		The Fairchild Swearingen Metroliner or the Fairchild Aerospace Metro is a 19-seat, pressurised, twin turboporop airliner first produced by Swearingen and later by Fairchild.
		Late in 1971 Swearingen was aquired by Fairchild, and the plant in San Antonio, Texas where the Metro was built became part of Fairchild Aircraft Corporation.
		Although Fairchild studied a version with a "stand-up" cabin (as in the Beechcraft 1900D) this was not built.

	Czars, Inc
		No flight logs relative to the Fairchild were maintained by Czars; and 100% of the activity of the plane, according to witness Cheema, was conducted under the Part 135 certification of Grand Aire Express.
		At the subsequent Prehearing Conference held in March, 1995, Czars sought from the Tribunal, and was granted, permission to amend the petition to include a claim of exemption under the amended statute.

		From the Merlin I Swearingen developed the turboprop powered II and III which were to form the basis of the new Metro commuter airliner.
		The Metro was Swearingen's first complete inhouse design and development work began in the late 1960s, resulting in the SA226TC Metro's first flight on August 26 1969.
		In 1996 Fairchild studied (but did not proceed with) a Metro with a significantly higher fuselage allowing stand-up headroom (in the style of the Raytheon Beech 1900D).

		And today, the board recommended that Transport Canada, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and Fairchild explore options to equip the aircraft with a brake pressure indicator for each main-wheel brake system.
		Transport Canada has required changes to brake master cylinders on all Fairchild/Swearingen Metroliner II aircraft to relieve pressure and thus prevent overheating.
		Propair was also instructed to drain and purge the main hydraulic and brake system reservoirs, and refill them with the recommended fluid.
