I think it will be zero alcohol for flying but the automobile limit used be .08 in the Territory but may now be .05 to conform with a national standard.
There is no mention as to whether any other type of drug was tested for???

Machines may be used more for general property maintenance duties but I cling to a hope that most of the pilots are still the steely eyed professionals that boys dream about being one day.
But, there are plenty who make the newspapers from time to time, or the TV.

Why one was seen last sunday night on a popular current affairs program dragging a crocodile across a swamp with a grappling hook attached to a not very long line under a R44.

The pilot was later seen doing a "Steve Irwin' and scruffing more crocs from off a boat into the water. Maybe he will make hard copy soon??
