Opérations de secours
Following the accident, it was found that the owner and pilot on different but
numerous flights, operated his aircraft (N1202S) without a U.S.-issued airworthiness certificate, operated it while it was in an unairworthy condition and in contravention of the terms of a Federal Aviation Administration-issued ferry permit, and flew it for commercial flights when he had not met various Part

The operating certificate of Aero Bieke was revoked on August 12, 1997 and the pilot's ATPL was later also revoked.
