You are still ignoring the bold statement under the chart telling you to subtract .015 each hour. I guess you never learned how to calculate takeoff and landing distances properly since you can’t simply use the number on the chart, you have to “Grass Runway, Dry - Add 20% to ground roll distance.”, etc
That's a strange thing to say, given that he has quit drinking.
grind grind grind the axe......
You said it was *your* last post. Not mine.
You keep trying to make it about people flying impaired, even though I've clarified several times that we aren't talking about pilots flying impaired. We *all* agree that's a flight risk and well within the purview of the FAA.
What *I* am saying is that flying impaired should be the extent of the FAA's concern. If the alcoholic pilot (or non-alcoholic, for that matter. One doesn't have to be an alcoholic to be regularly drinking and developing a tolerance) is sober at the stick, then the FAA shouldn't care what they do with their time outside the cockpit.
Given that no one, in nine page of posts, has been able to demonstrate a safety risk to an alcohol tolerant pilot flying an airplane while sober, it seems clear that there isn't one. So, we're left with the FAA being puritanical and grunting "alcohol bad" while ignoring other risky behaviours by pilots that could effect their health, but also don't pose a flight safety risk.
You CAN get such. I have done that more that a handful of times!
I misread or trusted an untrustworthy site, that post was incorrectThis is definitely one of the dumbest things I've read on here. Given your laughable lack of understanding of the basic maths of alcohol, the self-righteous rubbish you've been spewing about drinking becomes all the more absurd
Since we're expressing ourselves with memes, I'll add my summary of this thread.
Sure, that'll work.
You guys are making a great point. There's a lot of push these days for inclusion, and recognizing people's differences and life choices. Colored ribbons and buttons and all that stuff. So if someone it going to start a campaign to addresses FAA's rules on alcohol, maybe give it a catchy phrase, like "drunks are people too!". I would suggest a ribbon that swerves a little bit, like a wiggly double yellow line. Advance the argument that we figure they'll be pretty good at making judgements on when and when not to fly, based on their current level of ability, based on all that scientific evidence that points to the overall responsibility of functional alcoholics.
Then maybe in a few years, passengers will sometimes hear "Is there a sober person on the aircraft? We need someone to blow into this little plastic tube so we can start the plane."
So when I have no alcohol in my blood, I'm still intoxicated because I have a tolerance to alcohol? I don't think that's how it works.
You seem to be conflating tolerance and dependence. Tolerance doesn't cause withdrawal.

According to the Ninth Amendment, the fact that something is not enumerated in the Constitution does not prove that it isn't a right.
