  • What happens if an airline pilot has a heart attack on takeoff? How fast can they land to help him? Is there a doctor onboard? Can the other pilot safely land the plane? We're going to find out in this video.
    American Airlines Envoy Flight 3556 was scheduled to fly from Chicago O'Hare to Columbus International Airport when the pilot flying in the left seat experienced a heart attack on takeoff and became incapacitated. The flight made an emergency return to Chicago O'Hare. This video was made with the utmost respect for all individuals involved and my hope is that it explains to passengers a little bit about what happens in emergency situations such as this.

      age has nothing to do with it.
      the only factor age has is the older you are. the bigger the chances are at having certain health problems.
      the fault comes from letting the pilot continue flying flight after flight when such a health problem has been diagnosed or dicovered.
      for a person to just die like that on take off. that means it has to be a long term pre existing condition.
      if it really was just an anurism or a random heart attack.
      then it wouldn't matter if he was 20 or 80. it just happened randomly and unexpected wich means he was healthy. sometimes things just happen.

      Nobody is proposing a 1-pilot concept without a backup. All the 1-pilot evaluations have a backup in case of pilot incapacitation, with technology that goes from remote operation to automatic emergency autoland, systems that don't exist in current airplanes (although emergency autoland is a certified option in some very high-end general aviation airplanes). Which basically means that today's airplanes will never fly 1-pilot. Oh and by the way, emergency autoland has nothing to do with the current autoland systems in airliners. It is a totally autonomous system that is activated manually by a person (a passenger in the general aviation planes, the pilot himself in a 1-pilot airliner) or automatically upon lack of response from the pilot and takes over everything, from ATC communications (1-way) to selecting a suitable airport based on airplane performance, terrain, fuel remaining, weather, etc., to 3D navigation to the selected runway, manages power, flaps, landing gear, lands, manages ground steering and brakes, and stops on the centerline.

      I’m just a private pilot and no doubt there is a lot going on for that copilot. One time I moved up from a 172 just into a piper PA 28. It had an extra hundred horsepower. I took off and I was so far behind the airplane, it was unbelievable. We were already over a common checkpoint before I could even get the radios tuned to the right frequency. The thing was going so fast there’s definitely something to be said for being ahead of the airplane, or being behind the airplane so in this case in a jet they’re going very fast and of course the copilots LaserJet a lot, so I’m sure he’s used to it but to your point there is a lot happening at once for one person to handle.

He was flying N601BN, “The Great Pumpkin”, that gloriously orange beast, arguably the beloved 747 ever, from HNL to DFW, and they waited until after arrival to break the news to your grandmother. I remember thinking how utterly sad, then realizing how precious it was they weren’t thousands of miles apart. They were together, working on board the same aircraft, each of them living their shared dream at the moment he passed. Of course it was a shock I’m sure when she realized he was gone, but yet she was right there when he left. And she could say goodbye in the setting that brought them so much joy over the years. And if you were to ask her, she’d probably say that was how he was meant to go.

      Airline pilot here. In a single pilot operation, sometimes this can get missed. The controller likely declared the emergency for this aircraft due to the situation. Yes, technically he should have, however, it was likely already done for him. He was extremely busy flying the aircraft, briefing everyone, getting setup for the approach, dealing with a possible overweight landing, running checklists, coordinating with paramedics, dealing with Chicago airspace, and much more. I'm sure the FAA will overlook that my friend.

    The captain that died was a DEC (Direct Entry Captain) who was just hired and was flying his IOE (Initial Operating Experience) with a check airmen who is a senior captain in the right seat. That is one reason the right seat captain handled the situation well.
    Direct entry captains are hired when an airline does not have enough first officers that are senior enough to upgrade to captain. So they hire DECs who are usually coming from other part 121 airlines.
    So there were two captains on the aircraft, the most junior one is the one who died. Basically an instructor in the right seat with a student in the left seat who became incapacitated. So less of a dramatic situation then if the first officer was a new hire himself and now had to deal with an incapacitated captain.

Believe it or not, some actually love regional flying which is much more challenging. Lastly, the pilot’s age is unknown.

For this copilot, he did a job, not grate though as he was giving his best to accommodate ATC rather then to fight for his college life. Ideally he should’ve done this:

    As an experienced flight instructor, I disagree with you that you said it was OK for the first officer not to declare an emergency. The FAA has been harping on this subject for some time now. It wouldn't have taken a second for him to say Flight XXX declaring an emergency. Pilots are hesitant to do this and that has caused serious problems in other situations. They fear repercussions from the FAA, but as long as there was a real emergency there will be no repercussions. If you have an emergency DECLAIRE IT.

      Absolutely declare the emergency. Not only priority handling. It’s also your legal way out. You are the PIC. Not ATC, not the FAA, not the company or any University of Google Phd's on aviation.
      ATC can declare the emergency for you. If they warrant it. I don’t know why any airline pilot would be reluctant to declare an emergency. In this case your are doing what is called an "air return", you are not proceeding to destination. Any diversion or return is subject to a company report most likely backed up with ASAP report (FAA) to cover yourself anyway.

      He never once said it was okay, he said he doesn’t fault him for it while he was in that unexpected situation; which means he can sympathize with the Co-Pilot.

