Unfortunately, one of the drugs the PIC took lowers the alcohol tolerance. Thus, the level found could be quite critical.
I think it is interesting that the PIC had a valid medical with his underlying disease and the combination of drugs he took.

Hi Rory, but there lies the problem: how should an AME find out about this condition and about these drugs? This guy obviously did not mention his condition, nor the drugs he was taking. The standard tests that are done on our urine and blood do not look for these things. If you keep your mouth shut, you can continue like this until the illness has become so bad that you cannot hide it anymore.

Amazing - what the BFU report says - in 400 ft. the ceiling was 5/8 to 7/8 - don´t know what they where up to - having other Airports with better Met Reports in their reach... two Pilots - three opinions ?
idiotic ZÜP (check of reliability, a background check, only done in Germany).

ZÜP means ZuverlässigkeitsÜberPrüfung
Involves background check via every 3 letter institution Germany has...like
KraftfahrtBundesAmt - Federal Agency for Kraftfahrt (where your points on the driving licence are)
BundesKriminalAmt - equivalent of the FBI
BundesNachrichtenDienst - equivalent of the CIA
Regular Police back ground check....
I may have forgotten one or two agencies.
The procedure is to ask the LKA for the ZÜP, they start the whole process and after 4-6 weeks you get a pdf with your ZÜP.
If you hold a german licence and you´re not German, then you don´t need the ZÜP (I was told...dunno wether that is really the case)
