At this time of year when opportunities abound for celebration and consumption of holiday “cheer”, I thought it would be helpful to re-visit the obligations of an airman who is arrested for driving-while-intoxicated (“DWI”)(this would include similar charges such as driving-under-the-influence (“DUI”) and operating-while-intoxicated (“OWI”)). If an airman finds himself or herself in the unfortunate position of being arrested for DWI, he or she should know that FAR 61.15(e) imposes certain reporting requirments on airmen. For more information regarding these requirements, you can read my new article on the topic here.
