inspector. The FDOT inspector stated that if the Airport Authority did not report the incident
to the FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), the FDOT would report it.

seconded the motion, and the motion passed by a vote of 4 -2, with Mr. Rice and Mr.
Klein dissenting. Mr. Meade abstained because of a conflict of interest.
