Sec. 77.55  Examination of witnesses.



    (a) Each witness at a hearing under this subpart shall, after being 

sworn by the presiding officer, give his testimony under oath.

    (b) The party for whom a witness, other than an employee of the FAA, 

is testifying shall examine that witness. After that examination, other 

parties to the hearing may examine the witness, in the order fixed by 

the presiding officer. The presiding officer and the legal officer may 

then examine the witness. The presiding officer may grant any party an 

additional opportunity to examine any witness, if that party adequately 

justifies the additional examination.

    (c) The legal officer examines each FAA employee who is a witness, 

before the other parties examine him. After that examination, the order 

prescribed in paragraph (b) of this section applies. An FAA employee may 

testify only as to facts within his personal knowledge and the 

application of FAA regulations, standards, and policies.
