Palm Beach International Airport is located in the state of Florida in the United States. A strange incident took place at this station yesterday. The pilot suddenly fainted while a 14-seater Cessna was flying over the sea. The shocked passenger was the only one to fly the plane safely and land at the airport.

Unbeknownst to the passenger, he landed the plane on the orders of control room officials, accompanied by a fellow passenger.

While the plane was flying 70 miles from Florida airport, a report came to the flight control room. In it, a passenger speaks with a flutter, "The pilot has fainted. What to do now?" The officers froze in shock.

Officers who immediately searched the area continued to talk to the passenger, who began to explain how to follow the beach and operate the aircraft. The passenger then stated that he "did not know anything about operating the plane."

"I've got a serious situation here," the unidentified passenger said according to audio from Live Air Traffic. "My pilot has gone incoherent, and I have no idea how to fly the airplane."

Air traffic control advised the passenger to follow the Florida coast north or south until they were able to locate the plane.

“Have you guys located me yet?” the passenger asked. “I can’t even get my nav screen to turn on. It has all the information on it. You guys have any ideas on that?”'

“Try to follow the coast either north or southbound,” the controller said. “We’re trying to locate you.”

After four minutes, the passenger asked: “Have you guys located me? I can’t even get my nav screen to turn on. It has all the information on it. You guys have any ideas on that?”

Air traffic control located the plane, which was off Boca Raton. The air traffic controller proceeded to guide the passenger through the descent, saying: “Try to hold the wings level and see if you can start descending for me, push forward on the controls and descend at a very slow rate.”

In a separate recording, another air traffic controller can be heard telling pilots: “You just witnessed a couple of passengers land that plane.” “Did you say the passengers landed the plane?” an American Airlines pilot asked. “Oh my God. Great job.”
