Dear Julia,
FAA Form 8500 asks in capital letters: 18. HAVE YOU EVER IN YOUR LIFE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH, HAD, OR DO YOU PRESENTLY HAVE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING? n. Substance dependence or failed a drug test ever, or substance abuse or use of illegal substance in the last 2 years. If the pilot in question checks this box "no" when he renews his medical, based what you have said in your message, he may be fined up to $250,000 or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both. Moreover, if he is involved in an aircraft accident and the insurance company finds out about this, it is likely that his policy will be void, and no claims will be paid. This is because insurance policies require that a pilot have a valid medical in order for the policy to be in effect. Falsification of form 8500 will certainly void his medical certificate. --Ted (Julia) wrote in message . com... I've been assigned the task of finding out the consequences of a private pilot who voluntarily checks into drug rehab for assistance beating a cocaine addiction. There have been no arrests, convictions or run-ins with the law of any kind. Could any of you direct me to the regs (DOT/FAA regs? - sorry, I forget which, as I haven't flown in years) or any other resources that definitively address this issue? I would like to have this info available when an intervention is conducted next week. Thanks, Julia Ambrose |
