The aircraft, a 1964 Mooney M20E registration N7828V, was at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport at Broomfield, Colorado; it’s still commonly referred to as Jeffco Airport (short for Jefferson County) although it changed its name in 2006

After the incident, The pilot taxied back to a hangar and got out to speak to the airport officers. When the sheriff arrived he immediately noted that the pilot’s eyes were red and watery and he was having difficulty standing, even though he apparently thought he was competent to fly. When he spoke, his speech was slurred and there was no missing the smell of alcohol on his breath.

The sheriff attempted a field sobriety test and then gave up and arrested the man.

Back at the station, the pilot completed a breathalyser test which gave a result of a .20 BAC or the equivalent of 200mg per 100ml ethanol in his blood.

Current FAA regulations prohibit pilots from having an alcohol concentration exceeding 0.04, half the legal limit for driving in the United States. Furthermore, pilots cannot consume alcohol within eight hours of duty. However, these are just minimum standards. The FAA recommends a complete 24-hour abstention before flights, warning that the effects of a hangover can be as impairing as intoxication. Airlines, too, have internal regulations, sometimes even stricter than those set by the FAA.

Both controllers were nominated for an Archie, the NATCA annual medal of safety award. You can listen to the radio exchange on this video.
