Final answer:

The statement 'All driver's license suspensions are "motor vehicle actions" as defined in FAR 61.15' is false. FAR 61.15 refers specifically to actions related to substance abuse, such as DUIs or refusals to take substance-related tests. Other types of license suspensions not related to these issues do not fall under the regulation's definition of 'motor vehicle actions'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to verify a statement related to the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 61.15, which pertains to the aviation industry, more specifically to aeronautical licensing. The statement to be verified is: All driver's license suspensions are "motor vehicle actions" as defined in FAR 61.15.

The answer to this question is B. False. According to FAR 61.15, not all driver's license suspensions are considered "motor vehicle actions." This regulation defines "motor vehicle actions" as actions such as convictions for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, refusal to take a test for alcohol content in the blood, and suspensions related to drug or alcohol offenses. Other types of suspensions not related to substance abuse may not qualify as "motor vehicle actions" under this regulation.

Furthermore, FAR 61.15 specifically requires that airmen report motor vehicle actions related to alcohol or drug offenses to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Failure to report such instances can result in penalties, including suspension or revocation of the airman's certificate. Therefore, it's important for individuals holding pilot licenses to understand the implications of their actions, both on the ground and in the air, and how those actions may affect their piloting privileges.

In summary, while some driver's license suspensions are indeed considered "motor vehicle actions" under FAR 61.15, it is not accurate to assume that this applies to all types of driver's license suspensions. Those related specifically to substance abuse problems are included in the FAR 61.15 definition.
