Ronald P. Franklin, of Pearland, was given three years probation for falsifying...
federal court to falsifying the aircraft's annual inspection records on Oct. 9, 2020. He told the court he lied about the plane having inspection authorization and falsely confirmed that he performed an annual inspection on the aircraft he said was OK to fly, court records show. The aircraft then experienced an in-flight power loss that led to a minor crash.
The aircraft Franklin lied about inspecting, a Beech B35 single-engine plane, was involved in a single crash since the inspection in 2020, according to a Federal Aviation Administration document. A National Transportation Safety Board report said an aircraft with the same tail number was damaged April 3, 2021 in an accident near Pearland. No injuries occurred as a result of that crash, the report said.
U.S. District Judge Keith Ellison ordered Franklin to pay restitution in the amount of $60,000, court records show.
