UNCERTIFIED FAR PART 135 OPS.

Narrative

WHILE ON THE GND IN WILMINGTON; NC; ON AN AIR AMBULANCE FLT FROM HONDURAS TO NEW AMSTERDAM WE WERE CALLED BY AN FAA REPRESENTATIVE AND TOLD WE HAD BEEN RPTED AS OPERATING AN ILLEGAL CHARTER. WE IMMEDIATELY CALLED IN A REPLACEMENT ACFT AND PREPARED TO RESPOND TO THE ALLEGATIONS. I HAD BEEN FLYING WITH THIS SMALL COMPANY FOR 3 MONTHS; DURING WHICH TIME THE ACFT OWNER AND COMPANY OWNER HAD CHANGED OVER TO A DIFFERENT PART 135 CERTIFICATE. HE DID THIS WHILE I WAS AWAY FROM THE COMPANY FOR 2 WKS IN LATE JULY AND EARLY AUGUST. WHEN I REJOINED HIM; HE SIMPLY TOLD ME WE WERE ON ANOTHER CERTIFICATE; ONE WHICH I HAD FLOWN BEFORE AND STILL HAD TRAINING RECORDS ON. I ACCEPTED HIS WORD FOR IT AND FLEW A PART 135 TRIP FOR HIM AND WITH HIM SEVERAL DAYS LATER; ALTHOUGH WE DID NOT YET HAVE THE PROPER FLT LOGS ON THE OPS MANUAL. I INCORRECTLY ASSUMED WE COULD GET THOSE IN SEVERAL DAYS AND CATCH UP THE PAPERWORK. AFTER SEVERAL PART 91 FLTS I REMINDED 'MY BOSS;' WHO WAS ALSO MY COPLT; THAT WE STILL NEEDED THE FLT LOGS AND OPS MANUAL. HOWEVER; HE REBUFFED ME FOR QUESTIONING HIS BUSINESS; SO I 'BACKED OFF' TO KEEP FROM AGGRAVATING THE SIT. ON SEP/FRI/94 HE 'BACKED ME INTO A CORNER' TO GO ON A LONG TRIP. IT WAS ON THAT TRIP WE WERE CHALLENGED BY THE FAA. I FINALLY DEMANDED TO SEE THE PAPERWORK SHOWING OUR ADDITION TO THE RECENT PART 135 CERTIFICATE. IT APPEARED TO BE OKAY; BUT SEVERAL DAYS LATER I LEARNED FROM THE CERTIFICATE HOLDER THAT IT HAD BEEN FORGED. I AM NOW AWAITING CONTACT WITH AN FAA REPRESENTATIVE TO MAKE A FULL AND OPEN STATEMENT ABOUT THE SIT AND MY INVOLVEMENT IN IT.
