Probably never covered in this forum but has anyone fallen asleep while flying?
A few years back I was flying a Seneca Five for a non pilot owner back from Dublin.
He the only other occupant was up front with me the sole pilot.
In the airway FL110 heading south East on autopilot I was very aware of the humming of the engines.
My eyes got heavier and heavier and I struglled to keep them open.
Next second I felt a sharp dig in the ribs with the concerned comment that the owner had thought i had died
Oh well had I not woken up we would have arrived near Paris
As a slightly different topic anyone else fallen asleep at the controls ?
