I doubt this was her only misstep.
This was probably the only one they could pin on her.

A 709 for taxiing into another airplane and “voluntary” surrender of her DPE after a hand propping accident.
So the bridge was strike 3.

They probably added fuel to the fire for the last one, which was obviously not an honest mistake.

Even more to the story:
https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/...nybK5xEcXhYkT0
From the article:
“The agency used a new section of its Legal Enforcement Actions guidebook for FAA staff, which calls for revocation of a certificate for “operating an aircraft without activated transponder or ADS-B Out transmission ... for purposes of evading detection.””
Could be bad timing, could be that she did it on purpose and is a liar. The only one who knows for sure is her, but the FAA certainly think they do too.
Sadly, I feel like it’s only a matter of time before ADS-B becomes/is used as a tool of control by the government. It’s the equivalent of a red light camera that you carry with you.

I even met a guy who told me that years ago he had his static system rigged so he could pump it up with a hand pump to give lower-than-actual mode C while doing traffic watch to make his job easier (he said he didn't cheat by much... )

It’s all in print - table of penalties. When you do it on purpose Compliance action goes out the window.
