Feeling unwell at airport? Crew can now skip breath test & not fly

A senior official said now “if any crew member/ student pilot, after reaching the airport, feels that he/she is unable to discharge his flying duties safely due to sickness, the crew member will intimate his company and in such case the breath-analyser (BA) test shall not be conducted and same will not be considered as missed BA. However, the crew member/ student pilot shall not be rostered for flying duties on that day and subsequently shall be rostered for flying duties after review by the company doctor.”
