Operator Alcohol and Drug Testing Programme

Read the official rule

The Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia outlines procedures for alcohol and drug testing of pilots to ensure safety in aviation. Pilots must undergo breath tests and drug tests when required, where failing a test can result in being deemed unfit to fly. An approved Alcohol and Drug Management Programme must be in place for operators, promoting education and support for crew members regarding substance use.

Key points

  • Pilots are subject to breath and drug tests to ensure flight safety.
  • Compliance with testing protocols is mandatory for crew members.
  • Operators must develop a management programme addressing alcohol and drug misuse.
