Ron Klein, D-Boca Raton, and Robert Wexler, D-Delray Beach, said they wanted the FAA to prioritize its review of <a href=\"https:\/\/indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/2008\/03\/kemper-aviation-owner-defended-safety.html\">Kemper Aviation of Lantana<\/a>.<br \/>Their call for action came a day after four people, including Kemper Aviation&#8217;s owner, were killed in a crash near West Palm Beach, and less than six months after two other fatal crashes involving Kemper-owned planes.<br \/>Eight people have died in the crashes.<br \/>&#8220;On its face, with all these accidents, common sense would tell you this company has some problems and something is wrong,&#8221; Klein said.<br \/>Wexler said the string of accidents sounded &#8220;preventable.&#8221;<br \/>The FAA is already scrutinizing Kemper&#8217;s maintenance records and operating procedures, and said there is no timeline for finishing its review.<br \/>&#8220;We can&#8217;t determine if any enforcement action is necessary until that inspection has been completed,&#8221; FAA spokesman Warren Woodberry said. He said the agency can impose penalties ranging from warnings and stiff fines to a complete shutdown of the flight school.<br \/>The National Transportation Safety Board is also investigating the crashes.<br \/><span style=\"color: rgb(153, 0, 0);\">15\/03\/08 The Associated Press\/Florida Times-Union, USA<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lantana, Fla.: A pair of South Florida congressmen are urging the Federal Aviation Administration to take immediate action against a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-594","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/594","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=594"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/594\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=594"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=594"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=594"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
