I know this would be impossible and dangerous to do, but if the pilot did a little tap with the wingtip. The other pilot would probably wake up by the jolt 😁.
Good to hear that ATC pulled the plug on that flight. He thought he could keep going, but they were having none of it. Good call, and I hope he thanked them for the "inconvenience".
It’s crazy how we can hear the lack of lucidity in his voice and how it comes back while descending and reactivating his mental charge due to the coming landing
Lack of oxygen. Experienced the same on a prolonged fl100 flight without oxygen. After a few minutes at 4000 and below I was luckily able to make a good enough landing.
his change in mental state has nothing to do with the impending landing other than heading in for a landing lowered his altitude, increasing the oxygen - he was suffering from hypoxia
@@brians9508thats what we are saying… when he is high, he suffers hypoxia and you hear it in his voice by the lack of lucidity. but when he comes down: more oxygen + more mental load = he returns to an approximative “normal” state at the end of the flight
I thought i head it mentioned that it was the low fuel alarm. Im guessing it wasnt a significant issue given he was going into land. Could have been a little bit more of an issue if he went 30 mins more and fell asleep again
@@Kittsuera But he said he had lots of fuel left for another hour, before they made him come down. But it goes to his mental clarity that he did not tell ATC what the alarm was. He didn't think of that. So scary.
Right? He also withheld the nature of his issue, you know, the reason he overflew his destination by over an hour, wasnt answering atc, and had a plane following him. These people should not be babied.
@@Osiris57At the end of the video it says he didn't have enough rest the previous night and was not using enough oxygen at 11k feet leading to mild hypoxia (lack of oxygen) and him falling asleep
Not hard to fall asleep under the right conditions. Boredom, environmental conditions, no external stimulus and smooth flight with autopilot on. Even 2 pilot airline crews have fallen asleep at the wheel.
Lack of oxygen can mess with your body/brain quite a bit, even if you have been in that situation a bunch of times and not had a problem. Staying for an extended time at 12k+ ft elevation can be tough.
I agree. The obvious symptom of the slurred speech, sounding almost drunk made me immediately think hypoxia. This has nothing to do if the pilot got adequate sleep the previous night and more to do with the fact oxygen wasn't being used properly at that altitude. This is also why he felt he was still fine to continue flying because he was slowly becoming conscious again and not actually "tired".
But not enough to have the idea to tell ATC what that alarm sounding off was. He just said it was fine. Which is not good enough. A bet that ATC was just sweating bullets those last few minutes. He earned his pay double that day!
🤣Doubtful. FL110 can induce mild hypoxia, and coupled with fatigue from inadequate rest can result in a pilot going to sleep. It almost happened to me a couple times, but I'm very anal about getting proper rest before flying. Given his circumstances, he probably had a long chat with whoever the aviation authority is in AU, along with a mountain of paperwork.
Flydoc is a real one, its kinda like hearing mayday when I was on a boat for a bit. Everyone comes to help no matter what the boat size or how long it takes if you are close.
Indeed, I got down to a blood oxygen level of 75%, and it wasn't until someone asked me what my address was and I couldn't remember, that I even realised anything was wrong. It's very weird and definitely sneaks up on you like you say.
yup must concur-my greatest joy is being in the back of our king air while my son flies and i lay on the couch with up to 3 grand kids,all of us asleep like a rock...heaven
I need meds to get on a plane and not have an anxiety attack. Sleeping...no. Passed out on meds...probably. Otherwise, it's just too nerve racking. Never comfortable flying. Especially on small planes.
That's why I don't fly much anymore. You can't even take a nap without ATC and other aircraft getting all up in your business. I miss the good ol days.
KISS, keep it simple. Just hang a small ball on a piece of string in front of your nose. If the aircraft starts to decend, the ball hits your face and wakes you up.
@@rafbarkway5280We just call them napping buddies. Skilled Co-pilots, 1st Officers are fine to have in a pinch...but a good napping buddy makes the job enjoyable.
Top work from the King Air pilot. He knew to stay with the Caravan until it was on the ground just in case he had to report a crash site. You can hear the Caravan guy slowly getting more cognitive as he descended to lower altitudes. I hope they met later, the King Air pilot probable saved this mans life tonight.
Just like truck drivers, falling asleep is a major risk and very dangerous. Its almost like oxygen deprivation... not recognizing your situation until its too late.
So what's happened here for most people who didn't know is that the pilot of DQP suffered hypoxia meaning shortness of oxygen to the brain, so with the pilot's brain having minimal oxygen, the pilot would struggle to speak, think and etc. If you noticed as the pilot was approach YBCG, you may of heard alarms which YBCG approach did question if everything was alright. Because the pilot is suffering from hypoxia he thinks everything is fine when really his alarms are telling him he is dangerously running low on fuel. I am certain too that earlier when he said "1 Hour and 10 Mins left of fuel" that is most likely false.
Crazy how a simple mistake can turn into a situation that could go either way. I was fully expecting this video to end with him going down in the middle of the Ocean but nah he just woke up, turned around, and landed. Nice and simple resolve to something that had the potential to be a whole lot worse.
(pilot moments after being woken up, asked if he can land at closest airport): DQP... negative. I have endurance to continue to Redcliffe. Good thing they convinced him to land at Gold Coast. He could have fallen asleep again if he tried Redcliffe.
The flight was at 11000 feet. That is only 1500 feet below the level where oxygen is required. Something do to a cold or other ailments you might need oxygen at a lower altitude. I’m guessing hypoxia might be a factor.
These things used to happen on commercial aircraft. Many years ago the crew of an Air Ferry plane flying out of Manston both fell asleep, luckily there wasn't an accident.
He was not under their control. They do not control the airplane. ATC did the right thing. The pilot had some incapacitation. It ended well. @@rumbecker5085
I hope that Cessna pilot looked up the other pilot and thanked him, bought him dinner and offered to pay for some fuel. Respect to 425 helping and staying with him until he knew he was down safe and.. respect to ATC for doing all he did and cutting the guys flight short despite the pilots desire to carry on. Good call.
I got down to a blood oxygen level of 75%, and it wasn't until someone asked me what my address was and I couldn't remember, that I even realised anything was wrong. Hypoxia definitely sneaks up on you without you realising what is going on.
I can tell you from experience that hypoxia can begin to take affect at much lower altitudes than published. Your overall lifestyle -stress, lack of sleep, lack of exercise/cardio, drinking habits, diet, etc., have a cumulative effect on your body's ability to withstand hypoxia. I can remember early on in my flight career flying passengers every Friday evening from Chicago to upper Wisconsin in an unpressurized Piper Navajo - at 8,000 MSL my co-pilot told me to look in the back - all the passengers were sleeping soundly. "What a wonderful flight!" they said. :)
I think he was mildly hypoxic. Even after he came to he didn’t seem totally with it. Tired and mild hypoxia will put you to sleep like a baby. And you can tell he was really having to think hard about things like how much gas he had.
*Flydoc 425:* _"YBBN Approach, we're alongside the aircraft and the chap appears to have a 'Do Not Disturb' sign hanging in his window. I was gonna beep my horn at him, but he does have the sign, so I didn't wanna disturb him."_ Poor guy was probably exhausted from having to repeat "Delta Quebec Papa." Say that 5 times quickly.
This happened to my buddy. I landed where we were supposed to and I noticed him continue so gave her the beans and took back off I had to get ridiculously close to wake him up 😂.
He should have been below 4km oxygen required level so the hypoxia mush have been very mild. It must be a combination of multiple factors that got him.
@@KirillissimusI can only relate from hiking up Mt.Kenya up to approx. 4.5km. Had no problem with Hypoxia, always felt great, but every step of the way became much more of an effort. Maybe this guy was not as acclimatized to that height.
Delta Quebec Papa. I remember when i was 1 Whiskey 4 Papa Charley. Armchair pilot. And it was on Hippy Happy Germany. A server for FSX flight simulator, with the best bot available at the time. Testili made sure of that. that was a fun time
Flying long trips solo can catch a pilot. Recalling a long distance VFR flight across parts of Canada westbound in warm, hazy conditions facing the afternoon Sun….once I realized I was dozing off I opened both side windows ( a lot of noise and wind) and landed shortly afterwards.
This was too real for me. While flying at altitude in a Caravan my pilot dozed off. We started climbing and with him asleep when I woke him up. He didn't recognize that we had a problem until we got to a lower altitude.

