Now pilots falling sick more often

Passenger lands plane after pilot falls ill in UK

A courageous passenger with very little flying experience was forced to make an emergency landing of an aircraft in UK, after the pilot fell ill.

During the flight, the pilot made a distress call when he became so sick he was unable to continue flying the aircraft, 'SkyNews' reported.

According to an airport spokesman, two flight instructors from the ground were called in to talk to the passenger and guide him while he took control of the plane.

The passenger had very limited flying experience and had never landed an aircraft before, the spokesman said.

The pilot died later, however, the cause of his death was not known, police said.
