Narrative:
An aircraft was leased to company for their use. In accord with the lease FBO provided a pilot. The use by company of this aircraft was terminated upon a ramp inspection by FAA officials, after said officials determined that FBO did not hold an air carrier operating certificate or operations specifications and threatened company pilot with a violation. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter states an individual leased the aircraft to company. Under a pilot service agreement FBO supplied the pilot. This is normal procedure for operating this aircraft in daily operations. Somehow the FAA is taking exception to company use of aircraft. FBO is working with an attorney. Analyst view: situation is vague.
