Round of applause for all involved, please. Great job!
Wish that pilot is OK!
man, that's intense.
Any chance of obtaining more audio on this in the future?
Prayers for the pilot. Both controllers should be nominated for the FAA Southern Region NATCA "Archie League Medal of Safety" award. Excellent job by all involved including the passenger who kept his wits about him.
@@heatshieldI doubt it. Radio transmissions are recorded by the FAA and are also streamed by multiple websites. Cellular phone conversations are rarely recorded unless the pilot was given a recorded phone number at PBI.
VASAviation thanks for this one! after I heard about it on the news I was hoping you'd cover it, when I checked I couldnt find any ATC of it tho
@@airtrafficmike2865 heard that. Just wondering if VAS is working on it at all. Never know what is available until you check.
Sometimes other pilots in the area, who have become aware of an issue like this, do communicate with the person in trouble.
Tower was like a proud Dad after that plane got on the ground. He'll be telling that story for the rest of his life.
Controller/instructor is going to be able to raise his rates. Maybe a movie.
Controller/instructor has every right to be proud. And that passenger...wow!!! Pulled it out of a 300 mph dive. How many pilots could do that?
How do you know he is gunna be telling the story for that long
I wonder if their is a truly real difference between a proud dad and a proud stepd dad…. In the end he doesn’t have to deal with all the bullshit if he really doesn’t want to, pull the pin so to say
Deservedly! They both were amazing!
Good job Victor!
I like how the emergency pilot emphatically said "NO" to fiddling with the radio on the complicated Garmin G1000 display.
He got it right- "Aviate, Navigate, Communicate".
Juan, I have no idea if this airplane had the G1000 displays...it is an older 675 hp Caravan; some have the Garmin1000, many others do not. Either way, a great job to ATC and the passenger. I wish the pilot the best and speediest recovery. I met them both just before their departure from Marsh Harbour, the pilot was courteous, professional and sharp as a tack... I was a mere 30 minutes behind them on the return flight to Florida (my FO and I were in a Caravan as well). Got it right...he did!
Was just discussing “bad UI design is deadly” based on Anders Puck Nielsens video, regarding how user fatigue due to too simple/unhelpful UIs. Here’s another UI problem where’s the complexity is way too high for the current user.
As an occasional car driver I sometimes find myself annoyed with rentals where you might realize that something like wipers, lights, cruising speed etc is on the wrong position when you need it… often you can find out the issue safely while driving but once it gets too fiddly you have to find a safe stop to figure out the car’s control issues. Being in an airplane where stopping is not an option, that sounds a bit scary to me :)
@@randomgeocacher right on! i've been saying that cars should have the basic commands standardized for decades. and i don't have to mention how idiotic touch screens are for anything that you have to mess with while driving
@@randomgeocacher uhhhh...shouldn't you identify the controls before you leave?
I think this flight needs the Juan Browne blancolirio treatment. Staying calm and flying the plane first leads to a great outcome.
Just an update on the pilot if you're watching this late - He miraculously survived a heart attack caused by torn aorta and was released after surgery only a week or so later! Most people that have that happen don't live through the ride to the hospital
Absolutely incredible. 2 months later - thanks for the update!
Holy crap, not even a pilot he's already getting a possible pilot deviation and a phone number to call. 🤣
Excellent job Sir!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Possible passenger deviation?
ROFL first thing i thought of when he said i have a number for you to call
@@vbscript2 If you do something wrong and air traffic control notices, they might give you a number to call to talk with the controller or FAA. Basically means you're in trouble.
@@stevep8485 vbscript2 is in on the joke, instead of announcing "possible pilot deviation" to the errant pilot, script2 speculates the controller needs to announce a "possible passenger deviation".
"It's gonna be a couple minutes. You just witnessed a couple passengers land that plane."
Wild
"What the hell did I go to flight school for, then??"
@@MrWheeler715 don't give management any ideas!
Imagine how tense it was for the controllers watching.
Why does he say a couple? Is there one guy or two?
@@robsteele2087 omg I couldn't imagine, the amount of relief he felt when they were safely on the ground had to be monumental!
The controller that helped the passenger land safely was actually my flight instructor great guy!
