Ummm, yes, the jettison Pilot method is our preferred solution. However, sequence of events is to remove his wallet before pushing him out (this will probably solve the CofG problem too...). Then get onto ATC and shout "Help help! The pilot has gone berserk and thrown himself from the aircraft!"
Will they then winch Charlton Heston down from a CH53 to take over for us?

<edited to add bit about ANO>

In the UK, the Law used is the ANO 1989 Part V, para 50. "A person shall not recklessly or negligently act in a manner likely to endanger an aircraft, or any person therein."
Usual practice is to attempt to dissuade said offender with the NiteSun, and if they persist, send the locals round to obtain details and report for consideration of prosecution.
