  1. Under Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations, the governing rule is found in 14 CFR §120.37 and §91.17.

    Here are the precise requirements:

    FAA Alcohol Prohibitions for Pilots
    1. “8 Hours Bottle to Throttle” Rule
    • A pilot may not act (or attempt to act) as a crewmember of a civil aircraft within 8 hours after consuming any alcoholic beverage.
    • This is commonly summarized as the “8 hours bottle-to-throttle” rule.
    2. Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) Limit
    • A pilot may not operate an aircraft with a BAC of 0.04% or greater (half the legal driving limit in most U.S. states).
    • Even if more than 8 hours have passed, exceeding this threshold is a violation.
    3. “Under the Influence” Clause
    • A pilot may not act as a crewmember if under the influence of alcohol or if using any drug that impairs faculties, even if BAC is below 0.04%.
    • This provides a catch-all: impairment at any measurable level may still be disqualifying.
    4. Refusal of Testing
    • Refusal to submit to an FAA-or law enforcementrequested alcohol test is treated the same as failing the test.

    Practical Standard Used by Airlines
    • Many commercial airlines impose stricter internal policies than the FAA minimums.
    • Example: Some carriers require 12 hours bottle-to-throttle to ensure compliance and allow for metabolic clearance.
    • This “12-hour rule” is an airline policy, not an FAA regulation, but it is widely enforced to reduce liability.

    ✅ Summary:
    By FAA regulation, a pilot must wait at least 8 hours after drinking alcohol before flying, must never fly with a BAC ≥0.04%, and must not be under the influence at any level. Airlines often extend this to 12 hours as a stricter safeguard.

  2. This It's only one of the reasons why I haven't flown in 40 years. And will never fly again. I only travel via modes over which I control. Same mindset can be applied to maintenance of the mode of transportation. If I could build a vehicle, same goes.

  3. This is as assine as it is dangerous. The government use to send pilots up on speed, dexatrom. The redneck army is the worst in America. If the man is legally drunk. Ok. But after the N Dakota mess, I never think we would see it again.

  4. Those tests are unreliable and should never be used. It's always at the cops discretion that if someone passes or fails. Even if they pass with flying colors, the cops can still say the person is under the influence and then arrest them.
