Ford's attorney Stephen Hofer said, "The FAA conducted a full investigation into the matter, including an interview with Mr Ford, and determined that no administrative or enforcement action was warranted. Mr Ford retains his pilot's certificate without restriction."
 

He added that the agency considered Ford's "long history of compliance" and his "cooperative attitude" during the investigation in closing the matter.

Ford had another close call when he crash-landed a World War II-era vintage plane on Penmar Golf Course in California's Venice in 2015 after its engine failed upon take off.
