This man has the most important quality every pilot should have: self control. He stayed calm, used his his common sense and listened to the controller's advice instead of panicking and letting it go. Kudos, wonderful job!
@I Love Aviation - Burger Club - always open. I just retired from a 45 year pilot career, of which 12 as an instructor and I rarely seen a student doing the landing at the first lesson. I've offered some of them to try but had to take over before or during the flare out most of the time. I can recall a guy or two who lsnded by themselves, just relying on my talking but they were quite talented and exceptional people.
He sounds like he had military experience. He communicated very clearly under pressure-I’ll bet that, at least, he has done before. Amazing. He saved at least two people’s lives, very possibly more.
These two are absolute legends and saved not just two lives but possibly more if the plane had crashed into a populated area. I hope the FAA recognise the ATC/instructor guy with whatever awards can
@Allison Hunter You do not need Lasik for a PPL. The issue is going to be your Asthma, so go get your aviation medical done, if you can acquire at least a 3rd class medical you're good to go. - Certified Flight Instructor.
Being a pilot… I gotta say, some controllers are complete rockstars, and some passengers are complete rockstars… in this situation, both were absolutely complete rockstars!!! Good job to both!
They deserve awards for that bravery. Its amazing that guy could land that plane. He could have a few flying schools want to see he wants to learn how to fly,just a bit better than he already can. Great result🛩
Any landing you walk away from is a good landing. When it's a passenger with zero flying experience that lands the plane and walks away, that's a miracle.
@@ilikewaffles3689 ... not that hard? If he had even a slight crosswind gust without having the right aileron inputs this could have gone bad real fast.. amazing job for ATC and passenger both.
Outstanding that the passenger managed to keep so calm, given the circumstances. Thank goodness he was able to keep a clear head and listen to the instructions ♥️ Such a great story. I really hope the pilot is doing better 🙏 that will be the perfect end to this crazy story.
I see someone below sent prayers for the 1st pilot. Same here. Would be nice to hear how he's doing... not to diminish the hero pilot here. I hope all 3 of them made it through this event and are ok !
First thing I thought about was the commercial where the passenger landed a passenger plane. I have watched this at least ten times. It’s so inspiring and the passenger turned pilot is extremely poised and confident yet humble. God is real. This story is inspiring and I’m going to share in my teamwork classes this semester.
This makes me teary and makes me believe in the beauty of humanity for some reason. Something out of a movie that actually ends beautifully. Props to ALL of these guys. Just awesome. ♥️ This guy needs to go get his flying license! 👏🏽👏🏽
It revives my faith in human beings. When the chips are down, humans can cooperate and achieve wonderful things. Humans at their best. A stark and welcome contrast and antidote to all the negativity, horrendous political squabbling, crime and war that humans commonly indulge and that we see evidence of on TH-cam and elsewhere.
Landing the airplane on the runway smoothly is the most difficult task for a private pilot to learn. My first solo was about 16 hours, so It took me around 15 hours before I could perform a landing well. Landing is more like an art form than a straightforward task. It's amazing to me that this guy landed a big, heavy Caravan so smoothly! I wouldn't be surprised if he has some flight simulator time or has held a control yoke in his hands before.
This guy is incredible. Stays cool and lands a plane!!!! It’s almost unbelievable. The controller was the reason it went so well but the man who landed that plane is one cool customer.
@@Mekinhumbel I agree that happens a lot but this one is on a lot of the media outlets. Still, you’re right. I remember watching “special NASA footage” of the challenger disaster. It was actually a CGI thing from a movie. Fireball in space (where that wouldn’t happen). SO many people believed it.
Oh my God I'm the daughter of a late Cessna pilot and flight instructor for many years and I know my dad would have been so proud of this incredible passenger! What a landing it was absolutely stunningly perfect! And I don't know how he kept his cool but he did! What an extraordinary individual! And so much props and gratitude to the controller/pilot. He saved lives that day! Right along with this passenger turned pilot, with no warning and no preparation! Just extraordinary!
@@YgalSharon truly. And truly amazing you can't even hear shaking in his voice. I think it must have been one of those situations where his brain just flipped a switch to, if we don't stay calm there is no hope and that rode him home. Sometimes as human beings we really do rise to incredible occasions, far far beyond our belief in our own ability to do so.
agreed! so many would crumble under that kind of pressure in a what seems and must’ve felt to be a hopeless situation but he landed that incredibly. most impressive thing i’ve ever seen, i’ve flown a grob-tutor and cessna myself with my time at the air cadets and i know for a fact that even knowing the controls of the plane inside out, i would 100% crack under that kind of pressure so the fact he managed to stay cool and operate a plane he had no knowledge of, and land it safely and that smoothly?. fantastic job to the pilot.
