Pilots Convicted of Alcohol or Drug-Related Motor Vehicle Offenses or Subject to State Motor Vehicle Administrative Procedure

Certified Airmen are mandated to provide a written report of each alcohol or drug related motor vehicle action to the FAA, Civil Aviation Security Division (AMC-700), P.O. Box 25810, Oklahoma City, OK 73125, not later than 60 days after the motor vehicle action. The report must include: (1) The person's name, address, date of birth, and airman certificate number; (2) The type of violation that resulted in the conviction or the administrative action; (3) The date of the conviction or administrative action; (4) The State that holds the record of conviction or administrative action; and (5) A statement of whether the motor vehicle action resulted from the same incident or arose out of the same factual circumstances related to a previously reported motor vehicle action. The FAA collects this information to either address a potential drug or alcohol abuse problem or to take action against the certificates held by an airman displaying such a reckless disregard for laws and regulations which is incompatible with pilot certification. Pilots convicted of alcohol or drug related offenses present an increased safety risk and may not meet the medical standards contained in the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR). Pursuant to the FAA’s statutory authority noted above, the FAA considers that information related to any such conviction is necessary to properly determine the suitability of an individual applying for an airman medical certificate. Thus, the agency shares this information with Aviation Safety, the Office of Aerospace Medicine, Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) AAM-313, for their requirements to evaluate the qualifications of that airman to hold a medical certificate.
