PALIKIR, Pohnpei (FSM Information Service): November 28,
1997 – President Jacob Nena informed Caroline Pacific Air, Inc.,
pilot Dalverne Steffensen that his Entry Permit has been revoked, 15
days after receipt of President’s letter which was dated November 19,
1997.
The revocation action is based upon findings by the FSM Attorney
General that Steffensen misrepresented on his entry permit
application that he possessed a valid pilot license and also a valid
aircraft mechanic license which is untrue. The application signed by
Steffensen on October 21, 1996, misrepresented his qualifications on
his application.
It was discovered that Steffensen’s US and FSM Pilot licenses were
based on a Canadian Pilot license which expired in April 1995 and has
not since been renewed. A renewal of his Canadian Pilot license would
validate his U.S. Pilot license. Not having a valid license bars him
from carrying of persons and property for hire under any
circumstances.
Nena told that if he willfully and unlawfully remain in FSM after
the effective date of his revocation notice, he will be subject to
deportation proceedings.