Ayyyyyy, buy him a couple cold ones for us, yeah?
Hey MechanicalWolf! :D
Do you know the condition of the pilot?
@@hauntedshadowslegacy2826 hell I owe him way more than that for putting up with some of my landings🥴🛫🤙
@@VoicyZA ayoooooooo
The pax has better comms than half the pilots in Miami.
lol. i liked the "10-4"
@@AliasFilter what was this 10-4? His callsign appears to be different than that.
@@vinylscorcese3435 Code for "Acknowledgement/Roger"
Better than any Republic pilot
He's definetly someone with radio experience either military or police, maybe police because of the calm manner he talked in the radio.
As a old retired pilot, I can only commend the individual for his state of calm and the act that he got the three facets of aviation in the right order. Aviate, Navigate and to hell with the communications if it is a problem. The man is a hero in my mind.
I don't know. If it were me trying to save my keester by landing an aircraft, Id WANT that voice to accompany me to the runway for sure. Because I'd be on the ball asking questions if I didn't understand something.
@@patersonplankrd That's not what he's saying. Of course he needed the comms open for instruction on how to put the plane down in the most straightforward way possible. But the guy didn't need to be doing a bunch of unnecessary stuff that would have taken his attention away from flying the plane.
Tower was smart enough not to press the issue. If you can't do it on you're end we'll do it on ours. But the pilot has to make clear he can't do certain things of course. Communication is important.
You know what the most impressive part of that whole thing was for me? ATC was trying to give him a new frequency for the radio. Controller says it twice and then asks if he has it. He replied, “NO!” in a way that made it very clear he was at or near his breaking point of being overwhelmed with tasks. It was the non-pilot’s version of “Unable. Stand by.” Controller recognized it and backed off, at least for that moment. Impressive that a non-pilot was able to deliver that message and that the controller seemed to understand. 2:28
Yeah, honestly, I was surprised the controller even tried to give a non-pilot a frequency change. Seems like that's just asking for him to fat-finger it and lose the working comms channel they already have. Immediately backing off and then getting the phone number for PBI Approach was definitely the right move, though. Only downside would be that the pax probably couldn't hook the headset up to the phone, so probably had to use speakerphone. Certainly not optimal in a loud airplane, but it beats nothing. They did say "a couple of passengers" landed the plane, so maybe one passenger was talking on the phone and relaying to the one who was flying.
I thought that asking for a frequency change was a mistake. This is the one case where the tower should change their frequency to match the plane :-). Having him establish a secondary communication channel by phone was a smart move however.
It was my immediate thought when i listen though this, and it has always been my understanding that in these sorts of situations to use other planes to relay if going out of range, although there doesn't seem to be anything indicating this is a pressing issue, and even then if they are going out of range a 180-degree turn is probably a better next step IMO, it is definitely a lesson to be learnt from this as he was asked to change frequency prior to the phone call (backup communication) being established. Assuming there's nothing else in the timeline missing from this then i suspect ATC believed the experience of the person was capable of this task (as do i). His skill and knowledge is well above your average joe, If i was to put money on it I'd say he would be a Helicopter, glider or a serious flight sim person, if not a lapsed PPL.
@@BaldurNorddahl It seems like ATC uses a fixed frequency, with only fixed backup frequencies.
eg: www.icao.int/APAC/Documents/edocs/APX.%20N%20-%20Guidance%20on%20Backup%20frequencies.pdf
I imagine there could be significant issues if they started using the same frequency as another airport.
@@chrism3847 Considering his radio calls, I don't think there's any chance that he had even a bit of actual flying experience. Possibly some flight sim at most. No one that flies any type of aircraft would ever say "10-4" to ATC on the radio.
That passenger has skill. Hats off to him who landed the plane and saved many lives and the ATC who guided the aircraft to safety! 👍
His only mistake was not knowing what 'incoherent' means.
@@pistonburner6448 What do you mean? If the pilot had a stroke or something, he could've been mumbling and not understandable when the passenger was trying to talk to him - i.e. incoherent. I'm thinking maybe it's you who doesn't know what the word means, lol!
