All the 1-pilot evaluations have a backup in case of pilot incapacitation, with technology that goes from remote operation to automatic emergency autoland, systems that don't exist in current airplanes (although emergency autoland is a certified option in some very high-end general aviation airplanes). Which basically means that today's airplanes will never fly 1-pilot. Oh and by the way, emergency autoland has nothing to do with the current autoland systems in airliners. It is a totally autonomous system that is activated manually by a person (a passenger in the general aviation planes, the pilot himself in a 1-pilot airliner) or automatically upon lack of response from the pilot and takes over everything, from ATC communications (1-way) to selecting a suitable airport based on airplane performance, terrain, fuel remaining, weather, etc., to 3D navigation to the selected runway, manages power, flaps, landing gear, lands, manages ground steering and brakes, and stops on the centerline.
Man that Co-Pilot did an amazing job. Imagine he has to notify the flight attendants, stay in radio contact, prep the aircraft for landing, and help his Captain any way he can. May the Captain R.I.P.
I’m just a private pilot and no doubt there is a lot going on for that copilot. One time I moved up from a 172 just into a piper PA 28. It had an extra hundred horsepower. I took off and I was so far behind the airplane, it was unbelievable. We were already over a common checkpoint before I could even get the radios tuned to the right frequency. The thing was going so fast there’s definitely something to be said for being ahead of the airplane, or being behind the airplane so in this case in a jet they’re going very fast and of course the copilots LaserJet a lot, so I’m sure he’s used to it but to your point there is a lot happening at once for one person to handle.

Piloting an airliner alone with a medical emergency, or being an ATC at a very busy airport having to deal with this situation, has to be extremely stressful. These people pulled it off perfectly.
Yes, but sadly the old method of hiring the best and brightest ATC's and pilots is being abandoned due to DEI, which is insane. I call that acronym DIE because unfortunately that is what it is going to lead to for unlucky passengers and those on the ground as well.

Pilots are trained for this situation and that is exactly why there is a first officer ready to take over. I have a friend who flies as a first officer for American Airlines in CRJ planes just like this. She is a great pilot and should be a captain soon.
big planes this is going to be a thing. but in a 6 seat little single engine plane. or a bigger dual engine. you aren't going to be able to afford a second pilot.
This co pilot did an phenomenal job in a very stressful situation Hats off to him and the air traffic controllers for getting this plane back safely also RIP to the pilot
As an AA frequent flyer. I end up on these aircraft quite often. These pilot’s are the hardest working of the fleet and it’s a stressful and thankless job. Hopefully they were able to say he passed while doing what he loved. Whenever you can, thank the crew for a good flight. I have been told by crew members before that it means more than you may think.

Hoover, I'm a prior Naval Flight Officer (NATOPS Evaluator Spec Crew), CFI-AI, Adv Ground Instructor and retired A320/321 major airline Captain with 20,000 hours. Though I'm no longer flying, I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your debriefs and had your show been around back in the '60's when I first soloed, I'm sure I would have been a more educated pilot.

