A passenger with no flight experience safely landed a private plane at a Florida airport this Tuesday, May 10, when the pilot became incapacitated, CNN<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the situation unfolded, the passenger can be heard telling air traffic control that he doesn’t know how to fly the plane, according to audio from LiveATC.net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I have a serious situation here,” the unidentified passenger said in the audio. “My pilot has become incoherent and I have no idea how to fly the plane.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An air traffic controller then began giving the passenger instructions to land the plane, according to the audio, which eventually touched down at Palm Beach International Airport in Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Try to keep the wings level and see if you can start descending for me. Push forward on the controls and descend at a very slow rate,” the air traffic controller is heard saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Try to follow the coast north or south. We are trying to locate you.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In additional audio captured by LiveATC.net, another air traffic controller can be heard telling other aircraft what was happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“You just witnessed a couple of passengers landing on that plane,” the tower operator can be heard telling an American Airlines pilot waiting to take off for Charlotte, North Carolina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Did you say the passengers landed the plane?” the American Airlines pilot asked. “Oh, my goodness. Great job,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two people were aboard the single-engine Cessna 208 when the pilot had a “possible medical issue,” the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement. The pilot’s condition is unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FAA is investigating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
