Maybe you could help me out here?
The SNA incident was investigated by the FAA and the appropriate measures were taken IAW the 8900.1 and the 2150.3C. Again, nothing called for revocation in that incident either.

So an engine failure in a single engine antique airplane, due to mechanical failure, is grounds for revocation? Sure about that? I looked all through the 2150.3C and couldn't find that. Also couldn't find it in the regulations (14 CFR and 49USC)

So when the engine quit he didn’t stall the aircraft in a panic and found an open spot on a golf course where he could put it down without hurting anyone on the ground or killing himself. I’d give him a fair on that one.
Landing on the taxiway.... not good, but that taxiway is also where he routinely landed his helicopter, so there was a habit pattern issue too. Not good, but he’s not the first. And he didn’t do it at night with a load of pax in back like a certain regional did at Pullman Wa a year or two ago. And that crew of two did not have the excuse that they often landed their helicopter there.

And at least he DID get it down without damage or hurting anyone on a paved surface. Not something a couple pilots at a regional flying into Presque Isle Maine can claim.

As for runway incursions, I guarantee they are underreported:

The OTHER FBO on the field where I used to CFI had a LOT of foreign students whose command of the English language was....well, they HAD no command of the English language. If the tower had actually reported every runway incursion these guys made, the above numbers would be bigger. It was at least a weekly event. I averaged a go-around (or heavy braking on the active) probably every three months my entire time as a CFI.
