    If someone (PPL) had a drink driving conviction are they required under regulations to report it to the EASA?

    Why EASA? The IAA would be the obvious place to start. Although driving and flying licences aren't connected in any way. If it's a previous conviction it would have no effect, if it's current there'd be a problem.

    EASA simply because they are the licensing authority. FAA do have requirements for pilots to report it and just wondering if EASA do too. Flying and driving licenses aren't connected in the US either but under FAA regulations it is required to report it

    I cant see what drinking and driving has to do with flying. I dont see how a conviction affects a medical etc. Cant see what else it would effect.

    Come to think of it the insurers probably would need to know though. I think the aviation saying goes 8 hours bottle to throttle. I think cars should be the same:pac:

    I'd agree with you. If the individuals drinking does not relate to getting into the cockpit being over the limit or having had any alcohol then drink driving shouldn't relate to flying as it was not attached to actually flying when the incident occurred but I suppose we don't make the rules.

    Maybe insurers would need to know but again if the offence wasn't flying related I don't see how it bears any relevance either. Yep the 8 hours sounds right
