Narrative

I AM WRITING THIS LETTER TO FURTHER CLARIFY MY ACTIONS OF JUN/XX/93; AS REQUESTED BY YOU AND BY THE TEB; NJ; FSDO. AT APPROX XF00 ON JUN/XX/93; I ARRIVED AT THE ATX LONG BEACH; CA; MAINT FACILITY. AFTER MAINT; I WAS TO FERRY MY COMPANY'S MLG ACFT TO OUR FACILITY AT THE VAN NUYS ARPT; TO BE READY FOR AN XB30 DEP FOR THE OWNER OF THE ACFT. THE ATX INSPECTOR WAS NOT AT THE FBO FACILITY FOR MY DEP SO I REVIEWED ALL WORK ORDERS FOR PROPER COMPLETION AND SIGN-OFF. AFTER THAT I SIGNED FOR AND RECEIVED THE ACFT LOGBOOKS FROM THE FBO INSPECTION DEPT. I THEN FLEW THE AIRPLANE TO VAN NUYS. IN ERROR AND IN VIOLATION OF THE ATX FAA APPROVED GMM; I ALSO SIGNED ATX FORM MLR-100-A. UPON LNDG AT VAN NUYS THE ATX INSPECTOR MET THE ACFT. I IMMEDIATELY INFORMED HIM OF MY VIOLATION AND ASKED IF HE COULD HELP IN CORRECTING MY SIGNING MLR-100-A. I WAS CALLED BY YOU ON JUL/XY/93 AT WHICH TIME YOU INFORMED ME OF MY VIOLATION AND SUGGESTED STEPS THAT I MUST FOLLOW: WRITE TO YOU; A LETTER EXPLAINING MY ACTIONS AND THEN CALL MR. FSDO POI AT THE TEB; NJ; FSDO. I IMMEDIATELY COMPLIED WITH BOTH SUGGESTIONS. AGAIN; I WOULD LIKE TO STRESS THAT I WAS AT FAULT AND CLEARLY IN VIOLATION OF ATX'S; FAA APPROVED MAINT PROCS. I HAVE THOROUGHLY REVIEWED THE ATX GMM THAT IS CARRIED ON BOARD THE AIRPLANE. I ASSURE YOU; ATX MGMNT AND THE TEB FSDO; MR. POI; IN PARTICULAR; THAT I WILL NOT MAKE THIS MISTAKE IN THE FUTURE. I AM VERY CLR AS TO THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE VIOLATION AND TO MY PIC AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY.
