Are you required to report that result to the FAA? If so, to whom and when?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Are you required to report that result to the FAA? If so, to whom and when?

Yes, you are.

2. If so, to whom and when?

A written report must be submitted with an alcohol and/or drug related MVA to initiate a preliminary investigation to ensure your report was within the required 60-day time frame and there are no other reportable actions.

Explanation:

1. You must report alcohol and/or drug related administrative actions, whether a conviction took place or not. Arrests, administrative actions and convictions are also reportable under Part 67, the airman application for a medical certificate, under the 14 CFR Part 61.

2.  Arrests, administrative actions and convictions are also reportable under Part 67, the airman application for a medical certificate. You have 60 days from the effective date of the administrative action (driver license, suspension, revocation, or cancellation) or conviction. FAA Form 8500-8 "Application for Airmen Medical" is an express consent provision which authorizes the National Driver Register (NDR) to release information about driving records to FAA. Information on the NDR record contains pointers to states that keep a driving history on everyone. FAA will obtain applicable records to determine if you have a reportable alcohol and/or drug related MVA.
