Every week you sit is a week you do not get paid
A DOT drug or alcohol violation can immediately affect your ability to perform safety sensitive aviation duties. Whether you are a pilot, flight attendant, aircraft mechanic, air traffic controller, or another FAA regulated employee, returning to work requires completing the appropriate SAP process.
Here is what that one word is actually costing you.
Your Aviation Career Is Grounded Until You Complete the Required Steps
A drug or alcohol violation can prevent you from performing FAA-regulated safety-sensitive functions. That may mean no flying, aircraft maintenance, air traffic control duties, or other covered work. A DOT-qualified Substance Abuse Professional evaluates your situation, provides the required recommendations, and conducts the follow-up evaluation after you complete those recommendations. Completing these steps is the only way to become eligible to move forward in the return to duty process.
Your Safety Sensitive Duties Are On Hold
Once an FAA regulated employee has a verified drug or alcohol violation, they cannot continue performing covered safety sensitive duties until the required return to duty process is completed. That can mean being removed from flying, aircraft maintenance, air traffic control, cabin safety, or other regulated functions. Delaying the SAP process can extend the amount of time you remain unable to perform those duties.
Changing Employers Does Not Erase The Violation
An FAA drug or alcohol violation does not simply disappear because you leave an employer or apply somewhere else. Aviation employers have responsibilities to obtain required drug and alcohol testing information before allowing an employee to perform covered safety sensitive functions. Until the applicable return to duty requirements are completed, the violation can continue to affect your eligibility for safety sensitive aviation work.
Your Record Can Follow You To Your Next Aviation Employer
Moving to another airline, repair station, operator, or aviation employer does not reset the process. Required drug and alcohol testing records may be reviewed before you are permitted to perform FAA regulated safety sensitive duties. Completing the SAP and return to duty requirements is the path toward becoming eligible to resume covered work.

The five steps from prohibited to driving
Reset Road handles steps 1 through 3. Steps 4 and 5 run through your employer, and we tell you exactly what to ask for so nothing stalls.
Initial evaluation
You meet your SAP over video. It runs about 60. Your SAP asks about your history, your test, and your circumstances, then determines what education or treatment you need.
Treatment or education
Your SAP writes a plan and gives you a list of qualified providers to choose from. Some drivers get an education course they can finish in a week. Others get a treatment program that runs longer.
SAP follow-up evaluation
When you finish your plan, you meet your SAP again. The SAP verifies you completed what was assigned, determines whether you are compliant, and if you are, sets your follow-up testing schedule.
Return-to-duty test
Once approved by your SAP, your FAA regulated employer arranges the return to duty test. After returning, you must complete the SAP prescribed follow up testing plan.
Follow-up testing schedule
Your SAP prescribes at least six unannounced tests in your first 12 months back on the job, and can extend the schedule up to five years total. Your employer runs those tests and reports completion.

Nothing changes until you make the first call
The evaluation takes about 60 minutes. Most aviation professionals working with Reset Road finish the return-to-duty process in a week. Every week you wait is a week of missed income. Start the evaluation online, or pick up the phone and talk to a real SAP today.
