604guy,
The limit for a LAME is four times the crew limit.
In the case of blood, 80 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres cf 20 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres for crew.

FrequentSLF
0.05% means that one occurrence every 1000 flights (assuming 2 pilots) or 500 flights when a relief crew is on board...it sounds quite alarming
Do remember that the crew limit is set vanishingly low and, even if these figures are correct, they do not indicate skippers rolling aboard roaring "Single up to the bow spring; slow ahead!"
