The pilot of XH9 attended hospital for their injuries. They were admitted on 2 January 2023 and discharged on 4 January 2023. Although the pilot reported consenting to testing for alcohol and other drugs (AOD) and bloods were taken, no AOD testing was conducted. The pilot of XH9 had a medical procedure planned for early 2023, and it was reported that this did not affect their ability to hold a class 1 aviation medical certificate at the time of the accident.
Just wondering why no AOD was conducted even after the pilot consented to testing, if I have a prang in my car and police attend I get tested irrespective. Not making any judgement but seems an incredible oversight.
