i certainly hope not

You cannot possibly be serious.

This is a joke, right?

You should not even be able to get a driver's license, much less a pilot's license.


floridag8ergirl
Is that even a serious question? You shouldn't even be allowed to board one!

I don't think you should be licensed to drive anything. Period.


Mickey.Slick

I don't know, but I humbly recommend you quit drinking. Ask yourself if drinking and legal troubles has made you life better.

Do you think that is such a good idea?


JUSTME
Doubtful, very doubtful.

With a record like yours, I don't think you should be allowed to drive a bicycle on the streets.

Sorry.

Good lord, I hope not.

6 times? That's practically impossible. Are you in prison right now? Many states send you to prison after three. And I would try to pick a different career or hobby if I were you. I don't see your pilot license attempts being very promising.

Also, you can't expunge DUI's.

I really do not think so........and you would be putting your life and others in danger........I would suggest that if you want a license and I do not mean Pilot.......get a License to Bar tend this is right up your ally!!!! lol

new mom made me laugh my @$$ off.

"Your worst nightmare as a pilot – a DUI. Will this end your career as a pilot? What if you are the lawyer representing a pilot? Is this a simple DUI case or will it end your law career with a malpractice lawsuit? I know these questions can light up your eyes to why a pilot is different when they get a DUI.

First, pilot or not, you have to follow your state laws. Keep in mind your time frame for appeals or administrative hearings. You could probably get your driver’s license back under an occupational license during your suspension. Even if its your first offense, you better be on your toes if you want to keep flying.

Second, pilots fall under another set of rules from the FAA. They are the FARS (Federal Aviation Regulations). Do you have to report to the FAA now or later? Can I just put it on my FAA First Class Medical Certificate? Can I just call the CFI (certified flight instructor) at the local FAA office FSDO (Flight Standards District Office)?

Your most important resource (lawyer or pilot) is Section 61.15 of the FARS. Section (e) states that you must report “not later than 60 days after the motor vehicle action”. It lists the things you must submit to the FAA, Civil Action Security Division in Oklahoma City, not your local FSDO. This is very serious as section (f) states “Failure to comply with paragraph (e) of this section is grounds for . . .(2) Suspension or revocation of any certificate, rating, or authorization issued under this part.”

In summary, what do you do? If you are convicted of a DUI/DWI, it must be reported on your medical application. You also have to notify the FAA in Oklahoma City within 60 days of the conviction. Do NOT contact the local FSDO, as this is NOT incompliance with the FARS. Do this quick or face a suspension for a non-reporting violation.

Drinking and Driving is bad. Drinking and flying is worse. Both can end careers, lives and marriages. They can even take innocent victims. Also, if you have two separate incidents within a 3-year period, then the FAA can deny an application or revoke/suspend a pilot’s license. You can avoid all of this by not drinking and driving.

LOL. I would hope not!

Ha, ha, this should be under the dumb and drunk section.

Hell no, would you want someone with that track record flying you around, or even flying over head near your house?

Only if you are an illegal alien, which you must be, or you would already be in prison.


RobertNeville
you have to have a clean record to even apply for a pilot program. NO you are not suitable for this position and it will not get granted

I would guess not, but I am unaware of FAA regulations. It may help to get your record expunged.

do u want some pot to while u are flying that way u feel safer? haha. Um no i wouldnt give u a flying liscense if u got a dui 6 times ARE U ******* CRAZY?


another ones taking off
this is the deal. ive looked enough i should know. if you want a ptivate pilots licsence, its yours, you can get whatever license you want. you can go on and get your instrument rating and your multi and commercial. then if youre really dedicated, your can get your atp too, and spend a billion bucks doing it. But. Will you get a job doing what you love doing so much.This would be the questionn - if i was gonna ask one. how can you explain to the airlines that you were just tooo young and dumb, and had no idea that what you did back then could posibly influence the way you get an intrveiw with anyone now? well for me, im just gonna buy a plane and deliver the mail, HA
