Which statement is true about Endeavor alcohol policy?

• A. There are no restrictions on alcohol consumption before duty.
• B. 12 hours, .02 BAC.
• C. 24 hours, .04 BAC.
• D. 6 hours, .01 BAC.

Answer: (B)

Crew safety hinges on being free of alcohol before duty. The standard is a minimum twelve-hour alcohol-free period prior to reporting for duty, with a maximum allowable BAC of 0.02 percent. This combination provides a clear, enforceable threshold that helps ensure pilots and crew are unimpaired and capable of performing duties safely. The twelve-hour buffer reflects typical metabolism times and creates a reliable safety margin, while the very low BAC limit prevents even mild impairment from affecting performance. Other options either relax the time or raise the BAC threshold, which could allow impairment and compromise safety, so they don’t align with the policy’s safety goals.
