How would you handle a situation where a paying passenger began to manhandle the controls? I would manhandle the passenger. What would you do if a passenger keeps interrupting you during a single pilot IFR approach into a very busy airport? Disconnect his intercom. What would you do if your passengers lit up their marijuana in the back of a twin? Two possibilities come to mind: #1: Shout into the microphone as if I'm on the radio, "Mayday! Fire in the cockpit! We're all going to die!" #2: "I hear from the medical marijuana people that pot is good for supressing nausea. Let's see if that's really true." Yank. Bank. Repeat. What would you do if the passenger was so big they kept getting in the way of control travel? In the planes I fly, I would never get the W&B to work out. What would you do if your passenger decided to get out of the airplane while in flight? If it were any of the above passengers, I would smile and say, "have a nice flight!" |

These are all real and all have happened to me in my 45 years of flying. A lot more that I can't think of at the moment. A pilot was recently faced with it when an 84 year old man decided to unstrap and get out of the front cockpit of a biplane and plunged to his death. The pilot was unable to stop him. What would you do? |

Probably bop him in the nose to bring tears to his eyes if he persisted What would you do if a passenger keeps interrupting you during a single pilot IFR approach into a very busy airport? Ask nicely once to please be quiet as instructed in the preflight breifing. Then quit asking nicely. THen switch the intercom to "pilot" only. What would you do if your passengers lit up their marijuana in the back of a twin? Ask them if they brought enough for everyone. How did you handle it? What would you do if the passenger was so big they kept getting in the way of control travel? Slide his seat all the way back, and not try to fly where I needed that much control travel. Didnt you check freedom of control movement in your pre-takeoff checklist? This shouldnt have been an airborne surprise. What would you do if your passenger decided to get out of the airplane while in flight? Note the position very well, so they wouldnt have to wait two days for the buzzards to circle to find the body, like they did down in Houston last year. A former rocket scientist decided to try Skydiving sans chute like that last year. He didnt have cancer like the 84 year old did, he only was facing charges for stealing govt property. These are all real and all have happened to me in my 45 years of flying. A lot more that I can't think of at the moment.

What would you do? What COULD you do? Dave |

(Although, I doubt that any of my pax will be hitting the bar in the 172.) and I sure won't be knocking anyone out by reducing cabin pressure in the Maule. George Patterson This marriage is off to a shaky start. The groom just asked the band to play "Your cheatin' heart", and the bride just requested "Don't come home a'drinkin' with lovin' on your mind". |

Hope I had a video camera and sell it to One of those real video shows
on television? A pilot was recently faced with it when an 84 year old man decided to unstrap and get out of the front cockpit of a biplane and plunged to his death. The pilot was unable to stop him. What would you do? |
