AirSafe.com reviews the investigation into a January 2008 incident
where an Air Canada pilot became mentally incapacitated and had to
be removed from the cockpit. Once the first officer was removed,
the captain was able to safely land the aircraft. The event caused
some in the aviation community to question whether this kind of
incident may have led to serious problems in the past. While a
review of the available incident and accident record by AirSafe.com
revealed no proven cases of a mentally incapacitated pilot
deliberately causing death or serious injury to passengers, there
have been several cases where such behavior was suspected, and one
case where a pilot crashed an airliner on purpose.
