    What a great story. The non-pilot (impromptu pilot) passenger sounds like a smart guy. He listens. He takes things in. His radio comms were top-notch, and he remained calm. He may be a "non-pilot" but clearly, he has been exposed to aviation and knows more than the average ground-dweller. Well done to him for taking control of the situation and seeking the help he required.
    Of course, well done to the controllers who gave him that assistance.

    Biggest words mentioned “dont give up. Stay calm. Fight till the end”
    Remember this for any in-flight emergency. It goes back to the old saying-“Aviate, Navigate, Communicate“
    Most emergencies you hear pilots jump on the coms to declare the emergency. You have to take care of yourself first. Breath. Fly the airplane. When things are under control, find somewhere to land immediately. Then declare the emergency.

    Great story with several heroes! I'm guessing the pilot had a stroke. He is doubly lucky to be alive because he couldn't have gotten medical attention that soon after the medical incident. It must have taken at least 20 minutes to turn around, fly back to the coast, descend, and maneuver for an orderly landing. But the pilot not only lived but seemed fully recovered in the interview.
    I'm sure the controller had his heart in his mouth when the image disappeared from the radar screen, but of course it's common to lose radar contact as you approach the ground. I'm amazed they kept a good signal down to 300 AGL.

    Amazing story. It had so many lessons in it actually. I think the one thing I took away was if you're going to be flying and you're the only one who actually is a pilot, you should at least have a familiarity conversation with another person or people who may be faced with dealing with the airplane if you're not conscious. It's a strange thing to think of, but it was critical Darren had heard enough, and thought enough, to understand to not kill them by "over" responding. It's not a video game. And to the general public who have no experience actually controlling a plane, it might be treated that way.

I don’t recall specifically all of his transmissions, but as the ATC controller mentioned, Darren communicated in a way that was consistent with how well many PPs do. I specifically recall him telling ATC he was passing through a certain altitude and leveling off at another. There were other communications he made that seemed very suspect that he had no training. Lastly, his landing was just a tad too good for someone with no training. So my opinion is that he had some time on the stick whether formal or informal. My belief is that this whole incident is somewhat embellished. But that’s only my opinion.

    What a wonderful story. Glad everyone made it out okay. You can't help but chuckle though. The national news made it sound like this guy had never even seen a general aviation airplane.
    But his radio calls start with the N number. Talking about airspeed, rate of descent, and altitude like a pro. Pulled the thing out of a dive smoothly and grease the landing.
    Now clearly the guy wasn't a licensed pilot but word is he had lots of time sitting right seat with his buddy flying back and forth across the ocean to the Bahamas. Like he didn't have hours upon hours to get a little hand flying in (who doesn't love letting their non-pilot buddies grab the yolk and do a little flying), ask a million questions about all the controls, and generally have way more sense than your average off the street bumpkin.
    Hell of an accomplishment, but it's a shame some of those key facts were sort of left out because of the more sensationalistic narrative.
    Student pilots with multiple lessons under their belt would be hard pressed to be that calm on the radios, be spouting off the facts about the aircrafts state of flight, call out and fly headings, and grease a landing.
    Once again glad all of the three amigos are okay.

    Anyone know what happened to the pilot? Was it a stroke?

    Is it any wonder he didn't want to do interviews anymore? Look at some of the incredibly toxic comments here. There are literally people who are enraged that others dare to praise his actions because it's somehow cheating that he has friends with their own airplanes that let him sit right-seat and observe. It's honestly frightening to see the level of vitriol some people have.

      I agree with you, but the anger and frustration is more because Darren is being deceptive about how much experience he had.

    • @hotsoup1001

      @thomashind4835 no, the anger and frustration is because of fanboys from a certain aviation UA-camr who started this whole thing.

    It seems like this guy has previous aviation experience or just some exposure to it. Theres no way he had absolutely no idea about an airplane. Nevertheless he did a great job

    Not cool! Why didn't he go unconscious? I thought perhaps carbon monoxide. But clearly not because he was in ICU for so long. Would be nice if they explained it.

    Neither of these is relevant to telling the story of how a plane got to the ground. Nevertheless, they are frustrating omissions:
    1) Should include, with the benefit of hindsight what the medical emergency was. Come on. Stroke I assume?
    2) Should include something about the pilot's recovery. Can he fly now? Is he impaired?

      This question has been answered in previous comments. Ken suffered an aortic aneurysm. Thankfully, he’s since fully recovered and is now back to flying.

      I was offering feedback with respect to the video itself. I do appreciate you offering the update in the comments however!@@AirSafetyInstitute

    i think the guy must have had at least a basic understanding about flying.

    Never take yourself out of the fight. God may take you out(dead or unconscious) but your should never choose to give up.
