Drunk Pilot Stopped Before Takeoff by ATC / ATC Recording #aviation

He had to fly because he couldn't walk, what's the problem? 🤣

Good Call ATC

He sounds like he's either north of 20k feet without oxygen, or drunk. His taxiing narrows the set of likely possibilities.

Lucky the effects of alcohol only increase with altitude

I've seen the clip before but not the law enforcement conclusion. Holy hell.

Damn, how did he even manage to make it into the airport? 😂

There's a runway 420 joke that I'm unable to access at this time 😂

There’s no such thing as a runway 380…

Lol, Broomfield Colorado... Colorado becoming the new Florida?

Can you live to tell about it if you’re 5x above the legal limit? Isn’t that overdose territory?

If it's Denzel Washington, leave him alone. He flys better that way!

Good save! What a dope!

Doesn't the rest of the flight crew have authority to stop the pilot if he is this far gone before stepping into that flying seat?

was that drunk pilot?

He sounds like he's a zombie on drugs.

Really, does anyone have a 380? Lol

交信の感じからかなりの量のアルコールが入っているようだが、よくこんなに酔った状態で飛ぼうと思ったな。

“Runway 3 8 is fine”

“Yeeea, runway 3 8, 3 9, whatever it takes.”

This guy flys in 720* World.

Int he immortal lyrics of Harry Chapin: I go flying so high when I'm stoned

His BAC was evidently 0.4?

The pilot is Drunk!!

Is he drunk? Or just stupid?

What’s more, 5 times the legal limit for a DRIVER in Colorado would be 10 times the legal limit for a PILOT as the BAC cannot exceed 0.04.

"Can't get done for drink driving if my wheels are off the ground!"

I thought Ryanair required pilots to be at least this drunk prior to takeoff? Maybe it’s landing.

"Wassuh probem ociffer?"😅

I'm glad they had that post at the end, because he immediately sounded zooted. I would have stopped his ride as soon as he came on the comms

Wow, he sounds drunk as hell.

Is that true, he blew a .40 ?

Yeah, pretty sure that ATC saved many lives that day.

“I can fly lit gang”

Insane

الحمدلله باقي قبل يطير توقعته في الرجعه

One for the road, maybe. One for the runway, yeah, that ain't gonna fly, no pun intended.

This seems downright suicidal to me

That dude is trashed!!!!!

wow...

He should be banned from flying and put to jail

benefit of the doubt: hypoxia at 10 feet agl

I'm wondering if the copilot didn't noticed it or he was also drunk
..

He sounds like he's drunk..

The offered him a course for IFR, because with a IFR license you can as well fly when the is mist and you don't see anything..😂

Damn.😮

That also sounds like a small heart attack. Speech impairement and stuff.

Could you be drunker?

😂😂

Jeez, this is scary...

Un-friggin believable.

how the hell am I supposed to know the legal limit in Colorado, making me take out a calculator and research this shit just say his BAC was 0.4%

Got his license via DEI
