Section 6-11 Abuse of medication etc
No person may perform duties on board an aircraft when under the influence of alcohol (not
sober) or other intoxicating or narcotic substance or if they are unfit to perform their duties in
a satisfactory manner as a result of sickness, medication, fatigue or other similar cause. The
prohibition extends to consumption of alcohol within 8 hours prior to the initiation of said
duties. Persons serving on an aircraft may not have a blood alcohol concentration in excess of 0.02 percent. Misjudgement regarding the strength of the alcohol concentration shall not exempt a person from punishment.
A person who has performed duties on an aircraft must not drink alcohol or take any other intoxicating or narcotic substance during the first six hours after such duty, if he understands or ought to understand that a police investigation may be initiated concerning his behaviour on duty. This prohibition shall not apply once the police have allowed a doctor to take blood samples or
have decided that blood samples shall not be taken
.
If there is reason to believe that a person has violated the provisions of the first or second
paragraph, the police may present him for examination by a doctor, who may take blood samples. The relevant ministry will issue further rules concerning medical examinations and all matters related thereto
