Classic British Flight Sim

"April 15, 2009 - This is the full audio and radar video of this event -

In what can only be called a miracle, several air traffic controllers in Southern Florida helped in trying to guide a twin engine plane to a landing after its pilot died. A passenger had to fly the aircraft all during a heavy traffic push due to the holiday. "

Warning - this runs for 38+ minutes but if your fascinated by events such as this you will find it worthwhile. The passenger who flew the plane did have a little VFR experience on single engines.

Fascinated is a good word. The non-pilot sounded like a bit of a red neck He did a good job though as did the controllers so hats off to them all

Yes, I listened to all of that...They all did a good job...I noted that there were five souls on board...I bet three of them were very nervous

Yes, the pilot was a bit of a red neck. I kept thinking that if that guy had used FS, he would probably have had less trouble with the autopilot - just click the right buttons & knobs or use the mouswheel to change heading and altitude.

Peter, maybe four other souls that were nervous - I would not count the deceased pilot as a soul, but maybe the substitute pilot did.
