DES MOINES—Fahad Nabeel Hussein
Al-Daous, 33, from Waterloo, Iowa, appeared in federal court in Des Moines
today to be sentenced after his plea of guilty one count of making false
statements to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Al-Daous was sentenced to a four-year
term of probation and required to pay a $100 special assessment. The conditions
of probation included a prohibition on applying for any pilot’s licenses or
piloting any aircraft.
In a plea agreement, Al-Daous admitted
falsely inflating the number of flight hours listed on instrument-rated pilot’s
license applications he filed in Ottumwa, Iowa, on May 21 and May 27, 2011.
Al-Daous also entered false information into his flight log, both before and
after his May applications. The false statements in Al-Daous’ flight log were
uncovered when he applied for a commercial pilot training program in September
2011.
This case was investigated by the United
States Department of Transportation-Office of Inspector General and the Federal
Bureau of Investigation and prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office
for the Southern District of Iowa.