@@darensmith6705 They don’t have to name them and could just say “has been transported to the hospital” or something. I hear that all the time on the news. These are not professionals so they don’t have to abide by it. But they usually won’t name the person until contacting them or the family.
How can that passenger be so calm when he's talking? If that's me, I'll be hyperventilating, screaming, crying rn. Good job for all parties involved especially the passenger 👏
I would be praying to St. Michael the Archangel! He has wings and he knows how to use them too! There is a huge statue of St. Michael the Archangel overlooking a city in Ukraine! He seems to be helping the Ukrainian people deal with the Russians! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Great story about good people I’m so glad they made it safe It’s nothing less than a miracle that they were able to get the plane landed What a great job from the man who helped him do it
I am so shocked and surprised at how the passenger was. I would be freaking out if that happened to me, the pilot had been incapacitated and I would have to land the plane. That is insane.
Sounds like he does a lot of flight sims due to the fact that he understood about "wings level" "1500 feet per minute" and knew how to use the radio. He did a great job not only landing the plane and also for his excellent comms and level head. Time to learn the "real flight" . I'm sure there will be CFIs that will be willing to teach him... He's kinda famous.
Or he's just flown a lot from the passenger seat, you pick up a lot of those surface level things. Still amazing no matter what with zero flying hours himself.
My God how cool was the passenger when talking to tower controller,Hero in my eyes landed that plane like a veteran pilot....excellent job young man praying pilot is ok.
NOT Allowed... to mention the man seated to the right of the Pilot. He's not allowed to be named, he's not allowed to be discussed. Instead, a man from the rear of the plane has to move up and take over. Why the secrecy about the obvious man sitting next to the pilot? What is going on CNN and the Today Show, why the LOUD silence about who that man is?
I think you are misunderstanding. This isn't one of those big airbus/plane that carries lots of passengers, you can see from the video, also the flight controller said he had to go get a manual specifically for the control layout that plane, because it's probably those that are used as "private jets". So of course, you won't have a co pilot in it, and neither an attendant probably.
@@yunsha9986 It's a small plane, a Cessna, they have duplicate controls in that model. Has nothing to do with being commercial etc. You're not explaining why they are protecting the identity of the "friend" and what he did or didn't do to help.

this is a very nice story to hear... fantastic job by the flight instructor/air traffic controller! and, off course, by the passenger! i hope the original pilot made it to a hospital and is still alive...
My uncle used to have a Piper Cub when I was a kid... He had a 1947 Champ a little plane two seater sit behind each other with the pedals and stick... He taught me how to fly that plane he would fly it from the back seat the only thing that he would do is land it... I would have never been able to land that plane if something happened to him.. I was always amazed that he could land it from the back seat cuz you can't see the runway very well
Incredible story. I've been fascinated by this possibility ever since Flight 93. What if? Could the passengers have landed the plane? Really cool to see it actually happen. And the American Airlines pilot's reaction was priceless.
"Don't PANIC!" Words that were told to my father when he was a young Naval officer by his CO. Dad had to help secure his ship during a Hurricane 🌀. Smart advice for many situations!
You can panic when the situation is over. That’s what I tend to do. In an emergency situation I am completely calm and focused, but when it’s over I cry.
Nice story, but some of it sounds fake, if the passenger had zero experience how did he know how to operate the radio?? On TV it said the pilot fell against the controls and the passenger pulled the aircraft out of a dive? The Cessna caravan has Autopilot, there would be NO dive!!
So how did this guy figure out how to communicate with the tower, that's tricky in itself. He definitely was either accustomed to aircraft's by subtle familiarity or is making up a story of being naive.
Not knocking someone’s ability from no experience but I find it very hard to believe that the average member of the populace with ZERO flying experience can actually land an airplane. I’ve taken up over four dozen people in the past 10 years and I’ve allowed most if not all of them to fly the plane and it’s almost a near impossible task for them. But landing a plane????? Every time I hear of a miraculous story like this the so-called civilian had like 30 hours of flight training and never actually completed the training to get the license. 🤨 i’m pretty certain this guy is at least a simmer …………..or something. I know the last six stories I investigated personally of individuals like this landing a plane every one of them had some form of flight experience or were serious flight enthusiast when the story came out alleging that they “didn’t”.
Most commercial airlines practically have that capability with todays technologty. The pilot is there for back-up. I have thought...Why not have the plane be adapted to be operated from the ground (for emergencies like this)..similar to flying a drone?
Most jetliners have what's called "CAT III auto land" capability. On this type of ILS approach the plane actually flies the approach and lands on the runway while the pilots do nothing except monitor the plane & approach/landing. This type of landing is totally automatic, the pilots touch nothing, but planes as small as the Cessna Caravan such as in this video do not have this capability.
Now this is someone who understood the assignment. I would have lead the whole plane attendants in the sinners prayer😳 GREAT JOB MR MORGAN AND TO THE STUDENT VOLUNTEER!!

