A 17-yr old driver might not necessarily
be unsafe, but put a few of them together in a car and it gets that way...
I would suggest mounting a video camera in the plane and let them know
that
the entire flight will be recorded and anything that is even slightly
unsafe
will be dealt with by way of serious punishment...

Gosh, why limit it to flying? Why not insist on video surveillance whenever
he's in a car, or for that matter any time he's with friends and might
engage in dangerous drug use or unprotected sex? Or better yet, be sure to
accompany him in person whenever he goes out. Preferably attached by a
handcuff, in case he tries to slip away. You can never be too careful with
17-year-olds.
