Seriously, I believe the current FAA rule is either 24 or 48 hours from bottle to throttle.
The 2004 AMA rule reads: "I will not consume alcoholic beverages prior to, nor during, participation in any model
operations."
The 2005 AMA rule proposed to the LMs reads: I will not operate my model aircraft within eight (8) hours of having consumed alcohol, while under the influence of alcohol, or while using any drug that adversely affects safety.
Neither will be the final rule for 2005.
The question is how should the rule read in the futrure... 2006 and beyond. This has turned into a discussion of the appropriateness of alcohol, instead. I thought Gordon made some good suggestions. Does anyone have an other suggestions/modifications as to the wording?
