Harrison Ford Can Continue Flying

After the incident, aviation authorities in the country investigated about the incident. In a report posted by NPR, according to Mr. Ford's lawyer, Atty. Hoffer, The Federal Aviation Administration decided at the completion of its analysis that no legislative or enforcement action was sanctioned. Atty. Stephen Hoffer added that Harrison Ford has paid for the penalty and he even went on counseling sessions, while the investigation was ongoing.

Meanwhile in a report by The Independent, The bureau recognized Mr. Ford's great records of acquiescence with the Federal Aviation ordinances and his accommodating approach throughout the inquiry. So the actor will still have his certificates and license to fly. Well, we just hope that Harrison Ford will not encounter incidents on his next flights.