@@pistonburner6448 Could be that the controller had trouble understanding the "pilot", as for why they didn't see them on the radar and asked for them to change frequency. Might just have been too far away.
@@Falcon-um7vo He said that the pilot is "incoherent, he is out". I think he was looking for the word 'incapacitated'. It doesn't really matter though, I just found it funny.
@@pistonburner6448 Yes, either progressed from incoherent to non-responsive or the "out" was likely short for the idiomatic phrase "out of it" (meaning he's conscious, but not able to fly the plane). Either way, I'm sure the passenger knew what he (the passenger) was saying.
Love how the controller had to brag to a waiting plane that the passenger made the landing. I would have done the same thing. Damn impressive.
I'm guessing this passenger is either in emergency services or transportation. Good comms discipline and good intuitive figuring stuff out, but not familiar with basic aircraft functions.
That's what I thought, too.
i thought the same, possibly law enforcement due to using ten codes?
@@crtkatze2 Everyone who uses a radio tries to be cool by saying 10-4.
Absolutely someone used to communicating with dispatch over radio, a regular person would be saying umm alot more
Truckers even use 10-4 on their CBs, so who knows.
1 hour as PIC of a turboprop has got to be the most impressive first logbook entry ever
Certainly had some experience, whether it was simply flying in small planes often or sim training. Awesome!
yep for sure, but still not easy to do for the first time by himself.
I agree completely, he knew the vocabulary. And rough idea of how to interact with ATC.
@@patrickodell7654 I wonder if her follows some pilots on RUclips or watches this channel. That could definitely allow him to know some of the vocab. He might be familiar with Ham or CB radio as he was using 10- codes which are rare in aviation-speak.
He probably knew stuff because he heard the vocabulary and procedure before from the pilot.
Was not a pilot since 10-4 is not really used in aviation. He could be a police officer or military with radio experience, I'm leaning towards police officer, either way both jobs are highly stressful, made him cope with a life threatening problem outstandingly well.
Wow. Listening to the audio of the passenger speaking to the controller initially was impressive. They remained so calm in such a terrifying situation. Bravo to that passenger and the controllers who helped them land that plane! I sincerely hope that the pilot recovers from whatever happened to cause him to become incoherent and "out."
The passenger said 10-4 which would suggest they are or have been an emergency worker, but excellent indicator readings for no flying experience
@@ioshakz Yeah they were using CB radio cadence, which means they've communicated before, just on the road rather than in the air. The lack of fluency in emergency codes means that it was probably a guy who'd driven truck rather than been a first responder. At the very least though it gave him some ability to communicate intelligibly, and that counts for a lot.
Being a deaf skydiver for 20 years, I've sat up front with the jump plane pilot a bunch of times and even taken the controls briefly on a King Air. I've also flown in the passenger seat of an Extra 300L acrobatic plane that my brother's best friend owned and took me up in, and I was allowed to control the plane out over Monterey Bay, doing full 360 degree loops, barrel rolls, holding it upside down, etc. When we got back on the ground he asked me if I'd ever flown the controls of a plane before, he was flabbergasted when I answered no.
But, I'll be damned if I'm going to be the only passenger on a plane and the sole pilot goes unconscious, because how the fuck could I communicate with ATC? I can speak just as well as anybody, I just can't hear anything.
I tend to do that, too. Somehow, I have a natural ability to remain calm, cool, and collected during a crisis and get it handled without breaking down.
After it's over, though, is another story 😹
@@ioshakz or he played video games a lot of times people know how to control things to certain extend because of video games
I just saw a little bit of the interview of that passenger. He said he didn't have time to panic. Handle the situation, and he did. He kept calm, regained control of the aircraft, managed to plug the heatset in and called ATC. Major kudos for just how well he handled the emergency. So glad the ATC he talked to is an instructor. Lives and aircraft saved and I hope the pilot is OK.
Best possible outcome.
