Yeah I'm with Aero Student in that situation I'd plan to use the pedals to make the most suitable RET at a place like STN and vacate the runway. I've often thought of what I'd do faced with the situation this chap found himself in and I've always concluded that the most important thing is to give yourself time to prepare for a single pilot arrival, and not feel compelled to rush the aircraft onto the groung somewhere. Not an easy thing to do when faced with the incapacitation of your captain. Seems like he did exactly that and kudos to him, job well done. I bet he won't have to buy any beer for a week or two!
