Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director's decision lacked a complete and accurate analysis.

Additionally, the petitioner improperly made a material change to their proposed endeavor in response to an RFE, shifting from being an employee pilot to owning a flight academy, which is not permissible.
