Any person violating any of the provisions of this chapter or any of the rules, regulations or orders issued pursuant thereto, shall be punishable by a fine of not more than five hundred dollars ($500.00) or by imprisonment of more than six (6) months, or both.

For any violation of the provisions of this chapter, in addition to, or in lieu of, the penalties provided by the first paragraph of this section, or as a condition to the suspension of a sentence which may be imposed pursuant thereto, the court, in its discretion, may prohibit the violator from operating an aircraft within the state for such period as it may determine but not to exceed one year. Violation of the duly imposed prohibition of the court may be treated as a separate offense under this section or as a contempt of court. Upon a plea of guilty or conviction hereunder in any case involving a registrant, under the provisions of this chapter, the court shall cause a notation of such plea or conviction and of the sentence imposed to be marked upon the pilot certificate or other evidence of pilot registration or receipt provided by the commission under the provisions of this chapter and the court shall cause a copy of its order or sentence to be forwarded to the commission, the cost of furnishing same to be added as a part of cost in such cause. In no event shall this paragraph be construed as warrant for the court or any other agency or person to take away, impound, hold or mark any federal airman or aircraft certificate, permit, rating or license, or to take away, impound or hold any state registration certificate or other evidence of such registration.
