# §93.333. Failure to comply with this subpart.

- (a) **Any violation.** The FAA may take civil enforcement action against a pilot for violations, whether inadvertent or intentional, including imposition of civil penalties and suspension or revocation of airmen's certificates.
- (b) **Knowing or willful violations.** The DC FRZ and DC SFRA were established for reasons of national security under the provisions of [49 U.S.C. 40103(b)(3)](/usc/49/40103.md?p=b-3). Areas established by the FAA under that authority constitute “national defense airspace” as that term is used in [49 U.S.C. 46307](/usc/49/46307.md). In addition to being subject to the provisions of [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section, persons who knowingly or willfully violate national defense airspace established pursuant to [49 U.S.C. 40103(b)(3)](/usc/49/40103.md?p=b-3) may be subject to criminal prosecution.