@@tmb1065 the radio was set to the frequency used by the atc for one of the airports nearby. Everyone on that frequency within range can hear everything being transmitted. The atc at the airport he landed at had to get out an old backup radio that could switch frequencies to the other airports because the pilot(I guess we can call him that now? The guy flying) didn't know how to change frequency on his radio (atc radios are usually stuck on one frequency)
Everyone saying the guy had some experience. It's just as plausible that he's been a frequent passenger in the right seat, so has a) listened to the pilot with all his terminology, b) watched and been told by the pilot what all they're looking at on the dash. You can learn a lot just by watching
Yeah, if you dig deeper into this story you will see that the passenger mentioned an interest in aviation but no actual flight experience. So yeah he was familiar with a lot of the concepts and just never was able to put it into practice until this event. Doesn't take away from how impressive this is imo.
or even was just fast at figuring it out plus other people saying he had an interest in aviation. I've done very little with a flight simulator but im pretty sure I could handle the throttle and yoke and tell what my heading and altitude is although idk how well I would actually be able to land a plane irl
@@philj8205 I agree
Absolutely. I have no flight training at all, I'm just nerdy and into aviation. I know you need to flare when you land, I know what speed a typical passenger jet lands at, I know if you lose too much airspeed you will stall, I know if you pitch up too much you will stall if you don't have the engine power to match it. I know you set your flaps and put down your landing gear to land. I know things cause drag. I know you squawk in an emergency. I know you need to get back down to 10,000 ft if your cabin pressure fails.
All these things I just picked up from watching videos.
That’s a good point, but I feel like my friends I’ve flown with quite a bit and explained things too wouldn’t really know specific items like this guy did.
I love how calm everyone is, especially the commercial pilot, who even as he is clearly amazed, calmly expresses approval
FAA investigator: "How did you get that pilotless plane to land safely?"
ATC who helped him land: "It was easy, I just phoned it in."
(rimshot) Da-dum-chsh
Booooo
🤣
Boooo
As a private pilot myself, I get really emotional listening to these things. Amazing things can happen. What nerves that guy had.
Latest development: Fakenews, the "passenger" spent hundreds of hours as copilot in this very airplane. No licence but a lot of time flying the thing as a copilot... No miracle. ruclips.net/video/T4qfMAXGpT4/видео.html
“ I have a number for you”
This is the one time you want to hear ATC say those words! Great job to the passenger!
In my opinion he should have asked for his number instead of giving a number.
Great job!
He didn't even have to jump out of the plane with a fire extinguisher.
You can tell he was a rookie. :D That would be the first thing a PRO would do.
lol Trevor is gonna be the laughing stock of the aviation community for the next decade.
@@hauntedshadowslegacy2826 At least a thousand years.
Best comment!
🤣
The lesson here to be learned for all small plane pilots.....Don’t Panic!!!....if passengers can do it, so can you. Wings straight, descent rate, airspeed and altitude.....these passengers did a fantastic job, and so did the controllers who talked them down. Fantastic.
"My pilot is incoherent"
"This is normal for Southwest Airlines. Do you have a real emergency? Oh wait - you're a Cessna......"
Who else saw this on the news and came straight to VASAviation hoping it would already be up 😂
Absolutely insane that ATC asked the passenger to change the radio frequency.
True. Would have been pretty bad if the passenger messed up the radio setting somehow.
Thought the same
I feel like the controller may have been concerned about radio range, KFPR is 51nm from KPBI and as the pilot makes his decent, the curvature of the earth could block the communications.
@@_DJX ya but they can just have Palm Beach, or whoever is gonna take over, dial up the freq on their end
Absolutely! MASSIVE risk!! I think that is the most important observation in this whole thing.
ATC tells him, "I have a number for you when you are ready." LMAO the passenger pilot got himself in trouble already! LOL
Based on this I have add to my passenger briefing how to operate the transponder, in addition to my usual explanation of how to generally read altimeter, operate radio etc to the right seat pax. General aviation is behind in learning from past experience, but this is so important to make it safer for everyone.
Great idea
Amen to that
I’m sure that pilot did a good job briefing his passenger. People don’t miraculously know how to do the radio or hold the wings level. That needs to be recognized as well and again it’s important to brief your passenger even if it’s 1 in a million chance.
Great job by the passenger & ATC guiding them! Hope the pilot is okay 🙏🏼
For someone with no experience, the guy seems like a natural. Calm and composed. Excellent.