Agreed.
Spot on!
Are the rules different in Australia? In my country ATC can only advise. The actual final say is up to the pilot in command.
@@mikoto7693 Not rights in Australia, even in Canada ATC could not do that.
Flydoc 425's next fuel up after landing better have been on the house, with a complimentary vending machine snack
Yeah right 👍
Just bill it to the pilot of DQP.
I was thinking the same thing! That better be a free refueling.
Maybe in Aussi-land, but in the states, they’ll probably charge him extra for his landing and FBO services.
@@mebeingU2 😮💨 You're probably correct.
Flydoc 425 was clutch in staying with the Cessna. This could have been worse. ATC remaining vigilant, thanks for this video!
Flydoc is one of the Royal Flying Doctor Service guys - they truly are heroes. Have known them to go to amazing lengths to get patients to care.
If I were the Cessna pilot I’d want to find the FlyDoc pilot and thank him in person for his help.
That air traffic controller did an amazing job! He and the guy following the Caravan deserves all the credit for that sleepy pilots safety.

What an extraordinary sequence of events. The Flydoc pilot was a saviour I salute him and hope his company recognise what he did.

As a passenger, i can fall asleep fast in a caravan... but a super caravan will give me adrenaline overload for the day!
ahhh. A plane went there and held hands with the older plane till hey were both safe..
My immediate thought was hypoxia and it got weird when he said "we" because I was pretty sure he was alone in the Cessna
Due to all the day shots, I did not realize until past half the video this was occurring at night; up your game.
The incident took place in the afternoon
I take my hat off to the flight controlers and the pilot that assisted them in intercepting that Cessna.
Icey conditions, I can't imagine that around Brisbane, I'd believe if you said his wings were melting from the heat.
ATC may have very well saved that pilot's life.
This was too real for me. While flying at altitude in a Caravan my pilot dozed off. We started climbing and with him asleep when I woke him up. He didn't recognize that we had a problem until we got to a lower altitude.
