SMAC312 Managing Traffic Stops as a Pilot
As a pilot who loves to fly, we try to protect our hobby through prudent planning, budgeting, and training. I often get asked questions about what to do when pulled over by the police to protect our pilot certificate. Should I take the sobriety test or not? To help me answer this question is Chris Pezalla from the Law Offices of Robert M. Strumor, LLC. Chris is an airline pilot and aviation attorney who has been a frequent guest on this and our sister podcast Aviation Careers Podcast. Before we begin a quick reminder that the new 2024 version of the scholarship guide has been published and is available by clicking on the scholarships guide on the right side of the screen at https://stuckmicavcast.com/ Cruise Flight: If I am pulled over and asked to take a sobriety test, what should I do? Be professional and truthful. Anything you say can end up in a police report. Always take the breathalyzer and blood tests. This advice is specific to pilots. Failing to get a BAC alcohol level recorded will cost you your medical certificate. Even if pleading guilty to the DUI, get a blood alcohol test. 14 C.F.R. § 61.15(e), which mandates that all Pilots, Flight Instructors, and Ground Instructors certified under FAR Part 61 to report any Motor Vehicle Action (MVA) related to drugs or alcohol to the FAA in writing within 60 calendar days. The 60-day period begins when your driver’s license is revoked. What is a roadside suspension? Can I wait until after my court case to file the 60-day report? (No) Considerations for Light Sport, BasicMed, and Class III medical. Reporting on your next (and all future medical applications).