He did a damn good job- both communicating and flying. It is obvious that he has some experience probably sitting in the right seat and talking on a radio. I think someone that uses and is comfortable flying MS Flight Simulator would have a “leg up” as far as controlling the aircraft, although I don’t know if that is the case here. The CFI that “talked him down” also deserves a LOT of recognition!
He may not be a pilot, but he sure had the most basic tennant down: aviate first
I've got a fair few hours in G1000 equipped airplanes in the sim. There's no doubt in my mind I'd be able to work the radios and the autopilot at least
I strongly doubt he had any experience talking on the radio, since he was saying "10-4." That's not used at all in aviation. Someone with any experience using the radio in aviation would have been saying "copy" or "roger" just out of habit.
As far as how helpful MS FS is, just speaking from my own experience of having played it on and off for years before I ever flew a real airplane, it's helpful for knowing how to read all of the instruments and how to use the radios and such. And, if you're trying to fly "correctly" with it, it can also be helpful for learning visual navigation, flying traffic patterns, learning instrument procedures, etc. For actually landing, though, it's not especially realistic.
As a student pilot who is just starting to learn to fly a circuit and land, but with lots of simulator experience and years of experience in flying R/C aircraft, I'd have to say that it's still damn impressive. R/C aircraft teach a lot about flight dynamics, and the simulator familiarizes you with the instruments, which gives you a leg up, but it's still a far cry from the skills needed to safely land a plane. Especially since this guy was in an actual emergency rather than having a nice calm instructor next to him.
2:00 "ten four" he has some radio exposure.
I just saw this on the news and immediately came here for the audio. Great work and man, I'm glad everyone was okay.
its such a bummer they dont have audio of the CFI talking them down! super cool
ruclips.net/video/aqPvVxxIDr0/видео.html
I know! I hope it pops up soon.
PBI Approach: "Caravan 333LD, change frequency on COM1 to so this can be recorded by LiveATC and posted on RUclips."
I so agree! However, I think it was done through the cellphone because he was unable to change the radio frequency.
@@BrainScramblies The ATC probably records the cell phone conversations as well, so maybe we'll get it at some point in the future.
"I have a number for you to call."
"What? Oh FFS, I'm new at this you know!"
"No, to tell you how to land."
"Oh. Right."
That was amazing though. Hats off to all concerned. That guy was calmer than some professional airline pilots we've heard on here.
🤣🤣🤪
FFS?
@@K1OIK "for fucks sake"
I can imagine "It's bad to talk while driving a car, they want me to call someone while I'm flying a plane?"
So glad everyone got on the ground safely. Terrifying situation and props to the passenger for keeping his cool
Saw what you did there ; )
Over the years, there have been any number of instances like this. However, the absolutely stellar handling of the aircraft by the passenger is right up there with the famous “King Air” guy, Doug White, saving his family when their pilot passed. There are multiple videos with the ATC transmissions (probably including VASAviation), which are exciting and interesting (sorry, Doug). But, the real gem is a 45-minute speech he gave about the experience. Definitely worth the time to check out.
Edit: Added the passenger’s name, Doug White
The King Air pilot passenger was Doug White and it was 9DW. Actually after seeing it, I had read and then verified that he actually owned that aircraft prior to the incident and had paid attention to what the pilot was doing. That was an epic story as well and hopefully they will have more to follow on this one.
@@chesterlauck2654 Thanks, I updated the original post. Doug’s excellent speech: ruclips.net/video/cq1b2ZfDYDg/видео.html
The pilot died, right? "Passed" is not standard English and may confuse international readers.
Yeah also I can remember 2 cases where senior passengers landed a plane, one if I remember correctly was a 70 something year old man that ended up landing at night in a small Cessna with a dark cockpit, that one would've been helluva scary and another was an 80 year old woman that landed a twin engine Cessna.
@@Hartbreak1 I think the first case is this one: ruclips.net/video/Ng3ULAsAUB4/видео.html Would love to watch something about that lady.... EDIT: got it:) ruclips.net/video/WJizAxKHUZI/видео.html
Awesome, love these moments where they have to "step-up" and it comes out successfully.
wow. this made me teary i will not lie. such an amazing story and both men are true hero’s. props to the new pilot for keeping his calm and figuring out how to fly a plane by himself in such a scary situation.. but major props to ATC, handled that like an absolute pro.. and definitely saved lives in the process
Trevor Jacob should take note.
