- Not under an uncleared federal out-of-service or safety action.
- BIPD on file: $1,000,000.
- Cargo insurance on file.
- No history of insurance lapses.

- No preventable crashes in the last 24 months; recordable crash rate 0.891 not elevated.

- Authority involuntarily revoked 3 times, most recent 2022-11-25 — recurring instability (typically insurance-lapse / reinstate cycles).
