abstract="A 36-year-old pilot took his plane on a brief, unauthorized flight that ended in a high-speed vertical crash next to the runway. A retrospective &quot;psychological autopsy&quot; yielded strong presumptive evidence of an unrecognized depression in a man with manipulative and mildly antisocial characteristics. His withdrawal from his usual patterns of behavior was, instead, regarded as a desirable return to &quot;normal&quot; behavior. This case report includes comments on the role of the psychological autopsy in aircraft accident investigation, anniversary reactions, the use of psychiatric diagnosis to support the agreed-upon decision on the desired disposition, some aspects of subintentional suicidal behavior, a brief review of the literature on suicide by aircraft, and consideration of the role of the flight surgeon in preventing such occurrences through early recognition of depression.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
