Mechanic Charged With Falsifying FAA Credentials

Mechanic Charged With Falsifying FAA Credentials: "If you've had any work done by 'The Plane Man' in Casa Grande, Ariz., you might want to have it checked by an A&P before your next flight. A federal grand jury has charged Glen Forsyth, 43, with five felony offenses resulting from a 100-hour inspection on an Alon Ercoupe in July of 2008. A week after the annual, the engine failed and the aircraft was written off in the off-airport landing that followed. LawFuel.com reported the post-accident inspection 'caused FAA aircraft safety inspectors to believe that the fuel pump had not been properly inspected.'"
