A buddy of mine(I know what you're thinking, and no, not me)that I used to fly with got a DUI a few weeks ago and was wondering how long he has to notify the feds. He thought he could write it down on his next medical app., but I told him no that doesn't sound right. Anybody out there know?
this is my educated guess, I have never delt with this but here goes....
In my FOM (flight Ops. Manual) basically a 121 pilots FARs, It doesn't say anything about reporting a DUI. I does contain language about reporting stuff where the FAA takes or suspends your ticket. Basically if the feds take or suspend your ticket you need to report it the the chief pilot, duh.
Now from what I remember back when I was getting my ratings.....
If I recall correctly sometime durring the comm or ppl training we learned that you have to report the DUI (like it was stated in an above post) but on the first offence the FAA just gives a warning or letter and neither suspends or takes the license. Action is only taken on second or recurring offence.
Therefore, if they don't take or suspend anything you don't need to tell your CP about it.
If you are ALPA in this case you may want to discreatly talk to your MEC rep. but like I said, If the feds don't take action in the form of revoking or suspension then the company doesn't need to know.