These guys should be the ones with a GoPro rolling for their youtube channel.
*Great Job! How did he know to say that he was "maintaining at 9100" , with all of those numbers on the control panel? Sounds like he is somewhat familiar with aviation language. Smart man* !
Those are quite obvious on the panel and were necessary to recover the sudden descent . Not hard to read a low needle or digital numbers quickly dropping.
I hope somebody buys that passenger and controller a beer. Nice job to get the plane on the ground safely.
And hope the pilot is ok!
A 12 pack!!!
I hope the audio of the CFI helping this guy comes out soon, what a story.

Was on a cell phone.
@@kimchi2780 ATC may or may not have audio anyway. Nobody listening on the radio heard it. TBH I was expecting tower to power up the backup radio and switch it to the frequency the plane was on.
@@kimchi2780 Which I approve of. It's a method of communication the passenger was more familiar with.
@@hagamapama not only that he couldn't use the radio and needed handoff. It was a perfect move.
Caravan 333LD - - "I have a phone number for you..."
I think this is the first time that anyone would want to hear that saying...
WOW - - just WOW - -
THANKS
It’s amazing the passenger was able to figure out some of the basics even before contacting atc. Huge props to him for a job well done.
Gentle inputs and don’t crash?
it makes me feel proud for keeping your cool and when the cards are down we are all in. Thanks for everyone that helped the "pilot"
You did a wonderful job getting this out so quickly! I expected it would be one you covered but I never expected you'd have this vid finished and posted within 24 hours of the incident. Serious props to you!
Actually according to reports (and it matches the flight path from tracking), the passenger had to recover from a dive first.
A shoutout to my fellow FAA Technicians that keep the lines of communication working for moments like these! Not to mention thousands and thousands of 'regular' situations daily as well! Nice job TechOps!
Props to the unexpected pilot. Seems like he knew he was overloaded with info, and just replied NO to the frequency change. Smart move to stay focused on flying the airplane.
Props? Propeller worked.
That is a experienced passenger if you ask me.
I love how ATC bragged about his landing to the airline waiting to depart.
The way he remained calmed definitely helped him
I feel like saying No to fiddling with Garmin is what saved lives. This was the most impressive moment to me as a flight simmer.
No doubt. A Garmin 1000 is not really conducive to the VFR scanning techniques. CFIs can spot a flight simmer the first 5 minutes in the plane. The lack of sensation, view limitations, and no fear of getting clobbered by another plane makes simmers have really bad habits. Those screens get dimmed and it's all flying out the windscreen :D
Hey Victor, Thanks for getting this information up - a lot of us have been waiting for this! You didn't disappoint!
3:37 the first time a pilot is happy to hear ATC say they have a phone number for them to call.
This was spectacular.
Remember the widow (elderly) whose husband _died_ at the controls of their King Air? Without any previous pilot experience she too was ‘talked down’ and safely landed the aircraft! It’s on RUclips.
This is my first time hearing someone call out 10-4 on ATC frequency. but yeah, great job to the passenger.
Sweet! I saw that on the news earlier this week and I figured you would probably post it. You didn't disappoint. Thank you!
That's actually really impressive! Good work to everyone who helped.
I was waiting patiently for this. I love you VASAviation.
And damn, the tower saying "i've got a phone number for you" to that brand new pilot must've made him nervous .. lol
"Brand new pilot"!
As a non-pilot, I don't think he would have realised the significance of that expression - "I have a number for you to call"
@@robsteele2087 He's in command of the plane, he's a pilot, like it or not. It may be his first time and he may not be certified, but until the bird's on the ground, he's a pilot by necessity.
@@gordonlyons5813 care to explain the significance for a non-pilot?
@@MenaceFan googling.. seems they tell you that when you're in trouble. call the number to find out what you did wrong
OK I have to say that he might not have been a pilot but he definitely knew his way around airplanes. He knew where instruments were what they showed and how to read them.
