Passenger plane instead planted pilot.

On October 8, an incident occurred at Humberside Airport. At 18.20 a signal was received from a plane that was about to land in North Lincolnshire. The call was made by a pilot who became ill, as a result of which he was unable to control the plane.

He came to the aid of a passenger flying with him. Through consultation on the radio, he was able to put the vessel with several attempts.

According to the instructor, the passenger was the first to fly the plane and was never familiar with its device. The new pilot remained calm. The flight took place in the absence of light in the cockpit.

Neither the passengers nor the pilot were not injured, when making a hard landing.

As it became known later, the pilot, who became ill, died as a result of an unknown reason.

Because of the incident, which occurred in the UK, have been canceled flights from Aberdeen and Amsterdam.

I remembered the book by Arthur Haley "Runway", where the plane was also landed by the passengers a flight attendant.
