Title: Passenger lands plane at Humberside Airport after pilot falls ill
Post by: mhm on October 09, 2013, 06:34:38 AM
A passenger has landed an aeroplane at Humberside Airport after the pilot fell ill at the controls.

Police, fire and ambulance crews were called to the airport after the pilot collapsed and a distress call was made from the aircraft.

Two flying instructors were called in to advise the passenger how to bring the plane down.

One of them, Roy Murray, said the passenger had no flying experience and did a "remarkable job".

And at night too.

I found my first nightime landing quite daunting and I had a licence.
