The FAA opened an investigation — what do I do?

Do not speak with investigators before consulting counsel. Statements can be used to revoke your certificate.

Who is liable in a crash?

Pilots, operators, manufacturers, and maintenance shops can all share liability — a thorough investigation is essential.

Do I need a lawyer to buy an aircraft?

Yes — title, escrow, FAA registration, and tax issues are all specialized.
