GM1 UAS.SPEC.060(1)(a) Responsibilities of the Remote Pilot

CAA ORS9 Decision No. 16

THE REMOTE PILOT SHALL NOT PERFORM DUTIES UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCES OR ALCOHOL

UAS Operators should propose procedures, including alcohol limits, within their OM. Although no limits currently exist in law, it is advised that UAS Operators make use of the current Railways and Transport Safety Act 2003 Section 93 limits, which are:

Level of alcohol	All UK nations
Micrograms per 100 millilitres of breath	9 µg
Micrograms per 100 millilitres of blood	20 µg
Micrograms per 100 millilitres of urine	27 µg

THE REMOTE PILOT SHALL NOT PERFORM DUTIES WHEN THEY ARE UNFIT TO PERFORM TASKS DUE TO INJURY, FATIGUE, MEDICATION, SICKNESS OR OTHER CAUSES

The medical requirements for operations within the Specific category will be set out in the OA. Normally, this will be achieved by reference to the medical requirements that have been set out by the UAS Operator in its OM, although in some cases, additional requirements may be expressed more precisely.

UAS Operators will be expected to propose details of their required medical standards through the risk assessment associated with the particular operation.
