If you are the holder of a Pilot’s License, the consequences of an OUITitle 29-A §2411 conviction in Maine are serious, if not severe. The FAA imposes rigid reporting requirements, as one might imagine, due to the real threat to public safety involved in operating an aircraft in any impaired state. It should go without saying that one must never act as a pilot or crew member while under the influence of alcohol, within 8 hours of consuming alcohol, while using any drugs that affect one in any way contrary to safety, and so on,14 CFR 91.17(a) but even outside the operation of an aircraft, the FAA has an interest in any violation of the law that involves alcohol. . . .
