The skies can get pretty lonesome, so pilots care a lot about the safety of each other- including those who become pilots through happenstance.

Gotta love the pilot at the airport waiting to take off "alright holding" "wait did you said a passenger landed the plane"? It's not something you hear everyday.

In the past my brain did a hard switch into pure logic mode, It feels like an auto pilot for the fight or flight response. Going through the steps while keeping the emotions in check. I wonder if that's what happened with the passenger here.

Someone said in a different thread that he actually had 100 hours training at this point (which is why he knew how to talk on the radio properly etc.).

His fight, flight or freeze instincts kicked in

@@ElSenorCarnicero I prefer to use my common sense (you should try it sometime)… Just because he had 100 hours training doesn’t mean that he flew in that training. No person off the street just instinctively knows how to do radio communication like that off the bat without training.

@@anti-ethniccleansing465 I was wondering if he was a navigator or something. But that makes more sense. I have an old high school acquaintance who had several hundred hours on the simulator but had yet to fly. They have a requirement of hours on the simulator and several other tests I believe. That was a couple of years ago. Hopefully he’s following his dreams still. Any experience is better than none! So happy this ended well for the passengers.

Thankfully they managed to hook the passenger up to a flight instructor via telephone, they were understandably struggling with the radio and this may have gone poorly otherwise. Thankfully, if all you need to do is steer and adjust the speed while someone talks you through the steps, most people will probably be able to land a plane successfully since that part of flying is relatively straightforward.

Man I thought I was the only one 😅

He apparently had 100 hours of flying experience lmao

@@Tom3kkkthat’s another person

Just came here from the Mentour Pilot video that does an amazing job (as always) breaking down the entire series of events. The passenger who landed the plane did not have any flying experience or prior instruction whatsoever. He had been a passenger on several small Cessna planes recently and had asked the pilots some questions, but knew nothing about the controls or instruments. The only thing he knew, which is insanely miraculous, is that he needed to pull the plane out of its dive (after the pilot passed out) gently so as to not strain the aircraft & rip it apart. Because he couldn't find the right controls to change his frequency, Palm Beach ATC (including the flight instructor who talked him through the approach & landing, Morgan) had to dig out an old emergency radio to contact him. Even more incredibly, Morgan actually had never flown that type of Cessna before, so other controllers quickly printed out the 2 possible instrument layouts for him to use as a reference. The final component of this miracle is that the pilot survived. His aorta had ruptured and his heart was pumping blood into his chest cavity. According to several EMTs/emergency medical workers, about 50% of people who experience this die on the way to the hospital. It is astoundingly lucky that this pilot lived long enough for the plane to land and rescue personnel were able to get him to the right place for life-saving surgery.

Yes! It would be nice if more of our society could take example.

That’s why they have those jobs. Cool heads

It probably really helps that acting up or getting impatient could cost someone their pilot's license that took a lot of time and money to get.

A person is smart, people are dumb, dangerous, panicky animals. Get one or two persons on their own, they'll typically be calm and collected. Drama comes from crowds

@@magonus195 Seems like the other people on the plane were making him that way. He seemed to calm down a bit when he was talking to ATC.

@@DONUT2858 he had some cockpit hours, but didn’t have a license according to a commenter. That explains his basic knowledge

Maybe even turbo props

Exactly, he "has no idea how to fly a plane" yet knows how to report his descent rate and all the other jazz.

Not saying he didn't do a good job, but I think the general idea of what kind of input does what to a plane is pretty common knowledge. All my experience was from video games, but when I had the chance to use the military's FFS that they can do qualifications on for the A-400M I could manage to "fly" and land it with minimal instructions.

If Inremeber correctly, he actually had no idea how to fly and just talked to the pilot beforehand and watched him do things. I think I saw that in the mentour pilot video.

@@olmmel must be a quick learner. I guess he had some experience with a plane and probably enough to understand that he does not know how to fly.

I think they probably talked about the most important instruments on the plane. I would be very interested in that stuff too if I sat next to a pilot. Short term memory of most people is pretty good and he knew only the most basic things: altitude, heading and rate of climb/descent. Pretty sure these are also the biggest instruments on the plane.

there should be a big red button label emergency that would set the transponder to the right right thing, and maybe even put insctruction on the screen for next steps.

