FAA RAMP INSPECTION ON AN AIR TAXI LEAR JET.

Narrative

ON SEP/XX/95 I LOADED MY 3 PAX AND THEIR CARGO AT SDF ARPT FOR OUR TRIP TO FXE. WE LANDED AT XA20 AND PARKED AT THE FBO; THE PAX LEFT AND MY COPLT AND I CONTINUED OUR PLANNING FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP TO NASSAU; GRAND TURK; AND TO ST CROIX. THE FAA'S MR. X ARRIVED ABOUT 10 MINS AFTER OUR PAX LEFT AND WANTED TO SEE THE AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE; REGISTRATION WHICH I PROVIDED AND THEN ASKED FOR MY WT AND BAL SHEET WHICH I PROVIDED HIM; WHICH WAS ON MY FLT LOG. HE THEN SAID MY CARGO WAS NOT SECURED BY MY NET AND I EXPLAINED WE WERE IN THE LOADING AND UNLOADING PHASE AND THE NET WOULD BE SECURE FOR TKOF. HE THEN ASKED WHO REMOVED THE SEATS AND I TOLD HIM OUR MECH AND HE ASKED IF HE HAD DONE A 337 FORM; I SAID YES IT WAS IN THE MAINT LOGS AT SDF. HE THEN SAID THERE WAS A COMPLAINT OUT OF SDF TO CAUSE THIS INSPECTION. HE THEN ASKED FOR A COPY OF MY FLT LOG WHICH I PROVIDED HIM. I TOLD HIM OUR DEP TIME WOULD BE XD00; IF HE WANTED TO INSPECT THINGS PRIOR TO DEP HE WAS WELCOME. HE SAID HE WOULD BE BACK AND HE LEFT. WE DEPARTED AT XD20 AND WE NEVER SAW HIM PRIOR TO DEP. HE NEVER QUESTIONED OUR FUEL BUT SHOULD BE NOTED IF HE CHKED THE COPLT OVER FUELED US AND THE FBO DEFUELED US BY 184 GALLONS AND WE HAVE RECORDS FOR THAT. ACCORDING TO PART 135 REGS AT NO TIME WAS I OPERATING OUTSIDE THEM IN ANY WAY AND MY RECORDS SHOW THIS AS THE FAA HAS THE LOG ON THE WT AND BAL AND IS COMPLETED FOR THE FIRST LEG AS REQUIRED AND SIGNED. I HAVE TAKEN ALL THE 337 FORMS FROM THE MAINT LOGS AND PUT THEM IN THE PLTS OPERATING HANDBOOK SO THERE ISN'T ANY QUESTIONS TO THE REGS ON WT AND BAL.
