What about marijuana?
In the NTSB's study, positive findings for illicit
drugs increased from 2.3 percent in the 1990 to 1997
period to 3.8 percent in the 2008 to 2012 period.
Marijuana was the most commonly cited illicit drug
with an increase from 1.6 percent in 1990 to 1997 to
3 percent in the 2008 to 2012 period - an increase of
almost double!
If you are a safety-sensitive employee, as defined
by the Department of Transportation, marijuana use
of any kind is a violation of drug policies, regardless
of your state laws related to medical or recreational
marijuana. Specifically, 14 CFR Part 120 defines
safety-sensitive functions and prohibits a person from
conducting those functions for a certificate holder,
including a Part 121, 135 or 145 certificate holder,
while having a prohibited drug including marijuana
in their system.

The DOT reiterated this prohibition in a 2017
notice about medical marijuana, stating, "It remains
unacceptable for any safety‐sensitive employee subject
to drug testing under the Department of Transportation's
drug testing regulations to use marijuana."
If your position is not considered to be safety
sensitive, your employer may still have policies
related to the use of medical or recreational
marijuana. Even if you are not technically prohibited
from using marijuana, you should consider the
potential impact on your job performance.
It seems every other commercial on TV is selling a
medication, and each of those commercials ends with
a long list of potential side effects and interactions.
Be sure you know the effects of medications on your
body, and use caution when conducting activities that
may result in injury to you or someone else or unsafe
work product. q

AVAILABLE NOW!

DUAL LPV/VNAV-CONVERTER
DESIGNED FOR EITHER SINGLE OR DUAL FMS/GPS
INSTALLATION - INCLUDES STC INSTALLATION OF
LPV AND AS REQUIRED GARMIN GTN RECEIVERS
FOR 525/525A (APPLICABLE SN)

 Enables GPS approaches
with vertical guidance
(LPV/VNAV)
 Creates distance
information derived from
GPS data available on EFIS
systems in ILS mode

The LPV Converter resolves the arising problem with LPV/VNAV-approach
that appears, when an aircraft is equipped with an EFIS system (e.g.
Honeywell SPZ5000 in Cessna 525 or Primus1000 in Cessna 550/560etc)
and a SBAS capable (WAAS/EGNOS) FMS/GPS with ARINC429 interface
Due to the missing glideslope feature of the EFIS, the LPV/VNAV
-Converter simulates an approach signal like an ILS (LOC/GS) to drive the
autopilot during a GPS approach with LNAV/LPV capability.
