Part 4: Autonomous activities

Things to think about, research and discuss:

Have you ever been on a flight when passengers have behaved badly? If so, what were the circumstances? How did the cabin crew react? Do you think the incident was dealt with effectively?
What is your opinion of airport and airline security?
What do you think about the practice of strapping unruly passengers to their seats?
Do you know of any incidents in which excessive force has been used with unruly passengers? If so, what were the circumstances?
Do you think armed air marshals are a good idea? Why (not)?
Do you worry more about security issues in aviation now than in the past? Why (not)?
What do you think are the most significant security issues in aviation today?
At which airport (or with which airline) have you encountered the strictest security measures? Describe them.
Have you ever experienced a police check as a pilot? What happened?
Has your aircraft ever been searched by customs?

If, “There are two kinds of pilots: those who have experienced clear air turbulence and those that will”, which kind are you?
Have you encountered turbulence more generally as a pilot and / or passenger? What were the circumstances? How long did it last? How did you react?
Have you ever needed to use the oxygen masks during a flight? If so, what were the circumstances?
