FAA Appeals. I assume this means the decision is suspended until the appeal to the board is decided. But this isn't a case in the regular judicial system. It's the NTSB board. So, I don't know how it might be different than any other federal case. Anyone know how NTSB legal process works? Are we back to the status quo before the decision was issued?

Typical FAA response. How this doesn't violate Double Jeopardy, and a host of other Constitutional Rights, is just beyond my comprehension.
I sincerely hope the Defendant in this case, sues them into the next Century.
This doesn't mean the FAA can continue with "enforcement" actions....that ship has sailed. This is just a political delaying tactic....and is total B.S.
Call it "sour grapes"...the FAA doesn't like to lose.
EDIT: one more thing; this decision happened on a Friday. The FAA has
asked the entire NTSB board to review the case. Until such time as the NTSB
decides to hear the case, nothing is suspended. This is more mis-information put out by the FAA, to delay things. The NTSB has
not responded, nor will they, until probably at least next week.
But,
until the NTSB grants the FAA the right to be heard on their appeal,
nothing changes from the original Administration Judges decision.
