FAA Letter from Dan Hanley: 911 Truth

Capt. Dan Hanley

Dear Ms. Barbara Barnet, Chief Investigator, AAE and Mr. Jeff Duven, Systems Oversight Division, Aircraft Certification Service, AIR-800,

I write to you both today regarding my receipt of the attached 3-page memorandum authored by Mr. Duven and sent to Ms. Barnet.  Please be advised that upon reading this memo, I responded to FAA Administrator Steven Dickson and the FAA Hotline Team and was curious if you read my response.  

​Dear FAA Administrator....

"Dear FAA Administrator Steven Dickson and the FAA Hotline Team,

I am in receipt of an undated/unsigned FAA memorandum that was received by FAA Barbara Barnet, Chief Investigator - AAE prepared by Jeffrey E. Duven, Aviation Safety, System Oversight Division, Aircraft Certification Service - AIR-800, which unsuccessfully attempted to respond to my safety and security concerns addressed in FAA Hotline Report S20200617032. This memorandum is yet another weak attempt to stonewall me and our organization.  (Please see attached) 

In the first paragraph of this memorandum it was stated that I had previously submitted this information to the FAA and other US government agencies. This is a false statement. This did not occur.

In paragraph 2 it was stated:

"The AAE Reporting and Data Analysis Branch asked the FAA investigating office to determine if the complainant's previous submittals addressed the same concerns included in Aviation Safety Hotline S20200617032, and if so, agreed that no further contact with the complainant or investigation of the complaint was necessary and the evaluation of the complaint could be documented in a memorandum."

The memorandum goes on to state in paragraph 3:

"The FAA investigating office reviewed material associated with previous complaints submitted to the FAA by the complainant.  This material included information related to whistleblower cases EWB18616 (related to a complaint submitted on June 9, 2018) and WB0979 (related to a complaint submitted on April 14, 2009), which also references a complaint filed with the Department of Transportation."

This paragraph concludes with the statement:

" Therefore the FAA determined the concerns in the complaint have been previously reported to the FAA and the complaint contained no new information relative to those previously reported concerns."

Nothing could be further from the truth. As I have previously pointed out to the FAA Hotline Team in another email, I requested via the Freedom of Information Act both of the above named whistleblower reports. The FOIA office response indicated to me that one of the reports no longer existed. In reviewing the second report, it was noted that the information contained therein was totally irrelevant to the issues addressed in S20200617032. Please do not attempt to twist facts with me.

Paragraph 5 states:

"The FAA reviewed its certification records and noted that such a system does not currently exist, and no such system is installed on any transport category airplanes."  

The key word in this statement is "currently". While it may be true that the uninterruptible autopilot does not currently exist onboard commercial jet aircraft, we have already demonstrated to the FAA and others that it was developed, produced, and installed onboard a commercial jet aircraft in the mid-90s prior to 9/11. It appears that the FAA is intentionally attempting to circumvent our allegations contained in S20200617032 and we will not allow this to occur. The deceitful statements and lies in this memorandum are too numerous to respond to at present.

The closing sentence in the memorandum reads thus:

"Therefore, AIR has determined further investigation of the allegations in Aviation Safety Hotline S20200617032 is not warranted and we request the case be closed."

No investigation of the 9/11 Pilot Whistleblowers actual allegations nor interviews of expert witnesses to obtain sworn testimony have ever been conducted by the FAA. In previous correspondence to the FAA, I have repeatedly asked that case S20200617032 be left open pending receipt of much additional information/evidence. 

It appears that, based on frivolous grounds, the FAA is intent on closing this file. This is to be expected given that our allegations directly refute the official 9/11 story that three of the alleged hijackers actually piloted the aircraft into buildings on 9/11. It is estimated that over 50% (probably more) of the US population do not agree with the officiel 9/11 narrative. Cowardly bureaucrats in Washington DC and elsewhere would not dare question it for fear of losing their jobs or even, worse yet, their lives for speaking out. Sad, isn't it?

This email is to serve notice to the FAA Administrator Steve Dickson and the FAA Hotline Team that, as a US taxpayer and federal whistleblower who has been previously been disenfranchised by the FAA/DOT, this case is far from over should the FAA choose to close S20200617032. I, once again, request that this case remain open so that a thorough investigation of our allegations is conducted by all concerned government agencies.  

We will patiently await a decision by the FAA and respond accordingly by any and all means available.

Sincerely,

Captain Dan Hanley (retired)
Director - 9/11 Pilot Whistleblowers

Additionally, I sent a second email response regarding my illegal medical grounding in 2003 to the aforementioned and Mr. Scott Harding at the DOT IG office:

"Dear DOT Inspector General Chief Compliance Officer Scott Harding, FAA Administrator Steven Dickson, and the FAA Hotline Team,

Please refer to the undated/unsigned attached memorandum prepared by Jeffrey E. Duven, Aviation Safety, System Division Oversight, Aircraft Certification, AIR-800 to Barbara Barnet, Chief Investigator, AAE regarding the information addressed below.