On the planes I’ve been in the front of the button is on the steering wheel so to speak

@@Kafj302 There was a plane that had that. Squawked 7700, automatically transmitted a pre-recorded emergency call on 121.5 (emergency frequency), gave instructions to the passengers, and automatically landed the plane at the nearest airport. Technology has come a long way, but such a system would be expensive, even if it weren't proprietary and only in one company's planes. That said, I do think the transmit button is fairly easy to find. Usually red and on the yoke/joystick. I feel like ATC could have explained how to find the transponder and how to switch radio frequencies better, though. Tell them it's the thing that says 7000 on it (or... I think it's 1200 in the US? Not sure), that would also make finding the IDENT button much easier, since it's on the same device. Switching frequency requires you to input the frequency using a coaxial knob that non-pilots won't be familiar with. Mention the frequency it is currently on to make finding the radio easier, explain how the knob works and finally explain how you need to actually hit the switch button. (Maybe after confirming the correct frequency was entered - don't want to lose comms)

Eh in a cesna looks like he could have managed a highway landing even without navigation, he'd be dead if he couldn't see the coast and didnt have a compass or good enough location though.

You have to think... There are people who have never even used a radio, read a compass or altimeter... This isn't easy no matter how you look at it. If anyone on that plane could do it then we wouldn't be watching this video.

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!

And the craziest part, which most newscasters either didn't know about or completely ignored, was how he managed to pull out of a steep, banked dive without ripping the wings off. Ya boi is a baller, through and through.

Not on the version that I just watched was there a “whole story”. There’s not even a slight hint how they were able to coach him how to land the plane, other than the fact that the obviously were successful. Did he ever dial the phone number they kept giving him, (with no response)? Did he ever level off at 5000’. (He seemed not to understand this straightforward instruction. How did he progress from not understanding what it meant to descend to 5000 to being able to land the plane? ) I realize he must have been panicked. But still. Did he ever ask, what’s a transponder? Did he ever ask, how do I tune the radio. I have NO IDEA what happened other than that they were ultimately successful.

@@MendTheWorld it's tunnel vision, inexperienced people in any field where you feel like you could potentially die do it subconsciously, my guess is he focused hard on his descent rate and keeping wings level, the instructor would have pulled him out of it for landing. And I can say from first hand experience you don't mean to tunnel vision like that, when I was a teenager, 17, I had the once in a lifetime experience to be in the co pilots seat on an ex army helicopter in aus on the farm I went to regularly when visiting my dad. The legend pilot asked if I ever wanted to try fly I said yes. Briefly explained what stuff done, asked if I understood then said your controls. Apparently it took me around 20 minutes of him directing me what to do before I actually started focusing on more than one thing. To me it felt like only a minute or two before I actually looked out the cockpit window. Made me want to fly those beasts in the military. Decided instead to fracture my spine before basic shutting down that career path quickly, later decided that making a recovery was over rated, and my job was more valuable than my life/health and became disabled.

@@azazeldeath oh god, very unpleasant story you’ve lived through, as i can say.

Yeah, I kind of noticed that too, but maybe he's done a lot of flight simulator training. That would help.

Yes and I think it’s more so that way because planes can be like bombs in the sky. If someone got too emotional and made a mistake or was mentally unstable they could cause tons of death and destruction with the plane alone. They are trained similar to hostage negotiators to be able to be very empathic its cool stuff actually

Coz it was the pilot himselft

@@nostraware The actual pilot became ill before passing out, then the *passenger* Darren Harrison communicated with air traffic controllers for guidance, and he said that he had no flying experience. This is obviously amazing but a lot of people are forgetting to credit Robert Morgan (the flight attendant / air traffic controller) for giving a good explanation on how to operate the plane (Cessna 208 Caravan) This whole time the pilot was unconscious. It was a passenger, not the pilot. Just thought I’d clear that up

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

Mentour Pilot recently did a simulator talk-down with Tom Scott inspired by this incident, might want to check that out too.

This is not the first time a passenger has landed a plane. I don't remember the details of the other events but they are out there on youtube if you are interested. The one thing that made them possible is that the passengers at least had some interest in aviation and knew how to get on the frequency, as long as you can communicate the necessary bits about touching down without a fireball can be communicated back to you.

@Harry Potter When I started flying as a cabin crew first time I got into the cockpit and had a bit of time there I asked the pilots to teach me how to handle the radio, change altitude and explain the steps how to land on autopilot. Then the Helios tragedy happened and I learned all of it by heart I was so scared of such scenario. I still believe all crew members should be instructed on how to use the radio and the emergency frequency as the bare minimum. I know this one was a Cessna, but remember the Helios. I don’t fly any more but it reassured me I would at least have a chance to survive in such a scenario. Am still grateful I never had to actually try. 😅
