| Abstract | Biological specimens from pilots fatally injured in civil aviation accidents are analyzed for ethanol and drugs at the Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI). Prevalence of these substances in the pilots has been evaluated on 5-yr intervals since 1989. In continuation, a fifth 5-yr study was conducted. The CAMI toxicology/medical certification and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) aviation accident databases were searched. |
