Summary
A pilot is under scrutiny for substance use after a recent flight incident. Initial screening results were non-negative, requiring further confirmatory testing. Samples have been sent for analysis, and a final report is currently awaited. Aviation medicine specialists note that therapeutic treatments can also trigger such results. This follows a previous incident involving another Air India pilot in April.
