Major infractions/violations penalties?

• A. 1st offense suspended 30 to 60 days; 2nd offense suspended minimum 6 months; 3rd offense permanent revocation
• B. 1st offense 7 days; 2nd 14 days; 3rd 30 days
• C. 1st offense 1 year; 2nd 2 years; 3rd 3 years
• D. 1st offense permanent revocation; 2nd offense zero; 3rd offense indefinite

Answer: (A)

Penalties for major infractions are designed to escalate with repeated violations to emphasize safety and accountability on the airfield. For the first offense, a substantial suspension—typically 30 to 60 days—signals that the violation is serious but allows a return after a cooldown and review. If a second offense occurs, the suspension length increases to a minimum of six months, reflecting the higher risk and the need for a longer period to reassess behavior and readiness. A third offense leads to permanent revocation, removing driving privileges to prevent ongoing unsafe conduct. This progressive approach helps deter repeat violations and protects airfield operations. The other patterns don’t fit this safety-focused progression: they either impose too-short consequences for major infractions, or present inconsistent or illogical sequences like immediate permanent revocation or unrelated penalties.
