Section VII - SAFETY INFORMATION
Alcohol
Common sense and scientific evidence dictate that you must not fly as a crew member while under the
influence of alcohol. Alcohol, even in small amounts, produces (among other things):
• A dulling of critical judgement.
• A decreased sense of responsibility.
• Diminished skill reactions and coordination.
• Decreased speed and strength of muscular reflexes (even after one ounce of alcohol).
• Decreases in efficiency of eye movements during reading (after one ounce of alcohol).
• Increased frequency of errors (after one ounce of alcohol).
• Constriction of visual fields.
• Decreased ability to see under dim illuminations.
• Loss of efficiency of sense of touch.
• Decrease of memory and reasoning ability.
• Increased susceptibility to fatigue and decreased attention span.
• Decreased relevance of response.
• Increased self confidence with decreased insight into immediate capabilities.
Tests have shown that pilots commit major errors of judgment and procedure at blood alcohol levels
substantially less than the minimum legal levels of intoxication for most states. These tests further show
a continuation of impairment from alcohol up to as many as 14 hours after consumption, with no
appreciable diminution of impairment.
The body metabolizes ingested alcohol at a rate of about one-third of an ounce per hour. Even after the
body completely destroys a moderate amount of alcohol, a pilot can still be severely impaired for many
hours by hangover. The effects of alcohol on the body are magnified at altitudes, as 2 oz. of alcohol at
18,000 feet produce the same adverse effects as 6 oz. at sea level.
Federal Aviation Regulations have been amended to reflect the FAA’s growing concern with the effects
of alcohol impairment. 14 CFR 91 states:
Alcohol or Drugs
(a) No person may act or attempt to act as a crewmember of a civil aircraft:
1. Within 8 hours after the consumption of any alcoholic beverage.
2. While under the influence of alcohol.
3. While using any drug that affects the person’s faculties in any way contrary to safety.
4. While having .04 percent by weight or more alcohol in the blood.
