Twitter
In an incredible case in the US, a passenger with no previous experience of flying planes, managed to land a plane in Florida on Tuesday after the pilot became 'incoherent' following a medical emergency.
The passenger managed to successfully land the single-engine Cessna plane at Palm Beach International Airport on Tuesday, according to an NBC report.
“I’ve got a serious situation here,” the passenger can be heard in an audio recording of his conversation with air traffic control.
“My pilot has gone incoherent. I have no idea how to fly the airplane,” they say.
“Roger. What’s your position?” a dispatcher responds.
“I have no idea,” the passenger says.
“I can see the coast of Florida in front of me. And I have no idea.”
Then an air traffic controller guided the passenger and provided instructions, and he managed to land the plane safely.