Item 2 of paragraph 1 of the memorandum states:

"2.  The 2003 termination of his employment at United Airlines was wrongful and was connected to complaints that he made to the airline."

Be advised that, in the filing of S20200617032 Hotline Report, my intent was to draw attention to the materials provided regarding the employment of the uninterruptible autopilot on 9/11 , especially the information contained in the website at 911pilots.org , and not necessarily to my wrongful termination. Since it was addressed in the attached memorandum, I provide the following information to clarify matters.

In paragraph 3 of the memorandum it was stated that the I submitted a complaint to the FAA on April 6, 2006 but the "FAA was unable to review the related information as files and documentation for older cases are not retained by the FAA." (How convenient) Please understand that this complaint was my initial whistleblower filing with the FAA of my allegations that I was wrongfully terminated in violation of RICO statutes for speaking out about issues related to safety and security in the post-9/11 era. This report was filed within the four year statute of limitations for RICO cases, a report that I have fully documented proof that it was filed. 

Over the course of the next five years, I was attempting to expose not only this process of wrongful termination, but also the alleged corruption surrounding the United Airlines post-9/11 bankruptcy, which included purported judicial corruption. (See attached) Both the Department of Justice and Transportation/Federal Aviation Administration refused to cooperate in this investigation of federal criminality. At no time was I attempting to restore my job as a United Airlines B-777 captain, but only to expose violations of RICO statutes. I assert that this inaction was fraudulent and negligent on behalf of these government agencies, which can and will be proven in a federal court of law.

In 2011, DOT Assistant Inspector General Robert Westbrook ordered DOT Inspector General Chief Compliance Officer Scott Harding to close my case without reviewing any evidence nor interviewing any of my witnesses because he claimed that I failed to comply with AIR 21 requirements to file a complaint with DOL/OSHA within 90 days of filing my whistleblower disclosure.  This, on its face, is absurd! Since I was no longer an active airline pilot, AIR 21 was irrelevant. Both DOT and DOJ ignored my petitions for relief.

In 2011, my search for an aviation attorney to represent me was futile so I prepared a pro se federal tort claim suit (attached) and mailed a certified advance copy to Attorney General Eric Holder, which was forwarded by his office to the FAA legal office. Shortly thereafter, I received a letter from the FAA legal office in Washington, DC with point-of-contact information for the head attorney there. I called him to discuss this matter and a half hour heated debate ensued over the information contained in the suit. The conversation ended with this attorney stating "Go ahead and file the suit...you'll lose" after which he laughed and slammed the phone down. Please click here for additional information. I will have the last laugh in this matter.

I am presently in direct contact with Delta Airlines whistleblower Karlene Petitt whose career was destroyed in an identical manner as mine through employment of a 'hostile work environment forced psychiatric evaluation' that resulted in a bogus bipolar diagnosis. I am also very close friends with Spirit Airlines whistleblower Captain Michael Driscoll who recently won his court case involving his wrongful termination as a whistleblower in 2004 through employment of the same process, which resulted in proven RICO violations and the resignation of FAA AMEs Dr. Michael Berry and Dr. Silberman. I am also in close contact with many other pilot whistleblowers whose careers have met the same demise as ours. Collectively, we have formed an organization called Whistleblowing Airline Pilots Association and are pressing forward with legal action and media attention to this horrendous process of elimination of airline pilots. 

Justice will eventually be served and compensatory damage claims awarded in my case.

Sincerely,

Captain Dan Hanley (retired)
Former B-777 captain"

​​Please be advised that we find the past repetitive stonewalling by the Federal Aviation Administration and the apparent disregard of evidence and information provided thus far in this important investigation to be totally unsatisfactory. It appears that the FAA is intent on sweeping our allegations under the rug in its attempt to close this case as is evident in the last sentence of the memorandum. Sufficient evidence has already been provided to the FAA to give cause for an extensive investigation involving other relevant branches of the government in this case concerned with the greatest crime ever committed on American soil in its history, a heinous crime that has never been criminally investigated. Please read the attached joint letter for details.
We have contacted other individuals within our organization who will be providing evidence and information that has not been submitted in the past.


There is much more to this case than just addressing the uninterruptible autopilot system. We all know that it existed and was installed onboard commercial jet aircraft prior to 9/11. No one within the FAA has even addressed the issue of the lack of qualifications of the alleged hijackers to have been able to have piloted the aircraft. This is not an issue that concerns aircraft certification/AIR-800 but one involving FAA aircrew qualifications/certification.     

Please be advised that I have attempted to contact Mr. Duven on phone number (206) 231-3200 that was listed on the memorandum numerous times without success.  Kindly provide me with an alternate phone number so that we can discuss the above issues in detail. I may be reached at (92) 300-555-0644 or on Skype at live:captaindanhanley and am available 24/7.

Thank you for taking the time to read this email.

Sincerely,

Captain Dan Hanley (retired)
Director - 9/11 Pilot Whistleblowers
