Question

. Mike, an FAA-licensed mechanic, has had his state driver's license suspended for driving under the influence of alcohol. Under FAR 61.15, he must report this as a motor vehicle action.

A. True.
B. False.

Answer 1

True, under FAR 61.15 Mike must report his driver's license suspension for a DUI as it is a reportable motor vehicle action. Airmen are required to notify the FAA's Security and Hazardous Materials Safety Office of such incidents within 60 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

​True. ​According to ​FAR 61.15, ​Mike, an FAA-licensed mechanic, must indeed report a motor vehicle action such as a suspension of his driver's license for driving under the influence of alcohol. This is because the regulations require that any airman, which includes mechanics, report any motor vehicle action involving alcohol or drug offenses to the FAA. Failure to report such actions can lead to the denial, suspension, or revocation of the airman's certificate.

FAR 61.15 clearly states that airmen must provide a written report of each motor vehicle action to the FAA's Security and Hazardous Materials Safety Office within 60 days of the actual motor vehicle action. Since their driver's license suspension is due to an alcohol-related offense, it falls within the scope of what needs to be reported according to these regulations.
