1. Actually the hijs, if not "very" trained or if in too much adranaline relly totally on the word of the pilots to where they are headed. You cannot "see" where you are headed unless you know how to read the instruments, which in an high adrinaline case...is not very clear. I can tell this by looking in a cockpit myself (traveling for 18 yrs delhi to riyadh), you cant really see ANything! If they know how to read > goto 2.

2. If the hijs take over the cockpit, and they know how to read the instruments then let them read!! Since all instr. are electronics...they can be automated, to give a delusion, that the plane is really under their control. Actually its being driven by the ground to a safe location.

2b. If they make it into the cockpit. Lockit up (remotely) and gas em (non-lethal) lol. The remaining in isles can be taken care on landing.

3. Remote control does not mean an RC control with left/right goup godown commands. But a whole VR system, which is normally used to train pilots. Just that its connected to the real plane in question. Now how can we rereally be sure if its safe to give into VR? ...I can say not every system is perfect..and anyway something is better than hijs taking over the whole plane anyway.

More importantly, this only takes care of the hijaking. But if u have a case of a bomb then let the dudes down at airport security take care of it. Tighten that first.

P.S: Bytheway, to someone who asked if refuling is poss in air. Yes it is, ive noted for fighter. But I dont know about the comertial aircrafts.
it is me who ask about refuelling and thank you for the information.
and you know one thing your reply makes me convinced about the idea.
and i think it will work if implemented.hats off to CEans.
