Pilot Mental Health and Cockpit Safety

Clip: 3/25/2015 | 11m 9sVideo has Closed Captions

We have analysis of mental health evaluations for airline pilots.

A French prosecutor announced Thursday that a Germanwings co-pilot deliberately crashed a jet in the French Alps after locking the pilot out of the cockpit. The prosecutor said there is no indication the crash was related to terrorism. The announcement has sparked questions about mental health evaluations for airline pilots, why the co-pilot was able to prevent the pilot from entering the cockpit.
