RegulationsQuestion 8 of 100
A remote pilot finishes two beers at a company lunch at 12:30 p.m. and is asked to fly a mapping mission that afternoon. Assuming the pilot feels completely normal, when is the earliest the pilot may act as remote pilot in command?
a.Immediately, since Part 107 has no alcohol timing rule
b.At 2:30 p.m., which is 2 hours after the last drink
c.At 4:30 p.m., which is 4 hours after the last drink
d.At 8:30 p.m., which is 8 hours after the last drink
Explanation
Correct answer: 8:30 p.m. Section 107.27 applies the §91.17 alcohol rules to remote pilots, prohibiting operation within 8 hours of consuming alcohol, with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.04 percent or more, or while under the influence. Feeling normal does not shorten the 8-hour window, and 2- or 4-hour intervals do not exist in the regulation.
