Suzirider 737 Report post Posted December 9, 2009 Under British law, a pilot blowing .02 before a flight gets arrested. (average man downing half glass of beer) FAA says.04 is the limt. According to my pilot manual: "about 3 hours for the affects of 1 ounce of alcohol to wear off " "require that a pilot allow 8 hrs between the consumption of alcohol and piloting a plane" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
