The risk of hijacking aircraft is particularly great if the hijacker is directly on the pilot and his crew can act. Is excluded the possibility that the kidnappers directly on the pilot and the part of the crew necessary for the safe operation of the aircraft act, there is a risk of an aircraft hijacking not banned, but reduced. The plane can despite the influence of terrorists exposed passengers and the machine exposed to the influence of the terrorists still operated, flown and landed will. In particular, any violent confrontations between passengers and kidnappers do not occur Direct influence on the crew.

However, it appears particularly expedient if, according to the innovation, there is also an indirect influence of terrorists on the part of the crew responsible for the technical operation of the aircraft is excluded. Such an influence is particularly the case when terrorists act on passengers in order to avoid them being directly exposed to their influence Blackmail occupation. It is human that in such a case the crew to take the passengers too
