In this episode you will learn:

- Part 107 remote pilots must follow the same strict alcohol and drug rules as manned aircraft pilots, as specified in 14 CFR §91.17.

- You must satisfy three separate alcohol rules: no flying within 8 hours of consumption, a blood alcohol level below 0.04%, and not being under the influence.

- Any drug, including common over-the-counter medications like cold remedies with antihistamines, that affects your abilities in any way contrary to safety is prohibited.

- The responsibility to determine if a medication is safe for flight rests solely with the pilot, as the FAA does not provide a definitive list of approved drugs.

- Use the 'IMSAFE' mnemonic (Illness, Medication, Stress, Alcohol, Fatigue, Emotion) as a personal pre-flight checklist to assess your fitness to fly.
