I hope he reported the DUI to the FAA when he got it. I was a student pilot and I was arrested for DUI. At that point I wasn't fully aware of having to report this to the FAA nor did my flight instructor advise me to do so. When I went to get a medical (after the DUI, and after becoming a private pilot) I did disclose this info on the medical form. Not too long after that I received a certified letter from the FAA. They basically said we are investigating you, you never reported this, your license may be suspended or revoked, etc... long story short, no revocation or suspension took place. But talk about a stressful time
