In any suspected or actual hijack attempt, what is the pilot's first course of action?

To negotiate with hijackers
To increase the flight altitude
To perform evasive maneuvers
To land at the nearby airport as soon as possible

The correct answer is: To land at the nearby airport as soon as possible

The pilot's first course of action in any suspected or actual hijack attempt is to land the plane at the nearest airport as quickly and safely as possible. This is because landing at an airport provides a safe and controlled environment for passengers and crew to exit the airplane and for authorities to take control of the situation. Negotiating with hijackers (A) can be dangerous and may prolong the situation, increasing the risk to passengers and crew. Increasing the flight altitude (B) may not be effective in deterring hijackers and could also put the plane at risk for damage or loss of control. Performing evasive maneuvers (C) can also be risky and may not effectively resolve the situation. Therefore, the best course of action is for the pilot to prioritize landing at the nearest airport.
