Under what condition, if any, may a pilot allow a person who is obviously under the influence of intoxicating liquors or drugs to be carried aboard an aircraft?

A

Under no condition.

B

Only if a second pilot is aboard.

C

Only if the person is a medical patient under proper care or in an emergency.✓ Correct Answer

Explanation

14 CFR 91.17(b) says that, except in an emergency, no pilot may allow a person who appears to be intoxicated or under the influence of drugs to be carried, unless that person is a medical patient under proper care. A second pilot on board does not create an exception.
