in the next incident was not
hauled off for incarceration, nor was
he charged with physically interfering
with a crew member in performance
of his or her duties. But for sheer
obstinance, he was a winner.
- “The forward cargo door motor was
inoperative, so substantial baggage was
placed in the aft cargo compartment. For
weight and balance purposes, this required
the four rearmost rows of seats to
be vacant throughout the flight.
All passengers seated in those rows were
moved forward prior to taxi. Fifteen minutes
after takeoff, while the seat belt sign
was still illuminated, our Flight Attendant
(FA) called on the intercom and said
that one passenger got up and moved to
one of the blocked rows.” (#170401)
The Flight Attendant asked the man
to move for weight and balance purposes.
He refused. She explained again
that his moving was necessary for
weight and balance compliance. He responded
that he was a pilot, and punctuating
his statement with four-letter
words, announced that he knew better
than to accept the necessity to move.
Moreover, he challenged, “If the pilots
want me to move, they can come back here
and make me.” The Flight Attendant
then asked for help from the flight deck,
but both pilots were too busy with
flight duties to leave the cockpit. The
Captain later reported to ASRS:
- “The Flight Attendant assured us the
man was now seated in the blocked rows
where there was no one to disturb. I
decided to continue to our destination,
but wanted to ensure that nothing
whatsoever would be done to agitate this
individual… Since he indicated he was a
pilot, he was aware of the laws and
intentionally violated them. He certainly
knew the significance of keeping an
aircraft loaded within weight and balance
parameters. He willfully jeopardized the
lives of everyone aboard the aircraft.”
The Flight Attendant added, “When
I offered him refreshments he just sat
there with his arms folded and would not
look at me.”
The crew probably took the best action—
no action—during this incident.
Any further prodding of the passenger
by the crew might have resulted in an
altercation and a more serious disruption
of the flight. Since the aircraft
was apparently still flyable with the passenger
in the off-limits seat, continuing
to the destination was the least provocative
course of action.

“What’s That Smell?”
Not all the inflight passenger
problems reported
to ASRS were the result of
actions by intoxicated or belligerent
individuals. There were several instances
in which well-behaved but uninformed
passengers introduced
hazardous carry-on baggage into the
cabin. One such incident, reported by
a First Officer, involved the discovery
by the cabin crew of a malodorous surprise
in an overhead bin:
- “…A passenger was carrying a compact
chain saw (blade and chain removed)
in a cardboard box in the overhead
bin. The box would not fit upright,
so the passenger had set it on its side.
This apparently allowed fuel/oil mixture
in the engine (tank was empty) to seep
out into the box and finally the overhead
bin as well. We removed the other articles
from the bin (2 coats) and covered the
box with a damp blanket to keep down
the fumes. Other passengers now started
to complain about the fumes, so I went
back to investigate. By now a mixture of
fuel and water was dripping out of the
overhead bin onto a passenger seat…
(#225383)
The cabin crew carried the offending
box to a rear lavatory and covered
it with a damp blanket to stifle the
fumes, while air vents and the lavatory
drain were opened to increase airflow.
The crew then locked the
lavatory and increased the airflow
through the cabin to dissipate the
odor. The passenger who owned the
chain saw was described as “very cooperative,
maybe even embarrassed.” The
final surprise was the passenger’s account
of how the chain saw had been
brought on board: Prior to this
passenger’s initial borading, “Security
told him he could carry it on. Since then
he had not had to clear security screening,
so nothing more was said to him about
it.”
In a similar incident, cabin crew investigating
an unusual odor discovered
a small leaking camp stove
concealed in a knap sack enclosed in
