'Cybersecurity Expert' claims he can control aircraft from his seat in the cabin

An FBI search warrant states that a cybersecurity professional told an agent he was able to control an aeroplane engine from his seat after hacking the on-board computer system. The document claims Chris Roberts said he was able to make the plane "climb" and "move sideways" from his seat.

He says he plugged in to the systems from the seat electronics box and was able to control the aircraft.

Is this feasible?
