On Aug. 20, 2010, court records show, a pilot on a Spirit Airlines flight out of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, took the passenger jet he was flying out of autopilot and accelerated the airplane nearly to maximum speed, pulling the plane up into a rapid climb.

He had exhibited erratic behavior before, notably in February 2010, when he was found lying on the floor of the cockpit on a flight from San Juan, P.R. He failed to tell the airline or his medical examiner that he was self-medicating with St. John’s wort, an herbal supplement often used for psychological issues.
