Flying isn't all fun as Don Pope and Dave Baker show by giving a plane its weekly bath. With the practice of smoking marijuana becom- ing more common along with more people wanting to legalize it, a staff member questioned Mark Lin- dell about the laws pertaining to pilots who are caught with marijuana. He remarked, Automatically his airmen, certifi- cate is suspended, sometimes for a year and other times forever. Don Pope added, Also he has to face the conse- quences ofthe federal and state laws. When asked if he thought marijuana would ever be legalized, Mark responded, Yes, the laws will lessen, but not for a long time. Eventually it will be legalized in small amounts. Where a pilot is involved, Mark stated, Never will the law permit flyers to fly under any intoxi- cation. Flying is very demanding and the respons- ibility is great today and will be greater in years to come. As to there being much ofa problem with flyers and drugs, Don commented, There hasn't been much about this in thenationalqstandards, but in the profession's standards there has. Asked whether the laws for drinking were the same as those for marijuana Don replied, The pi- lot can't drink eight hours before his flight time. Generally twenty-four hours is the custom, Mark added that there is no real problem of drinking with pilots. About the percentage of the total accidents at- tributed to drugs and drinking, Mark said, As many as fifty percent, three-fourths caused by al- cholol and the remainder by drugs. This reflects only on a minority of pilots even though it seems to be a bigger problem, Mark con- eluded.
