1oz of Cocaine has a street value of $800 - $1,000

Fears Amongst Aircrew from AMAFears Amongst Aircrew from AMA

Aircrews are conscious of the fact that reporting to AMA for minor illness may result in stoppage of flying. This consciousness may become a phobia or fear complex so that they remain away from AMA for anything concerning their health. They reason to self-medication or report to unauthorized medical attendants or semi doctors/quacks for treatment and often get away with it.

Over the Counter DrugsOver the Counter Drugs

Whether medicine is prescribed by a doctor or is an over-the-counter medication that you have selected, as a pilot you must consider the effect it will have on your performance.

Underlying Medical ConditionUnderlying Medical Condition

There may be times, however, when you feel that you must fly and will be tempted to doctor yourself with OTCs. At these times it is good to remember that the OTCs only hide your symptoms for a while. They do not usually "cure" the condition, and you will not be at peak physical performance while you fly.

Possible unexpected side-effects Possible unexpected side-effects

These can take many forms, including drowsiness, impairment of judgment, upset stomach or bowels, disturbance of vision, or even itching. Any of these could cause an impairment that might lead to incapacitation while flying.

Possible unexpected side-effects cont’d.

Decongestants and caffeine (contained in coffee, tea, cola, chocolate) are both strong stimulants in some individuals. Mixed together, they can make you "hyperactive." Note also that some cough syrups contain a decongestant

Summary Advice Summary Advice

READ and follow label directions for use of medication.

If the label warns of side-effects, do not fly until twice the recommended dosing interval has passed. So, if the label says "take every 4-6 hours," then wait at least 12 hours to fly.

Remember, the condition you are treating may be as disqualifying as the medication.

When in doubt, ask your physician or Aviation Medical Examiner for advice.

Summary Advice cont’dSummary Advice cont’d

As a pilot, you are responsible for your own personal "pre-flight." Be wary of any illness that requires medicine to make you feel better.

If an illness is serious enough to require medication, it is also serious enough to prevent you from flying.

Do not fly if you have a cold - changes in atmospheric pressures with changes in altitude could cause serious ear and sinus problems.

Avoid mixing decongestants and caffeine.

Beware of medications that use alcohol as a base for the ingredients
