A Flying school in USA, Blue Diamond Aviation, has informed that the said pilot who obtained his Aviation Authority (FAA) license from USA is under investigation for reporting falsified flying hours in USA, reports say.
Reportedly Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is aware of this individual and his incompetency and number of petitions has also been submitted informing that he has obtained a forged FAA license. Despite the information provided, CAA has issued the individual a license.
The said pilot has reportedly attended 7 schools in Sri Lanka and has failed the A/L examination. It is also rumoured that he possess a degree (2 year) from an unrecognized school in UK and has managed to get it authorized from University Grants Commission in Sri Lanka in order to apply for airlines.
He has also been expelled from Asian Aviation Center for copying in an examination during his Private Pilot License training.
