The Cessna 208 registration VH-DQP was on its flight planned track from Cairns to Redcliffe (YRED) at flight level 110, when the pilot first contacted Brisbane air traffic control. The controller lost contact with the pilot 10 minutes later and the aircraft overflew its planned destination. The controller suspected the pilot had become incapacitated and another aircraft followed the 208 in an attempt to gain contact with the pilot.
After communication was established, Cessna 208 was cleared to descend and diverted to Gold Coast Airport (YBCG), where it landed safely.

When the pilot said he wanted to continue to Redcliffe I was sat here shouting "No, no, no no, something' sounds very wrong!". When air traffic said 'No, we'd like you to land at Gold coast' I applauded. I'm so glad they did that, 100% the right decision!
I saw this on one of the other ATC channels, I think VASAviation? The comments were pretty sure that ATC asking what the pilot wanted to do was 100% a test. They were never going to let him leave the airspace, but gave him a chance to make the decision himself. When he wanted to continue on, they knew it was serious enough to impair his judgement and essentially declared it an emergency.
I’ve heard an oxygen deprived pilot, barely functioning or controlling his aircraft-deviating from his altitude by a thousand feet or more, etc. insisting to ATC in slurred speech that he should continue a several hour flight at altitude. They made some excuse to convince him to descend to 8,000. After a minute or so at 8,000, he was ready to land anywhere close.
@16:00 when he starts talking, what is that alarm in the back ground? I'm not familiar with Caravans.
@@acolytetojippity ATC don't 'test' pilots in flight.. They offer options and make suggestions... You don't know what you're talking about
Yes but It would have been so much better if they give him lower altitude as soon as he was back on frequency.
Great job by the controller. He really saved his life. It is amazing how different the pilot sounded after he descended.
It is amazing that ppl who sound drunk are only in need for some good ole O2!!!!
The ATSB found that the pilot was likely experiencing a level of fatigue due to inadequate sleep the night before and leading up to the incident. Further, operating at 11,000 ft with intermittent use of supplemental oxygen likely resulted in the pilot experiencing mild hypoxia. This likely exacerbated the pilot’s existing fatigue and contributed to the pilot falling asleep.
Sounded like a minor stroke to me
@@juliemanarin4127 That's not what the ATSB found.
@@juliemanarin4127 I thought that at first too due to his being spatially aware to recognize the other aircraft but not properly respond to their gestures.
ATC and Flydoc were splendid! ATC was right to be as forceful as he was, and Flydoc was excellent in his intercept and attempts to get the pilot’s attention. Bravo Zulu!
Probably the most literal Flying Doctor call-out ever.
Love how assertive ATC was in not allowing him to continue.
We prefer you land at Gold Coast (Read: you'll be landing at Gold Coast.)
Such politeness! Um, we'd really really prefer if you would please land at Gold Coast, ok? Pretty please?
I'm gonna be dreaming about "Delta Quebec Papa" for a week after this damn video.
It sounded like hypoxia, a lack of oxygen in his blood stream, possibly due to a pressurisation issue while flying at FL 110. As he descended to below 10000 ft, there was enough oxygen in his blood and he began to sound better. He was so very lucky to survive that. Well done to everyone involved in his recovery.
Caravans aren’t pressurized. FL110 is 11,000 ft., so he never ‘descended’ below 12,000 ft. Hypoxia can come on at any altitude. This is an example on how it’s important to check yourself before every flight (Stress, sleep, sick, etc.).
Robert, You need to do more research before making comments like this Lol...
FL110 is 11000ft. And caravan is not pressurized as said before.
@@codyscott1993 There are 4 stages of hypoxia, here is one of them - "Complete Compensatory Stage, 1,500 - 3,500 m (5,000 - 11,400 ft)
Visual sensitivity at night is decreased by 10 percent at 1,500 m (5,000 ft) and by 30 percent at 3,000 m (10,000 ft). Performance of new tasks may be impaired due to memory issues. The nervous system, however, is able to maintain its primary functions and performance, for the most part, is unaffected. - source Flight Safety Foundation. I hold a pilot's licence and I will correct the typing error in my comment". Please see Eric's comments below.
@@Terminator2310 Excellent info. Thanks
If they suspect hypoxia, why not tell him to descent immediately?
Dude didn't even sound normal until descent to land. He's 1 lucky dude ATC and Flydoc was able to follow or he be fish food.
Outstanding team work! I love how ATC asked/told him to go to Gold Coast. Flydoc 425 was fantastic.. they saved his life.
He overflew Redcliffe by about 30 minutes! He was not okay to continue to fly to Redcliffe.
