Pilot Convicted of Flying Under the Influence
A U.S. District Court jury in Spokane, Wash., convicted commercial pilot Paul Roessler of flying an aircraft, reportedly a Piper Seneca, while under the influence of alcohol. Roessler was arrested following an April 2012 flight when air traffic controllers in the Seattle Air Route Traffic Control Center and Spokane Tower reported the pilot demonstrated some questionable behavior. In one incident, he failed to contact the center via radio during his flight and upon arrival in the terminal area lined up with the wrong runway. The Spokane Airport police administered a breathalyzer to Roessler, who blew a 0.109 alcohol concentration, more than twice the legal alcohol concentration limit of .04.

A forum Moderator MANFRED convicted dogfight pilot Pluribus of flying an aircraft, reportedly an Albratos DV, while under the influence of alcohol. Pluribus was kicked out of game on that day when he demonstrated some questionable behavior. In one incident, he failed to fly the plane from a German carrier after the carrier tower controller had cleared him for takeoff. He entered the runway and shut his engines, put parking brakes for fear of heavy battle, causing multiple runway incursions. Other incidents include reported multiple crashed due to failure to control his plane. The game moderator administered a breathalyser to Pluribus, who blew a 109.0 alcohol concentration, a thousand times more than the legal concentration limit of 0.109. (