I know some of that from watching Mayday/Air Crash Investigation
Yeah he knew more than what he lead on...something fishy 🤔
Im so proud of my son. He did a perfect job. Papi loves you❤️
Just read about this in the news. My first thought was to check your channel and you did not disappoint!
Surely had some training right in the sim/RPL so calm
Exactly. His comms weren’t perfect, but he clearly had some exposure to aviation. Seemed like the biggest issue was lack of familiarity with the radios on that particular plane. Even properly rated rated pilots, not under any special stress wouldn’t be expected to fully grok any, random radios and gauge-work thrown at them. This dude was a total boss figuring out as much as he did under pressure.
Some friends of the pilot posted on TikTok. They said that he had a heart attack but is going to be okay. Sucks that we don't have the Palm Beach audio but the happy ending is enough for me. Congrats to the passenger that had enough sense to get on the radio and get the plane on the ground safely. He'll have ultimate bragging rights forever!
So glad you posted this
I love this channel. As soon as I seen the news report, I knew if I came here, you would have a video up. Great work as always.
Dude, that was so intense yet so amazing! I would’ve had an anxiety attack if that were me! Props to the passenger and the ATC! I’m hoping the pilot is ok!
I love it, 10-4 great job good buddy.👍
He might had no flighting experiencie. But that man knew how to operate a rádio. Amazing
Thank you very much! Liked, subscribed and shared. My absolute favorite RUclips channel by far.
Wow! That'll be one to tell the grandkids. Amazing that a person with no flying experience managed to put it safely on the runway, especially under those conditions. Great job by them and the controller/instructor that talked them down. 👏
cool first entry for that PAX's logbook
Thank you for putting this up so quickly.
Stayed calm and did what was needed! Bravo!
That's incredible! Kudos to all involved, specially those passengers!!
Oh my God that's awesome! Hats off to the controller and the passengers involved
This is why is always good idea to brief your pax how to operate the radio and transponder. Great job
Saw this on the news, immediately came to RUclips to see if this was here. Was not disappointed
WOW! Some Archie League Medals are DEFINITELY in order for these controllers! Would love to hear full audio (and landline talk) as well
Tower: “what’s your location?” Me: “I’m right by the cloud that looks like a horse”
Congratulations to all involved. Sounded like everyone had level, calm heads which made this terrifying situation a positive one. Prayers for the pilot. Hope he's ok.
Incredible job by the pax. I think he definitely works in a high stress job that involves radio coms. Glad they were able to talk him down over a cell phone. But kinda sucks we didn't get to hear any of that.
Hope flywire can get in touch with him and do an interview. He said the plane rolled. Incredible for someone with 0 flight experience to land after loosing his pilot, recovering from a roll, and loosing flight instruments.
Yes, I'd like to hear that 📞 call
Doesn’t know how to fly an airplane but has those radio skills? Hmm...
God bless everyone involved to bring them home safely. Incredible job with ATC team. Awesome Teamwork! 🦸s living among us 🛩️.❤️😎👍🇺🇲
Saw this article, couldn't wait for your video on it!
That was sick. Thank you for the content!!!!
Just read the report from this case, immediately went to this channe to see if you had it up, was not disappointed :) Thank you for your dedication and work!
And bravo to the passenger!
BRAVO ZULU to the passenger, and very best wishes to the pilot 💐🙏🏼
ATC being so calm is awesome.
This guy knew some things for sure.
Good job man.
This guy had some experience. You can tell by the way he calls out his altitude.
_- Do you have a cellphone with you, _*_I'll give you a number to call_*
_- But, sir wait, I'm not a pilot, but I'm not Harrison Ford either!_
_-Oh, ok then, you can land the plane over there, don't worry you'll do great._
Wow, thats a big plane to try and fly let alone land your first time around.
Wow...even MY heart was pounding for a second there!!! Well done everyone, best wishes for the pilot.
That's probably every avionics fan's dream 😃
Great job 👏
Bruh...I was working at the hangar next door and wondered what happened with all the police
That was incredible!! That dude was able to stay that calm and collected having never flown a plane!! Wow!! I do believe I would have been soiling my pants at that point!! Great job -- major, major kudos to all!! Loved the American pilot's response!! Great video!! 💖👍✈✈👍💖
