Passenger lands aircraft after pilot falls ill!
BBC News - Passenger lands plane at Humberside Airport after pilot falls ill
Any landing you can walk away from..... BZ to the guy in the hot seat. That's some pressure he didn't expect when he woke up this morning!

Reading this unfortunately it looks like the Pilot died
Doesn't say much for the predictive value of the pilot's medical though.

Sky news made out he was on a training flight!
Well done to that you man/woman and the instructors on the ground helping him down!

Yes a sad outcome indeed.
I only hope GAPAN can take a look at this as I think some sort of recognition would be in order. The passenger landed the thing at night with possibly NO prior experience, with the magnificent intervention, of a very capable instructor. Hats off to all involved.

No it doesn't and this applies to all medicals. Each and everyone of us could drop dead with HF or be crippled by a stroke in an instant. Class 1 or no class 1.

Well done to all involved and condolences to the pilots friend and family.
I wonder how many on here have done basic pinch hitter (get it down) demos/training for their significant other or non pilot buddies who frequently ride along, I have with the girlfriend and was pleasantly surprised with her pretty accurate and logical response as to what she would do, granted the real thing is another kettle of fish
Quote on the bbc from eyewitness who seen the landing
"Stuart Sykes, who saw the aircraft land, said: "It came down with a bump, a bump, a bump, hit the front end down, I heard some crashing and it's come to a halt."
So nothing you don't see at your average GA field on a Saturday afternoon
Well done to the guy !!!!

I beg your pardon!! You let a passenger touch the controls!! You are not allowed to let a passenger touch the controls unless you are an instructor. EASA Rules!!
All BS of course, like the rest of the garbage Europe churn out!

Yes, very sad that the Captain has passed away but I am glad that the passenger (or anyone else on the ground) didn't perish as a result of his incapacitation at the time. It could have been much, much worse.
