While flying at UND, you will be part of our drug and alcohol misuse prevention program. As in the aerospace industry, our goal is to use education and deterrence to maintain a safe training environment. The program is designed similar to mandatory drug and alcohol testing conducted in air carriers and air traffic control centers. Drug and alcohol testing will be done for several reasons. Tests can be ordered as an initial screening, directed at an individual based on their behavior, speech, odor or other characteristics, or be done as a result of an accident or incident.
All students participating in flight labs are subject to random drug and alcohol testing.
Positive tests will not only impact your flight status, but can severely impact your eligibility for a medical certificate. A complete description of the drug and alcohol program at the Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences is available for your review. Planning is essential with any college endeavor - especially with an aviation major.
