Listen now
Description
In this installment of The Corporate Pilot Guy's Podcast, I delve into another segment of aviation that increases safety through prevention by talking to a pilot who was pulled over and arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. The guest for this episode is Mac and he shares his experience getting a DUI, possible jail time, court, impact on his family, and losing his FAA medical. Mac was in the process of becoming a professional pilot and had completed up to his commercial pilot's certificate. When he had the DUI, his dreams of becoming a professional pilot were put on hold indefinitely, and possibly forever. The process to get an FAA medical after having a DUI arrest is difficult beyond having a medical exam by a HIMS Aviation Medical Examiner. Mac details the process of getting his medical back, cost involved in getting a DUI, and how the DUI changed his life. This episode is meant to share one person's experience from making a bad decision involving alcohol and driving. Second, to aid in the prevention of making the decision to drive while drunk. Thank you to Mac for sharing his story to help others.
