Flying plane while drunk is no crime in Pennsylvania
Tuesday, May 18, 2004
By David B. Caruso, The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA -- Pilots too drunk to drive legally in Pennsylvania aren't necessarily risking prosecution if they take the controls of an airplane.
The state is one of only three in the nation without a law that makes it a crime for a pilot to fly while intoxicated.
Pilots risk Federal Aviation Administration sanctions, including the loss of their license, if they drink any amount of alcohol within eight hours of a flight, but the FAA doesn't have the authority ..........
CHEERS!
