The primary consideration of the Administrator in monitoring such decisions is to insure the overall FAA policy, as developed through such individual decisions, is uniform and fair nationwide, and not to insure each fits within a defined and mandatory standard set out at the national level. While some of these consolidated causes of action still pend here as to some of the personal and corporate parties, it is doubtful, as conceded by plaintiffs' counsel, if further trial proceedings will be necessary, in view of the asserted financial irresponsibility of those parties. . 12.

The plane then levelled and there was a surge of power to the engines just before the plane began hitting tops of trees on the side of the mountain. By reason of Holden's statement, the FAA had some *394 proof a flight had taken place under the contract between Western Electric and Golden Eagle on April 9, 1970, but the specific functions actually performed by Golden Eagle for Western Electric on that and other flights needed to be proved by records, receipts, evidence of payments, etc. But Skipper maintains the plane crashed because the right engine caught on fire and failed. Plaintiffs state such unairworthy condition was the proximate cause of the air crash of October 2, 1970, which resulted in injuries and deaths of which plaintiffs herein complain. Meyers and Whitehead reported this information to FAA inspectors Hanson and Crocker, of the Oklahoma City GADO. The pilot in command of N464M on October 2, 1970, was Danny E. Crocker, and the co-pilot was Ronald Skipper, President of Golden Eagle. After Sizemore's inspection of N464M at Las Vegas, Nevada, but prior to X-raying of engine mounts which would take place in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on September 11, 1970, the FAA issued a special airworthiness certificate for N464M with operating limitations for a ferry flight. Such phenomena is a relatively common indication of a rich fuel mixture at high altitudes, however, and does not necessarily indicate any mechanical malfunction in the engines. Golden Eagle contended it had in no way violated Federal Aviation Regulations. 120. Until that moment the flight had been absolutely routine, he said. Hanson lectured Skipper, Danielson and Kennedy to disassociate the name of Golden Eagle from large aircraft operations, although he admitted they could, as properly licensed individuals, pilot such aircraft if the plane were separately leased by the operator. OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. 11 (AP)The copilot of an air plane that crashed in the Colo rado Rockies Oct. 2 with a loss of 30 lives including those of 13 members of a college football team said yesterday that the plane had been airworthy and the pilots qualified.

The Court rules, however, that on the basis of the unsubstantiality and credibility of the evidence presented, he cannot find the absence of proper seat belts proximately caused the injuries and deaths. 95. It is the responsibility of the lowest operational level of Flight Standards, appropriate to the violation involved, for determining whether compliance may best be obtained through *419 administrative enforcement action or through legal enforcement action.

Plummer based his opinion primarily upon the service agreement between Western Electric and Golden Eagle, stating in his legal document that "when all the provisions of the agreement are considered together and in context, the agreement constitutes an arrangement whereby Golden Eagle provides virtually the same type of aviation transportation services that a commercial operator provides when duly certificated.". On or about May 3, 1970, Golden Eagle principals met with Hanson to discuss their contractual relationship with Western Electric. 58. Pinger also personally signed several contracts between Western Electric and Aero Data Link for lease of aircraft, and signed several blank contracts and checks at Kennedy's request after Pinger left the Oklahoma City area on or about April 28, 1970. Plaintiffs are not the incidental beneficiaries but the intended beneficiaries of the duties of inspection and warning preempted by the FAA. 8. The Court stated, at page 377: As in First National Bank, the standard by which Flight Standards personnel are to make decisions upon the extent of investigation is "phrased in terms of general policy *404 standards to be applied by the agency," rather than in terms of certain actions which must be undertaken once an inspector is presented with a specific situation. It is speculative to assume pilots who would ignore such generally respected safety precautions required under Part 91, which provisions they were claiming regulated their flight, would follow such rules more closely under Part 121. Under the facts as set out in the Court's Findings of Fact, the investigation into the Western Electric Golden Eagle contract and enforcement proceedings relevant thereto were being non-negligently carried out by FAA personnel at the time of the air crash. On November 24, 1969, Melvin R. Hanson, Chief of Oklahoma City GADO, wrote to Golden Eagle to ascertain facts about the previous day's flight in order to determine whether there were any indications of illegality. After trial of the liability issue of this action and after considering the evidence, the credibility of witnesses, and the excellent briefs of counsel, the Court has made certain Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Opinion of the Court, as hereinafter set forth. 77. It is the responsibility of the lowest operational level of Flight Standards, appropriate to the violation involved, to make the decision as to whether compliance may best be obtained through administrative action or through legal enforcement procedures. This story is the first-hand account of the only surviving crew member, Ron Skipper, co-pilot on that flight. It does note, however, that some witnesses reported a small amount of black smoke coming from the right engine. The report said that if there was smoke, it might have been caused by the rich mixture of fuel the plane was using and would not have caused the accident. Donald Pinger, a friend of Golden Eagle principals, never saw nor signed such document. 26. The Federal Aviation Act of 1958 specifically charges the Administrator with the responsibility of regulating both civil and military operations in the airspace in the interest of safety. The actions of FAA personnel herein alleged to be negligently performed, were discretionary for purposes of the Federal Tort Claims Act exception mandating governmental immunity for discretionary acts even if such discretion be abused. On October 2, 1970, total time on the airframe of N464M was 38,593 hours, 26 minutes; time since overhaul of the left engine was 1,011 hours, 5 minutes, and time since overhaul on the right engine 1,747 hours, 14 minutes.

In this decision the Court principally relies on two United States Supreme Court opinions, one decision of the Court of Appeals, and one District Court decision of great clarity, viz. The aircraft was placed in storage at Las Vegas, Nevada, where it remained until it was sold to Jack Richards Aircraft Company. The Martin 404 suddenly went out of control seconds before it plummeted into a, ridge, said Ronald G. Skipper, the copilot and president of, the firm that furnished the crew. 99.
