Fun fact: Pilots can have a non-zero BAC (I think .04). So they could have it while on duty too if it’s not a double!
- andrewmunsell 3y agoYou are technically correct about the BAC, but they definitely cannot have one while "on duty", there's an 8 hour limit between your last drink and flying and some airlines have longer time windows by policy https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/14/91.17 https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/14/91.17
- eastbound 3y ago8 hour limit + 0.04 = They can drink a lot the day before, but they have to aim pretty well…
- intune 3y agoNot quite, there's also a rule that you can't operate an aircraft within 8 hours of consuming alcohol, aka. "8 hours bottle to throttle".
