爱尔兰高等法院维持国际宇航科学院的授权,于2022年降落一架跳伞飞机,并因安全考虑而暂停驾驶员的执照。
Ireland's High Court upheld the IAA's authority to ground a skydiving plane and suspend a pilot’s license over safety concerns in 2022.
爱尔兰高等法院于2025年裁定,爱尔兰航空局(IAA)在2022年8月和9月对Kilkenny的爱尔兰天空潜水俱乐部进行安全检查期间,有合法权力停飞飞机并吊销与该俱乐部有关的飞行员执照。
The Irish High Court ruled in 2025 that the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) had legal authority to ground an aircraft and suspend a pilot’s licence linked to the Irish Skydiving Club in Kilkenny during safety inspections in August and September 2022.
法院驳回了俱乐部及其董事Eoin Nevin提出的异议,Eoin Nevin声称国际宇航科学院缺乏权威,检查员不合格。
The court dismissed a challenge by the club and its director, Eoin Nevin, who claimed the IAA lacked authority and inspectors were unqualified.
宇航科学院自2021年以来一直在寻求检查,理由是安全清单不足、飞行图过时和飞机标识无法读取。
The IAA had been seeking inspections since 2021, citing inadequate safety checklists, outdated flight charts, and unreadable aircraft markings.
在第二次检查期间,该飞行员在没有法律顾问在场的情况下拒绝出示文件,促使宇航科学院停飞飞机,并涉及Gardaí安全问题。
During a second inspection, the pilot refused to show documents without legal counsel, prompting the IAA to ground the aircraft and involve gardaí over safety concerns.
经过后续检查,该飞机于2024年3月获得批准。
The aircraft was cleared in March 2024 after a follow-up inspection.
Anthony Barr法官确认宇航科学院有权进行突击检查,以确保航空安全,指出不存在法律障碍,不合作破坏了监管监督。
Judge Anthony Barr affirmed the IAA’s right to unannounced inspections to ensure aviation safety, stating no legal barriers existed and that non-cooperation undermined regulatory oversight.
