Aviation

Aviation matters sit at the intersection of federal regulation, technical fact, and conventional litigation. Understanding the flying is not incidental to the case; it is usually the case.

Ronald A. Stearney, Jr. is a licensed commercial and airline transport pilot. That background informs how I read maintenance logs, air traffic communications, and airman records, and how I work with the technical experts these matters require.

Matters I handle

  • FAA enforcement actions and certificate appeals
  • Airman medical certificate issues
  • Aircraft purchase, sale, and title matters
  • Aircraft damage and insurance disputes
  • Hangar, tie-down, and maintenance disputes
  • Aviation accident and injury claims

Deadlines are short

FAA enforcement actions and NTSB appeals run on short, unforgiving timetables measured in days rather than months. If you have received a letter of investigation or a notice of proposed certificate action, contact me immediately rather than after responding.
