  • Title: Current role of alcohol as a factor in civil aircraft accidents.
    Author: Ryan LC, Mohler SR.
    Journal: Aviat Space Environ Med; 1979 Mar; 50(3):275-9. PubMed ID: 454329.
    Abstract:
    Ethyl alcohol continues as a serious adverse factor in general aviation flight safety. According to FAA figures, the level of alcohol-associated general aviation fatal accidents has remained relatively static at a 16% general level since 1969. A recent survey of the attitudes of pilots toward alcohol and flying reveals a lack of appreciation among one-third of the pilots concerning the adverse effects of alcohol on safe flight. A renewed pilot education program on alcohol and flight safety appears indicated.