😱😱😱😱 He seemed very cool, calm and collected. Props to him for keeping his head cool and getting down in one piece. Wow.
Good job, fellas! My hope is that the pilot has recovered and is well.
this is a very nice story to hear...
fantastic job by the flight instructor/air traffic controller!
and, off course, by the passenger!
i hope the original pilot made it to a hospital and is still alive...
That passenger was as cool as ice!
Jesus. I’m an experienced paper airplane pilot and my landings are never as smooth as this guys… kudos!
😂😂🎉🎉 Congratulations on your winning comment 😅😅
*PHENOMENAL* coaching, *PHENOMENAL* Student! _BRAVO!_
My uncle used to have a Piper Cub when I was a kid... He had a 1947 Champ a little plane two seater sit behind each other with the pedals and stick... He taught me how to fly that plane he would fly it from the back seat the only thing that he would do is land it... I would have never been able to land that plane if something happened to him.. I was always amazed that he could land it from the back seat cuz you can't see the runway very well
Was the Champ an Aronca? My dad had one.
This was the first time I've ever given CNN a thumbs up.
Wow! It's like something straight out of a Hollywood movie! Congrats to both the instructor and the passenger. What an experience that ended so well.
@Curious Cat Might still qualify. He apparently had a pregnant wife at home.
This is awesome and exactly the kind of story I needed to hear about.
Incredible story. I've been fascinated by this possibility ever since Flight 93. What if? Could the passengers have landed the plane? Really cool to see it actually happen. And the American Airlines pilot's reaction was priceless.
he is very calm when facing the situation salute his bravery
"Don't PANIC!" Words that were told to my father when he was a young Naval officer by his CO. Dad had to help secure his ship during a Hurricane 🌀. Smart advice for many situations!
You can panic when the situation is over. That’s what I tend to do. In an emergency situation I am completely calm and focused, but when it’s over I cry.
Wow, even that landing was aces! Kuddos to Cool Hand Luke and Mr. Morgan, you two made a great team!
Amazing job by all parties involved especially the Man onboard that landed safely & The Air traffic Control/Pilot/Flight instructor! Well Done 👏🏼👍🏼
Thank GOD for the controller being able to talk him down safely
Nice story, but some of it sounds fake, if the passenger had zero experience how did he know how to operate the radio?? On TV it said the pilot fell against the controls and the passenger pulled the aircraft out of a dive? The Cessna caravan has Autopilot, there would be NO dive!!
How is this guy able to be this calm ??? Unbelievable. This is one of the reasons he was able to land
Yaaaay, good on you mate, like miracle on the hudson only better! what a team you, the flight tower/instructor and God 😊
PERFECT FIRST LANDING FOR A PILOT WITH ZERO FLYING HOURS, GREAT CLASS!
So how did this guy figure out how to communicate with the tower, that's tricky in itself. He definitely was either accustomed to aircraft's by subtle familiarity or is making up a story of being naive.
Good job and i know the passengers were thankful as well. I hope the pilot made a recovery
Not knocking someone’s ability from no experience but I find it very hard to believe that the average member of the populace with ZERO flying experience can actually land an airplane. I’ve taken up over four dozen people in the past 10 years and I’ve allowed most if not all of them to fly the plane and it’s almost a near impossible task for them. But landing a plane????? Every time I hear of a miraculous story like this the so-called civilian had like 30 hours of flight training and never actually completed the training to get the license. 🤨 i’m pretty certain this guy is at least a simmer …………..or something. I know the last six stories I investigated personally of individuals like this landing a plane every one of them had some form of flight experience or were serious flight enthusiast when the story came out alleging that they “didn’t”.
Simulation and instructions, my friends
Thank God they are safe
When you owe someone a beer :,)
I think this man found his calling. Time to sign up for flight school. Great job!!
Hopefully planes will become so sophisticated that they can land in autopilot for these kinds of emergencies. Maybe in a hundred years?
Most commercial airlines practically have that capability with todays technologty. The pilot is there for back-up. I have thought...Why not have the plane be adapted to be operated from the ground (for emergencies like this)..similar to flying a drone?
Most jetliners have what's called "CAT III auto land" capability. On this type of ILS approach the plane actually flies the approach and lands on the runway while the pilots do nothing except monitor the plane & approach/landing. This type of landing is totally automatic, the pilots touch nothing, but planes as small as the Cessna Caravan such as in this video do not have this capability.
Congratulations on a successful first flying lesson!
Glad he played gta
I really searched it up to see if it was real💀
I LOVE THIS!! GREAT JOB Mr. Morgan and brave passenger. Well done.
Now this is someone who understood the assignment. I would have lead the whole plane attendants in the sinners prayer😳 GREAT JOB MR MORGAN AND TO THE STUDENT VOLUNTEER!!
The passenger is so calm
