If you thought you have seen every crazy thing that can happen on a flight, wait, there's some more. Controversial Brazilian funk singer MC Pipokinha's video from a flight's cockpit is going viral. In the video the singer can be seen sitting in the pilot's seat of what is being reported as a GOL 737 flight, posing for the camera and even taking her pants off. 

  • Fortunately, the flight was not in the air and was on the ground. A pilot was also seen in the video sitting next to her. He even asks her not to take her pants off, but the singer pays no heed. 

  • So far there are no details about the incident. It isn't known when the incident took place or how the singer was allowed inside the cockpit. 
  • Moreover, it is not yet known whether GOL Airlines has taken note of the incident, or whether an investigation has been launched. 
  • GOL Airlines is a Brazilian low-cost carrier. 

Who is MC Pipokinha? 

  • Doroth Helena de Sousa Alves is a 24-year-old Brazilian funk singer who goes by the name MC Pipokinha (meaning little popcorn). She is known for her hypersexual songs and performances. 
  • She has been a subject of public criticism in Brazil for a number of scandals including performing live sexually suggestive acts during a recent concert, allowing a naked fan to perform oral sex on her during another concert, sharing a video of two cats licking her nipples, and more. 

  • For the cat part, she was being investigated for zoophilia. 
  • The singer also had her Instagram account banned. 

Can anyone enter the cockpit? 

  • Rules on entering the cockpit of a plane vary from airline to airline and country to country. Generally speaking, airlines in the West and Europe are more lax on norms about who can enter the cockpit. 
  • Passengers can enter the cockpit before, after, or during a flight at the discretion of the pilot. 
  • Usually, if someone is allowed with the pilot's permission into the cockpit, they sit in the jumpseat, which is the seat behind the pilot's seat. 
  • In India, the rules are strict on who can enter the cockpit. According to a 2019 notification by the DGCA, only authorised members of the government, airplane crew, maintenance team, and other authorised persons can enter the cockpit. 

  • DGCA was in fact investigating a case of an Air India pilot allowing a woman friend to enter the cockpit and sit in the jumpseat. The incident took place in February 2023 and a complaint by a crew member was sent to the authorities. 

There have been a number of bizarre, crazy, and dangerous incidents taking place on airplanes around the world. From fist fights to passengers opening up the emergency exit door of the plane, there has been some kind of restlessness among flyers in recent times.
