‘Free Citizen’ Alaskan Pilot Convicted Of Flying Without Certificate - William Marsan faces up to three years in jail for federal convictions
The investigation revealed he hadn't had a valid medical since 2020 and requested the registration on his aircraft be canceled in 2022. The FAA issued an emergency revocation of his ATP in 2024, but he continued to fly the unregistered Cherokee Six. He represented himself at the trial, which lasted three days. Although he was arrested last September, he is not currently in custody and will be sentenced in April. He could be jailed for up to three years and fined $250,000 on each of the charges. Prosecutors also want the Cherokee seized.
