An 18-year old male passenger got up from his seat as the Cessna Caravan was approaching Aniak Airport, Alaska. He attempted to take over control by pushing the right-hand control wheel forward. At that time the aircraft was 5 miles from the airport at an altitude of 1000 to 1500 feet.
The pilot was able to regain control of the aircraft with the assistance of passengers who pulled the passenger away.
Alaska State Troopers arrested the passenger and later reported he was suicidal.
