today the ntsb thinks this is serious.dress the urgent concerns about pilot mental health the ntsb says current protocols simply are not good enough for pilots, and that could lead to a serious problem in the skies when you board a flight, you assume the pilot is mentally fit to fly but aviation and mental health experts say current regulations cause too many pilots to keep their struggles a secret, leading to mental health breakdowns, some in flight today the ntsb is holding a summit to develop solutions. >> what's unsafe is not getting people the help they deserve. >> reporter: take the case of joseph emerson. >> we've got the guy that tried to shut us down out of the cockpit. >> reporter: in october, emerson tried to shutdown the engines of an alaska flight the jury is indicting him on 83 counts of reckless endangerment. emerson has pled not guilty. in court filings he claimed he was having a mental health emergency. he told police he had been depressed for six years, had recently lost a friend and had taken psychedelic

never before has this stigma been talked about so openly, what is interesting here is the head of the ntsbls me, it is the faa that created this stigma. here is the problem. pilots must report any mental health issue to the faa, but then they risk losing their medical certification, ability to fly, livelihood. the reality is that so many pilots lie to the faa, so that they can fly. and if they are caught, they face very severe penalties. you see the bind there. the faa just announced it is convening a special rulemaking committee to take another look at its policies. here's where the faa says about its mission. provide recommendations to the faa, on ways to identify and break down any remaining barriers that discourage pilots from reporting and seeking care for mental health issues. the spark that lit the fire under the faa happened on october 25th, that is one off-duty pilot joseph emerson was riding in the cockpit of an alaska airlines play -- flight, he essentially tried to crash the plane. emerson told police he thought he was in a dream, recently experimented with magic mushrooms, had
