Pre-takeoff checklist
No, i'm not saying hi to my friend who's name is Jack.
This may be a touchy subject but I feel it has great importance for general discussion among GA Pilots. lets say for a given variety of a situation, You are an average aged pilot with a PPL. You take a passenger with you who you recently met, get up in the air, then trouble. (Seized controls or threats) Aside from the usual squawk code, what do YOU do? What about a threat on the ground to take you into the air?
I personally have heard a few things from pretending to fall ill to purposefully "failing" the engine to pretending to be a maintenance employee.
Small note, I have not found a thread like this so if one exists I don't mind moving it/deleting it.
