Oh, my. A private aircraft flight, not involving terrorism?

A private aircraft is not special in this respect.

A federal criminal statute may exist, so if so, please cite it for
us, to prove you know how to research and understand the law.

49 USC 46504 defines interference with the flight crew of an aircraft
as a felony (maximum of 20 years, unless a weapon is involved, in
which case the maximum is life).

49 USC 46318 provides a civil penalty for similar actions.

49 USC 46502 defines exercising control of an aircraft by force as a
felony (air piracy), here again it's 20 years maximum, or
life/execution if a death occurs.

Cite two numbers with "USC" in the middle.

Done.
