Private pilot with a Class 3 medical, flying for recreation only - not intending to become a commercial pilot.
I got a DUI in April, my BAC was .17. No prior arrests other than 2 speeding tickets 8-10 years ago. I just had court on Tuesday and entered a program which requires alcohol school from the DMV, a substance abuse evaluation/treatment if needed, license suspension for 2 months, and 6 months probation. After completing this my record will be expunged.
I need to make a report per CFR 61.15 since my license was suspended. I am assuming since my BAC was over .15, I will need to jump through some additional hoops. Any idea what additional information the FAA might want so I can get ahead of it? I've gotten a substance abuse evaluation from the DUI program at the court (last week) and another from a state licensed behavioral health provider (today). Both of these indicate "no treatment needed". Should I attach these with my report or wait and see if they request any additional documentation?
My medical is due for renewal 06/2015. What documentation from this incident should I be sure to keep around? I was thinking I should renew in January to leave 6 extra months deal with the FAA. However, I could wait until mid-April and that would put the DUI arrest 3 years in the past - does this make a difference?
Thank you for any advice.
