The Dangers of Pilot Intoxication

A drunk pilot can seriously endanger every passenger on the aircraft as well as threaten the safety of anyone nearby. Pilots are only supposed to captain planes when they are prepared to handle the responsibility of safely operating the aircraft. Failure to pay attention to basic safety laws regulating pilot intoxication can result in the following hazards:

  • Diminished reaction time
  • Inattentiveness or lack of focus
  • Compromised visual acuity
  • Ignoring safety procedures
  • Forgetting basic steps for take-off or landing

These dangers can lead to devastating crashes that may leave many people facing life-threatening injuries.
