An FAA Los Angeles Center air traffic controller handling the flight of a Cessna 550 Citation on July 17, 2019, became concerned about the pilot's health after he began slurring his words and seemed unable to comply with her instructions. The controller's transmissions and those of the pilot were recorded by FAA and that recording provides a chilling narrative of how extreme alcohol intoxication can affect a pilot's skills and judgment. The flight departed Tri-Cities Airport (PSC) near Pasco, Washington, at 16:25 Pacific Standard Time (PST).
