Book Description
During the years 1975-1981, more than 10 percent of the toxicological tests on deceased pilots were positive for alcohol. However, no pilot of a U.S. certificated air carrier operated under 14 CFR 121 was found to have a positive alcohol test since at least 1964. Toxicological tests were positive for alcohol in 6.4 percent of the tests taken from fatally injured scheduled 14 CFR 135 (commuter) pilots and in 7.4 percent of fatally injured pilots in nonscheduled 14 CFR 135 (on demand air taxi) operations. In general aviation, 10.5 percent of toxicological tests on fatally injured pilots were positive for alcohol. The extent to which alcohol is involved in nonfatal accidents is not known because there is no Federal authority to test surviving pilots for alcohol. Positive toxicological tests were obtained from pilots of all certificate levels and all levels of flight-time, indicating that experience cannot and does not compensate for the performance degradation caused by alcohol.
