I think they should prohibit such type of flights when ranks are reversed. Let's imagine he would have yanked the controls and avoided the crash. Now the Captain could have said "you're insubordinate and tanked my qualification flight, there will be a price to pay".

Extremely unlikely. Laughably so.

  • Sorry, I am trying to follow, but it's a bit ambiguous. It is laughable that the instructor would take controls away, or laughable that they wouldn't, or that in a military subordinate structure there can be retaliations.

    I am up for a good laugh, just not sure which one you meant we'd be laughing at.
