They might drop the joint.



A solid case of drug abuse?

What, no Mag-Lite to the bridge of the nose? That would work, too.


The Mag-Lite is used with immediate threats to my well-being.

And he wouldn't cold-cock the guy trying to get out of the plane?
Steven is slipping.


It's his life, if he truly wants to end it that is his right.

I'd be afraid of him breaking something on the way out.

It's not his "right" to cause trauma to you, to people on the ground, to
subject you to lost income and inconvenience during an FAA and/or police
investigation, etc. If he wants to end his life, he can damn well do it
at home.

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!"

Agreed, he has no right to harm anyone else or anyone else's 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.
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?

My bad. Forgot to look at the date of this troll.

My solution to all the above problems would be to shoot the passenger. If he
had drugs or cash, I would steal them.


I'll be really polite when flying with you! And not carry any cash...