Thank you so much for putting this all together. Its really useful for learning ATC communication . I am currently taking an AROC course.
I remember hearing this story on the news. Thanks for bringing it to life for us and giving us a better understanding of what was going on.
Never heard the "Oxygen, Oxygen, Oxygen" radio call before this.
What does it mean?
@@mywristuncut Sometimes when you're hypoxic you aren't aware of it, so the call is to get the pilot aware that he needs to use his oxygen. Also I think the audio from 123.0 was not recorded for the video, so that's why you can't hear the oxygen call.
I know the Aussie accent can be a little hard to understand, so well done for most of it, but there are lot of transcription errors in this one. Funniest one: At 16:51 "there will be fire tender vehicles in front of the tower with flashing lights" not "5-10 vehicles" :)
Hats off (as usual) to wonderful guys and girls at the Royal Flying Doctor Service
Is THAT what FlyDoc is?! Awesome!! Then they were DEFINITELY the ones to have tracking this guy! Thanks for putting those two pieces of info together for me! To confirm, “FlyDoc” (425) is the call sign for the Royal Flying Doctor Service?
@@jesse00pno yup
Kudos to FlightDoc and ATC for watching him and guiding him down. At first I was thinking Oxygen deprivation or worse case a stroke. But once he lowered altitude he sounded less disoriented. Glad he was able to safely land. Definitely scary.
15:12 - 15:18, the dude literally has alerts warnings in his cockpit, then the alerts escalate to more serious ones at 16:16 - he surely is all good
Sometimes alerts like that are normal. I'm not familiar with this aircraft type, but in my airplane I always get a loud gear warning buzzer as I pull the pull the power back to slow to gear extension speed.
Something was definitely not right with the pilot though!
@@cgtbrad Good point. On Boeing jets, the sound made when autopilot disconnects (whether intentional or not) is a horrifying and obnoxiously loud 'bwoop' that repeats until you tell it to shut up. There's nothing inherently wrong with the autopilot being disconnected, but the plane is designed to make damn sure the pilots know about it. Various warning sounds in planes are terrifying to people who don't understand 'em, but those who do know 'em can distinguish between 'pay attention to this' sounds and 'you boutta die, boi' sounds.
@@hauntedshadowslegacy2826 correct. People are typically horrible at monitoring things, so aircraft make absolute certain that you cant miss something safety critical
Fatigue/ CO in the cabin/ hypoxia - or a mixture of all three. Quite possible he was experiencing a medical issue as well, possibly as a result of those factors
Very good job by everyone involved, hope he recovered enough to walk let alone fly again :(
clot shot strikes again
WOW, Very Impressive. Gives us a Great Idea about the Help and ATC Persistence assisting Pilots. Another Life Saved. 👍🙏
Omg, 3 minutes in and my anxiety is through the roof!
Slurring "I'm feeling fine" is not too convincing.
That is the thing with asphyxia, you feel euphoric.
Great job all around, especially in ever so gently convincing the pilot of DQP that landing right away was better. I think I might now say "pappAAH" every time...
I was riveted...glad he got down safely.
Kudos to pilot of FD425....he was sweetheart to check other plane!!!
Good job by controller and other pilot assisting.
Seems like the transcript is copied from another channel (almost exactly the same minor errors in both videos). It would be polite to give them credit!
Can you name this channel? Atleast you could give them credit ;)
@@Tom-lu9gj It's titled "Cessna PILOT BECOMES INCAPACITATED IN FLIGHT | Intercepted by FlyDoc Aircraft" by VASAviation. There's too many of the same mistakes in both videos to be coincidence, e.g. "160 knots" instead of "60 knots" at 2:50, "striking" instead of "spooking" at 3:51.
Yep, these are some VAS Aviation typos/errors. I was actually wondering if this was a reupload, but I guess it's just a copy.
Copied the transcript, not the video. VASAviation is very good but he needs someone who has English as a first language to vet his transcripts. This channel needs to create its own content.
@@robertbutsch1802 - Map publishers used to add fake towns to catch these things. So did encyclopedia publishers. They probably still do. It's actionable if it's done for profit.
The captions are a bit off, but awesome video all the same.
Looks like flydoc makes house calls or I should say air calls
Flydoc is litterally medical housecalls by air.
a vital service for people a long way from town and there are a lot of them in Australia.
@@fhuber7507 I think they know that. They're making a joke because that second pilot was sent to see if the other pilot was okay.
They took a very long time to drop his altitude.
I agree. Perhaps they could send him lowered as soon they reached him via radio. Good everything ended well.🛬
8:58 (inaudible) is "Four by five" indicating decent reception some static or other issue, but understandable
Pilot of DQP sounded drunk.
