新航机师酒测未过导致墨尔本-威灵顿班机取消
简单说,9/15 新航SQ947 Singapore-Melbourne-Wellington(WLG) 在墨尔本停留后,
准备要飞往WLG 之前,在澳洲民航安全局(CASA)的随机抽检下, 机长的酒测未过
(确切数据不知),机长马上被CASA 禁止继续执勤,等待进一步调查(应该是抽血吧).
另一篇报导提到说新航发言人说,
Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) had conducted a random
drug and alcohol test on all crew members before the flight, and the pilot
"did not pass the test due to having higher than suitable blood alcohol
limit", said an SIA spokesperson in response to Channel NewsAsia's queries.

总之这导致了SQ247/248 后续的MEL-WLG-MEL 被迫取消.
机长好像已被叫回新加坡准备接受详尽的调查.
根据媒体的报导,各国对机师执勤前禁止饮酒的时间各有不同规定.
美国/澳洲: 8 小时前
新加坡: 10 小时前
印度/日本: 12 小时前
新加坡航空称: 机组员平时并无酒精或药物的随机抽检.
然而根据新加坡法律, offenders 将会面临最高5年监牢 and/or 10万新币罚款

Singapore Airlines pilots not allowed to consume alcohol within 10 hours
of flight
17 Sep 2018 08:58PM (Updated: 17 Sep 2018 09:00PM)
SINGAPORE: Pilots with Singapore Airlines (SIA) are not allowed to consume
alcohol within 10 hours from their flight duty, and there are stiff penalties
set out in the Air Navigation Act if they are found to be under the influence
of any psychoactive substances.
“Our flight crew are prohibited from consuming alcohol within 10 hours from
their flight duty,” said an SIA spokesperson on Monday (Sep 17) in response
to Channel NewsAsia’s queries.
“As the safety of our customers and crew is of utmost importance, substance
or alcohol abuse will not be tolerated.”
The issue of alcohol consumption surfaced after an SIA pilot was suspended on
Saturday for failing a random alcohol test conducted by Australia’s Civil
Aviation Safety Authority. This resulted in the cancellation of flight SQ247
from Melbourne to Wellington.

On its part, SIA said it does not conduct random alcohol or substance tests.
“While no random alcohol or substance tests are conducted by Singapore
Airlines, our flight crew are required to undergo any drug and alcohol tests
by the relevant authorities,” said the spokesperson.
“In addition, our pilots also undergo a stringent medical check annually to
ensure that they are fit to operate an aircraft.”
Singapore’s Air Navigation Order states that pilots shall not fly if they
are under the influence of any psychoactive substance – including alcohol,
opioids and sedatives – which may render them unable to perform their duties
in a safe and proper manner.
Offenders face a jail term of up to five years, a maximum fine of S$100,000
or both, if convicted.
There is no international standard as to how long pilots should avoid alcohol
before they fly as it varies by territories and airlines.
While SIA’s rule is 10 hours, the “bottle to throttle” regulation is eight
hours for the US Federal Aviation Administration as well as Australia’s
Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
In India, pilots are not allowed to drink within 12 hours of a flight, as
with pilots from Japan Airlines.
