[@zacharytaylor190]

Im a fixed wing tour and photo pilot, and I can say confidently that the boundries of acceptable handholds and controls are well briefed before any flight. Often on tours, I will climb the aircraft to a suitible altitide, in a suitible area, and allow the passenger to have a level of flight control experience. This is ALWAYS done following an exchange of controls breifing, cockpit orientation, mockup control exhange, control demonstration on the ground and in the air, and then only if the passenger feels comfortable. During this, I am hovering the yoke, and still have the throttle and rudder while monitoring airspeed and attitide followjng a thorough traffic check via radio and visual. If it any point the passmger does something unsafe, I say "I Have Controls" firmly, and the passenher is required to place their hands on their shoulder harness. If this doesnt happen, despite all the breifings, then it should be known that the Pilot in Command is authorized to ise any means necessary make the person unlawfully interfereing stop doing so. Allowable means cpuld be anything from "LET GO OF THE FUCKING CONTROLS" to another passenger reatrining the threat, all the way to physically incapacitating the threat. To be clear, a person who is interfereing with the controls of an airplane against the PiCs wishes is legally considered an aircraft hijacker, and must be delt with accordingly. This is also made clear in the breifing.

Pilot yelling over a radio in a loud helicopter while touching the lever, probably saying “Don’t pull this lever”, the girl thinking the pilot was letting her do something for memories probably thought he said “Pull this lever”. Obviously the pilot didn’t bother to give a proper briefing before take off.

[@bigneutron77]

Why it look like she wearing a human glove

[@le-moons]

Do you touch the car gear/selector when someone else is driving? No. So why would you try to do it with something you dont even know what it does?

[@minimaniacjr226]

If I had to guess she probably thought it was just something you can hold on to to brace yourself like those handles above car doors but idk

[@Kimscrazylife]

Helicopter pilot here, why is it everyone is assuming that if she was to pull the brake the rotors would stop immediately and the helicopter would fall out of the sky. If she pulled it, all it would do is disengage the engine and the pilot would auto rotate down safely, kind of like putting a car in neutral and letting it coast. The only problem is it can’t be disengaged in flight so you have to land to reengage the transmission.

I could almost hear the song "Dumb ways to Die"! 🤣🤣🤣

[@Kiama17]

Is better if it was on the left on the pilot for safety reasons

[@JulianLikesPlanes]

helicopter pilots usually sit at the right.

[@Kiama17]

@@JulianLikesPlanes i mean out of reach of possibly intoxicated passenger or who knows what they could be on. I am not sure if passenger are allowed to drink before boarding a helicopter. I wouldn't be surprised if she had something to drink to just reach like that for critical instruments.

[@JulianLikesPlanes]

@@Kiama17 well she's not supposed to sit there it's on her the pilot most likely told her not to touch anything if she's gonna sit up there

[@ieataviationgradefuelusedonthe]

@@JulianLikesPlanes yeah I didn’t really know why that girl was on the flight decl

I'm a helo pilot... if she did pull the lever the pilot could quickly slap it off and the blades would still be spinning.. it doesn't stop the blades instantly from low rotor speeds... if the speed reduced enough you would pitch down, reduce collective.. what for rotor rpm to get back up as he uses to speed to prevent a crash.. before putting collective up and pulling up hard to get get it away from the ground

As a member of the C.A.P. this is mildly infuriating especially because this almost happened to my helicopter after a search snd rescue.

[@justlucky8254]

Im amazed something like that isnt automatically locked out when the rotors spinning, or at least while spinning at speed.

[@pupperTy928]

The pilot got sooo mad. Can’t blame him

[@patricia_seraphine]

Yeah, I would be mad if the tourist pulled the lever without asking what it is and what it functions in the helicopter, that cost our life. What a risky and dumb move she make

[@PrinceAlhorian]

He was chilled compared to what would have happened on my ship (yes, some pilots call their aircraft ships).

[@lilmootncj]

She was trying to speed run death 💀 What kinda intrusive thoughts were running through her mind, though? Seriously, would’ve been a dumb move.

[@Racstacko]

Seriously dumb for real not defending her but I think she thought it was just a handle to hang onto like cars have above the door

[@Exaso]

​@@Racstacko its an helicopter why would you need a handle and also it doesnt look like a handle, it looks like a lever.

[@Racstacko]

@@Exaso that’s your opinion. I can see why someone who’s frightened could think that’s a handle

[@xJAWAx]

I feel like if you're in that seat, they should give you a strong warning before flying

[@nunya8903]

My momma always told me if it’s not mine don’t touch it. Smfh. The entitlement

[@ClamorDiGilgamesh]

I wonder if she thought he was motioning for her to hold onto it when he pushed on it. If you've never been in a helicopter you might think its a handle. They should make it mandatory to explain these things to everyone before flight.

[@I0Ruthless0I]

That's what it looks like to me. Could have easily been confused for a handle. It's the pilot or company's fault for letting her not only sit so close to the controls but also not explaining to her to not touch the literal emergency brake

[@anotherguy9402]

They should make it mandatory to teach these young bafoons the negative consequences of to much bureaucracy 😂 All our problems actually originate from one source....degeneracy. If we maintained the higher moral standards of the 1960's our societal problems would probably be 1/3 to 1/4 of what they are today 😢 Each new dumb generation says "things are different now we don't have to act like that, that's in the past" as if human nature evolves with societal changes 😂😂😂

I’m sure he gave a safety speech before takeoff about not touching ANYTHING!!