Some effects such as hypoxia (lack of oxygen) can cause that... but only 11,000 ft that's not common.
Did sound better with descent.
ATC had to make the decision for the pilot. It appeared the pilot was not capable of doing so.
🇬🇧🙋🏾♀️Wow, that was intense 😲ATC did a great job insisting he land sooner at the closer airport. 👏🏾
Hope the pilot was alright 👍🏾
In Australia, which party pays for the fuel consumed by Flydoc 425? Not that they’d leave a fellow flyer to flounder - just curious what the regulations and/or conventions are.
Found this on the RFDS wikipedia page: "During its first few decades the service relied heavily on community fundraising, volunteer support and donations. Nowadays, the service is supported by the Commonwealth, State and Territory Governments, but still relies heavily on fundraising and donations from the community to purchase and medically equip its aircraft, and to finance other major capital initiatives. Until the 1960s the service predominantly hired aircraft, pilots and service technicians from contractors. After this point, the service moved on to purchasing its own equipment and employing its own pilots and mechanics."
Did the pilot in DQP not have oxygen equipment? Did they have the equipment, but it malfunctioned? Did they have it and choose to not use it? I don't care how healthy a person thinks they are. If you're going above 10,000 feet, use functional oxygen equipment. That goes for mountain climbing, too.
I’ve been on a mountain at 14000 for an hour or so. You definitely feel numb and clumsy.
8000 ft, air thins at 8000
I'm sick of hearing "Delta Quebec PapAaAAa"
Then why did you continue to listen? No one is forcing you to do that.
Papaaa can you hear me?
Does Flydoc have to pay for that fuel, or is that on the house?
I applaud the pilot following and ATC. This pilot might have had a small stroke.
More safe and effective customer results?
Too many Takeoff Beers!
Good catch indeed
What is the " oxygen" call?
Pilot was experiencing hypoxia, atc wanted to give him one word that would trigger the pilot to descend and put on oxygen mask if equipped
AND AIRLINES WANNA GO WITH JUST ONLY ONE PILOT!!!!! I’LL PASS ON FLYING!!!
Think this is several years old...

Hypoxia at only 11k feet? Healthy people don't feel hypoxia below 15k feet.
@Megatron70 Particularly over an extended period like a cruse for a few hours
Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority Civil Aviation Order 20.4 - Provision and use of oxygen and protective breathing equipment stated that:
"A flight crew member who is on flight deck duty in an unpressurised aircraft must be provided with, and continuously use, supplemental oxygen at all times during which an aircraft flies above 10 000 feet altitude."
@Megatron70 Αs a mountaineer, my experience is very different. By staying over 10 thousand feet above sea level, for an extended period, causes acclimatization so I get used to the altitude effect, which is the opposite of hypoxia!
At night you can experience symptoms of hypoxia as low as 6000 feet.
The mean elevation around my home is only about 700 ft. I clearly recall one experience on vacation when I was in the mountains and at 12,500 ft, I definitely felt altered. Not incoherent, but definitely not myself. And, that’s not even from the perspective of an independent observer. I might have been even more messed up than I realized, as is often the case with hypoxia. I could _absolutely_ see someone becoming moderately disoriented at 11,000 ft, depending on their health status and to what elevation they’ve been acclimated.
Yeah, I would make him land...he doesn't sound well....what happened? Sounded like apoxia...
Yikes. Another one??
No -this is the one from a few years ago.
2.02: He appears to be going over the dock at the moment...
I say pah-pah, not pa-PAH. How is that pronounced in other regions/countries?
To my ear, DQP’s pronunciation sounded pretty reasonable for someone fatigued and in that part of AUS. (Though it did get a tidbit annoying after a while, TBH. ;) ). My Midwestern American pronunciation would be closer to PAH-pah.
pah-PAH is correct according to ICAO and FAA. US Army uses PAH-pah (but then they also say HO-tell).
America is PA-pah. And ho-TEL
Sounds to me like a general Aussie accent on the word. I’m from NZ so I’m familiar with the accent
Leviosaaaaaaa \m/
old video
Yeah, so? Old comment too...
@@oscarolie5743 high;ighting that is an old videio stops viewers thinking it has happened again as is evident by the other comments of 'oh no not again'.
@@systimus5722 Oh sorry m8, I didn't look at the name of the reactor, and thought it was another sour remark of someone. I stand corrected...
@@oscarolie5743 not a problem buddy. Great content on your channel. Keep posting mate :)
@@systimus5722 Not my channel, I am as happy with it as you are... ;)
