Suicides with CFIG on board

Someone asked me about "uncooperative passengers."

As I learned it, if it's a temporary thing
(student during spin training holding the yoke
back in terror) then hand over his mouth and pinch his
nose. You'll get an uncontrolled release as he
reaches up.

For more determined "uncooperativeness," a chop to
the adams apple was once suggested. Of course this CFI
also brought a knife along on all his flights too.
Believe me, I never argued with him in the cockpit
