research would have revealed that this company crashed 4 jets (from a fleet of 5 jets and 3 twin pistons or 50% or their aircraft) in the 4 years preceding the FAA suspension/revocation of their Part 135 certificate; resulting in numerous fatalities and injuries to employees, medical patients (during Air Ambulance operations), and family members.
In addition to the accidents, numerous other issues ranging from multiple engine failures, gear-up landings, accident site tampering, etc. are documented by the FAA/NTSB and several foreign governments.
Conducting a Google search will bring up numerous websites that will lead you to the appropriate government sites or visit the NTSB accident database and conduct a search there.
Why did it take the FAA so long to look hard at this company?