    In 1990,my dad died of Sudden Cardiac Death while driving with my mom on the freeway in a Ford passenger van while pulling a 29' travel trailer. They were on vacation at the time. Even though there were paramedics within 2-3 minutes of the scene after diverting from another call to help my dad, there was still nothing they could do. I can't imagine that scenario several thousand feet in the air while flying a plane. Thank the Lord that co-pilot was calm and in control. I would imagine aside from the pilot being unconscious, that he was also the co-pilot's friend and at a bare minimum, a coworker and someone he knew. What a tough situation. I think he did quite admirable for the unexpected and frankly, scary situation he found himself in. My thoughts and prayers go out to the pilot's family and friends. It's not easy to lose a loved one instantly like that. You keep waiting for them to come home and they never do. I pray that God comforts them and helps them through this very difficult and trying time.

      @AlaskaRog 7 месяцев назад +3

      I don’t think the Lord had anything to do with the relatively good outcome of this incident. The First Officer’s training, skills, experience, and a simple but strong desire to not end up as a smoking hole in the ground were the main ingredients to a positive outcome. Those things, along with help from the Flight Attendant and ATC, all trained for this or similar emergency scenarios, are what made the difference.

    The extra-crummy thing for a pilot in this situation is that while the pilots are both trained to fly the airplane, they're trained to do it *with assistance from the other pilot*. One flies, the other operates the radios, runs checklists, etc. This guy had to do everything all by himself.

    UK airlines certainly do train for 'pilot incapacitation'. Involves using cabin crew member to secure or remove the incapacitated pilot, to sit in the jump seat and read check list items if required and to communicate with the cabin crew. Works well and is a regular simulator and ground training day item. I have done this training many times and, from a pilot's viewpoint, is great CRM training.

    We train for it all the time at Air Canada. Pilot incapacitation, how to identify it and react to it. In the simulator the test involves different types of incapacitation; death, unconscious and the hardest one, responses to questions or inaction to events. Can be extremely difficult but if the other pilot suspects something is not correct, three questions in a row with incorrect responses is cause for the “pilot incapacitation” memory items followed by the checklist.
    At Canadian Airlines the call for the pilot flying at 500 feet AGL on approach for landing was “Alive at Five”. It was a response to an incident in Japan where the pilot flying died on the approach and was not caught until after landing. Luckily this was an automated landing which the aircraft performed. The automated part of the approach was to be disconnected at 200 feet AGL and was not until the aircraft touched down and the monitoring pilot noticed the incapacitation.
    Who flys a leg is usually alternated between the Captain and the First Officer. They should be trained to do each others job. The next division of labour is relegated to who is flying (pilot flying or PF) and the pilot not flying (pilot monitoring or PM)
    On the 737 the tiller (steering wheel) is on the Captains side only! On the 67, 77, and 87 both pilots have a tiller.

    Retired airline pilot here: Saying that airline pilots don't train for this is WRONG! No rookie pilot is released for line training without a "crew incapacitation" session in the flight simulator.
    The interaction between the pilots from entering the cockpit until climbing to the initial cleared altitude is so intense that not many seconds will pass before the functioning crew member realizes that something is amiss. This situation (crew incapacitation) is practiced regularly in the simulator training so even a rookie first officer should be fairly competent to handle such situations.
    In a case like this, the pilot remaining should call for call for FULL support from ATC - refusing a complicated approach clearance he would then have to execute on his own, just request vectors and full "babysitting" for the approach and landing. Minimizing the workload is what is called for, and ATC will normally be happy to provide it!

    I flew 747s for 30 years and was an instructor and examiner in 747 simulator for 23 of those years. It is practiced and checked on a regular basis. The Captain is told over a private microphone channel at which point he is to have the incapacitation and this may result in either the First Officer rejecting the takeoff if it is recognised by a lack of 80 or 100 knot call before V1 or after takeoff if no response to a gear up request. The F/O will then declare an emergency for immediate return and medical assistance on landing. He or she will then fly the aircraft to a priority approach and is encouraged to auto land to reduce workload. The quicker the Captain receives medical help, the greater the chance of survival in the case of stroke or non fatal heart attack. Call a Mayday.

I don't know the Embraer 175 but the Boeing 737 or the A-320, like the majority of airliners, are certified to be flown by a crew of two persons, if one of the 2 crew members becomes unavailable the aircraft literally looses it's airworthiness in flight and it's a non normal situation, not a big deal honestly but we do train both Captains and First officers for it.
    In my company, for example, it's even forbidden to roster to fly together two crew members if their age it's above 60 (I can't remember now if the age is 60 or 57).
    Very commonly the incapacitation is due to food poisoning, anyway sometimes, like in your video, the cause is quite serious for the person involved...RIP for the poor guy!!

    i was on a flight from chicago to dubai.. a passenger died on board.. the plane landed at a small airport in canada -- pretty much the last stop before we were going to start crossing the atlantic..
    i had no idea anything had happened.. except that we landed...
    probably a good thing they don't announce anything is going on - they just do their jobs..

    You knew he was the right seat pilot when he told the tower that he needed to switch seats in order to taxi.

    Imagine if both pilots had a heart attack.

      Could happen with the mandatory poisoning.

    This F/O did a great job. Cool, calm and effective. Tragic for the captain, but catastrophe avoided for the others.
