A passenger with no experience of flying successfully landed a small plane in Florida yesterday afternoon, after the pilot experienced a medical emergency.
The feat happened at Palm Beach International Airport with the help of air traffic controllers, according to WPBF-TV.
In the details, the passenger Cessna Caravan contacted air traffic controllers, saying that he was in a dangerous situation, adding: “My plane has become loose. I have no idea how to fly the plane.”
And the passenger was answered by the observers, saying: “Keep the wings level and just try to follow the coast, either north or south. We are trying to locate you.”
Controllers helped the plane land safely, 25 miles north of Palm Beach in Boca Raton.
The station stated that air traffic controllers directed the passenger to the ground, who was able to secure a safe and stable landing.
Aviation expert John Nance commented on the incident, saying: “This is the first time I’ve heard of a Cessna being landed by someone with no flying experience.”
