SACAA rules for the use of alcohol for GE's

[four engine jock]

I would like to know if there are SACAA rules governing the use of alcohol for Ground Engineers in South Africa.

[XHERCY]

I believe it's 8 hours between bottle and spanner, It used to be 12 hours but have heard it's been reduced

[Little One]

WRONG

see itis one of the regs that was never changed back to 8.

Civil Aviation Regulation 66.01.7
