   I'm looking for some clarification on the situation I'm in and what I demand to do as I haven't found an exact answer yet. I was recently arrested for DUI (biggest mistake of my life and I take more learned my lesson) just was only convicted of reckless driving. My license was suspended in the country this occurred in for 6 months, but considering it was out of state for me, my drivers license hasn't been taken away yet, I only can't drive in that land. I currently take a student pilots certificate but volition likely be going for my private license shortly. So my questions are: do I need to report this to the FAA within 60 days? At that place was a DUI arrest but only a reckless driving conviction (class B misdemeanor) and I'thou only a educatee pilot, not a pilots license holder. Secondly: will whatsoever of this go in the mode of applying for a private license? The suspension is for 6 months but my home land hasn't washed anything nearly it so I can nevertheless bulldoze in all other 49 states, does this count as a "suspended" license if its simply that one state? My understanding was that you can't go for a license if your drivers license is suspended, but I'm not sure if this counts or if my license actually needs to exist taken away.

2. Your understandings are full of holes.

   Beginning off, the fact y'all have a pupil pilot doesn't get y'all out of anything. The rules say a "certificate issued nether this part" which includes pilot (including student) certificates and medical certificates.

   2d, 61.15(c)(two) is pretty articulate that fifty-fifty if you were suspended for a "moisture reckless," y'all must written report. Fifty-fifty if you weren't convicted.

   If you obey all the rules it won't prohibit you getting a PILOT CERTIFICATE. However, you may be in for some fun when you try to obtain/renew your medical certificate. How much depends on the circumstances of your charges: did you lot have a BAC test? What was information technology?

   Okay give thanks you for the answer and sorry for all the holes I'k very new to flying and am not familiar with all of this. BAC was 0.11

5. From reading your post it appears you do not have a total understanding of the legal proceedings yous were involved. You really need to consult an aviation attorney.

   61.15 requires y'all to study both confidence and suspensions arising out of a DUI violation. What they are addressing here is a state of affairs when the suspect refuses a chemical remainder and is found not guilty, but receives an implied consent break plus all convictions of DUI.

   If your pause is solely for reckless operation, in that location is no requirement to written report under 61.xv. Only without a professional review of the court tape, none of united states can suggest you.

6. As has been said: arrested for DUI: that's required to be reported. Doesn't matter if pleaded down to a wet reckless.

   Will a criminal background search bear witness whatever other alcohol related events? How well-nigh the certified DMV search in all states in which you have had licensure. This is omportant because this one questions determines how this will go.....even a small-scale in possession....

   Deplorable Doc, just you are not correct. 61.15 requires FAA notification inside threescore calendar days of the effective date of an alcohol and/or drug related conviction or administrative action. Likewise reporting is required on the medical course.

   Without having the court and BMV record there no way to determine if the suspension is booze related. Instance: Your state has a point organization intermission system. You have the maximum points and charged with speed and DUI. A jury finds you non guilty of DUI and guilty of speeding. The BMV suspends your license for the points. This is not a reportable alcohol law-breaking.

   Have the aforementioned scenario, simply yous refused the chemical test and received an
   Unsaid consent suspension.. this becomes a required written report. Some states that have an automatic 3 day break up a prohibited BAC (authoritative action prior to courtroom appearance) that makes this reportable.

   The driving records search will disclose any charges of DUI, any authoritative suspensions, and any DUI convictions.

   What this person does or doesn't accept to report cannot be answered without the records and knowledge of the laws of the country the violation occurred..

9. If you lot were arrested for DUI and bedevilled of something else, the FAA will see through the ruse and expect the reports. You try weaseling your way around the reg and you risk losing all your certificates. The FAA is serious nigh this, and understand that your certificate actions won't see any independent due process until at least ii rounds with (ahem) administrative actions. Even then, the Federal Court will defer to the FAA's estimation of their own regulations.

10. Dean, he said "I was arrested for DUI...my license was suspended in that state..." .....sure sounds like a DL suspension to me, and by THAT land. Information technology's merely a lack of automatic state to Fed reporting. I just dearest how pilots trip the light fantastic toe on the head of a pin and then howl when the get the 90 or 180 (if FAA finds out offset) interruption of their airplane pilot certificates...and if they think the omission was willful....revocation.

    He'll have to confront the music anyhow at his next medical...and when they discover the other state intermission (they will demand that state's paperwork) and find it unreported, 180 day intermission is about minimal.

    I would not be encouraging him to "dance on the caput of a pin" based on the advice of "SGOTI". The paperwork will reverberate "loss of Privileges" in that land, which pretty clearly is a DL break. And noncompliance with 61.fifteen, will unreported over several years.....that is revocation.

    Now at next medical, I suppose he could falsify that states' documents.....oh, but aren't the iv Delta guys educational activity united states of america, that that is the end? Now they're talking club FED.