My grandfather died from a heart attack while piloting a Braniff 747 flying from Honolulu to Dallas in 1979. Unfortunately, my grandmother was a stewardess for Braniff and was on the flight as well. Must have been horrible for her. I was around 8 at the time so we've never talked about it.
I remember when this happened. March 3, 1979 if I recall (I happened to be flying to DAB on EA to visit my grandparents that day). He was flying N601BN, “The Great Pumpkin”, that gloriously orange beast, arguably the beloved 747 ever, from HNL to DFW, and they waited until after arrival to break the news to your grandmother. I remember thinking how utterly sad, then realizing how precious it was they weren’t thousands of miles apart. They were together, working on board the same aircraft, each of them living their shared dream at the moment he passed. Of course it was a shock I’m sure when she realized he was gone, but yet she was right there when he left. And she could say goodbye in the setting that brought them so much joy over the years. And if you were to ask her, she’d probably say that was how he was meant to go.
@yvonnemurray5537 May not apply in this situation bc I don't know how many years ago this happened. But critical stress debriefings actually makes things worse. If you individually have a problem you should talk to someone. But stay away from the group things. I was an EMT for a long time. Saw a lot of horrible things. The best thing is to resume normal life. They started doing those CSD at the end of my career and it was a disaster. It broke up 2 marriages. 3 kids in one family 2 in the other. Both went on to be remarried. Divorced, more kids ruined a disaster for our small town.
The captain that died was a DEC (Direct Entry Captain) who was just hired and was flying his IOE (Initial Operating Experience) with a check airmen who is a senior captain in the right seat. That is one reason the right seat captain handled the situation well. Direct entry captains are hired when an airline does not have enough first officers that are senior enough to upgrade to captain. So they hire DECs who are usually coming from other part 121 airlines. So there were two captains on the aircraft, the most junior one is the one who died. Basically an instructor in the right seat with a student in the left seat who became incapacitated. So less of a dramatic situation then if the first officer was a new hire himself and now had to deal with an incapacitated captain. I have 11.5 years flying for Envoy mostly in the EMB 145.
@@CaptainCreampie69Can’t answer for this pilot’s circumstance but I do know some logical reasons. First, regional airline pay has increased dramatically. Second, it’s tough to take a step back when starting over @ a new airline. Flying as a reserve pilot sucks as does junior lines after reserve. Believe it or not, some actually love regional flying which is much more challenging. Lastly, the pilot’s age is unknown. If he’s less than 10 years from retirement, jumping to the majors becomes questionable.
Retired airline pilot here: Saying that airline pilots don't train for this is WRONG! No rookie pilot is released for line training without a "crew incapacitation" session in the flight simulator. The interaction between the pilots from entering the cockpit until climbing to the initial cleared altitude is so intense that not many seconds will pass before the functioning crew member realizes that something is amiss. This situation (crew incapacitation) is practiced regularly in the simulator training so even a rookie first officer should be fairly competent to handle such situations. In a case like this, the pilot remaining should call for call for FULL support from ATC - refusing a complicated approach clearance he would then have to execute on his own, just request vectors and full "babysitting" for the approach and landing. Minimizing the workload is what is called for, and ATC will normally be happy to provide it!
The Captain died. I would certainly call that a priority emergency. Makes me feel bad for that Captain, didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to his family.. How sad. Condolences to his family, rest in peace dear Captain. 🌹🌹
Fire the Flight Physician for passing this pilot’s medical. 1st Class flight medical exams for Commercial pilots are sadly inadequate for pilots older than 50.
Rubbish statement. I was flying till 60. Commercial and military experience. It all depends on your physical fitness. I have seen pilots in the mid 30ties in a way worse shape than me.@kristopherdetar4346
This was an unfortunate event that no pilot ever expects to happen. My hope is this video explains a little about what happens in these kind of situations.
I would be interested in your opinion or video analysis if these unexpected medical issues happen much more often since the more or less forced role-out of a certain medical treatment. Rumors say it seems to be problematic but nobody really wants to talk about it for whatever reason
Amazing job by the copilot. I assume a new flight crew would be needed as they surely can’t expect the original crew to carry on after such a traumatic event. Very sad for all involved.
@FriesyRider No one's seems to want to talk about them, because they're just rumours.. Why are there so many conspiracy theorists in this video. He's not going to do a video on "muh COVID needles" cos he's an educated dude, and he's not spouting nonsense on his channel..
This video popped up in my U-Tube feed and it was really great. The guy explaining the dialog really made it easy to understand what was happening. Excellent job.
Airline pilot here. In a single pilot operation, sometimes this can get missed. The controller likely declared the emergency for this aircraft due to the situation. Yes, technically he should have, however, it was likely already done for him. He was extremely busy flying the aircraft, briefing everyone, getting setup for the approach, dealing with a possible overweight landing, running checklists, coordinating with paramedics, dealing with Chicago airspace, and much more. I'm sure the FAA will overlook that my friend.
I am so impressed with the calmness and effectiveness of the pilot here. That shows amazing training by the company and good sense in the part of this pilot. I am sure he was grieving after all this was finished. RIP to the other pilot.
@@vmat6684millions of people people were dying of respiratory illnesses every year before the 'vid, but in 2020-2023 all of those deaths were attributed to the virus.
As an experienced flight instructor, I disagree with you that you said it was OK for the first officer not to declare an emergency. The FAA has been harping on this subject for some time now. It wouldn't have taken a second for him to say Flight XXX declaring an emergency. Pilots are hesitant to do this and that has caused serious problems in other situations. They fear repercussions from the FAA, but as long as there was a real emergency there will be no repercussions. If you have an emergency DECLAIRE IT.
Absolutely declare the emergency. Not only priority handling. It’s also your legal way out. You are the PIC. Not ATC, not the FAA, not the company or any University of Google Phd's on aviation. ATC can declare the emergency for you. If they warrant it. I don’t know why any airline pilot would be reluctant to declare an emergency. In this case your are doing what is called an "air return", you are not proceeding to destination. Any diversion or return is subject to a company report most likely backed up with ASAP report (FAA) to cover yourself anyway.
He never once said it was okay, he said he doesn’t fault him for it while he was in that unexpected situation; which means he can sympathize with the Co-Pilot. It’s easy to watch TH-cam videos and think you would operate perfectly, like a machine, in every single situation. We’re not perfect all the time, even though we would like to believe so.
I drove SFO & PDX airport limos for years. I've always admired Pilots. A very difficult job. Many have died on the job. I offer my condolences as well. I'm grateful that the industry hired me. Peace. * Cav *
UK airlines certainly do train for 'pilot incapacitation'. Involves using cabin crew member to secure or remove the incapacitated pilot, to sit in the jump seat and read check list items if required and to communicate with the cabin crew. Works well and is a regular simulator and ground training day item. I have done this training many times and, from a pilot's viewpoint, is great CRM training.
My understanding was that there isn't training for incapacitation during the takeoff and with the extra workload / comms that are happening in that phase of flight.
After 30,000+ hours flying a variety of airliners, I wanted to correct your statement that pilots don’t train for having the other pilot to become incapacitated. I probably saw this situation in the simulator at least 8 or 10 times in my career. Flight attendants are also trained to assist with this type of problem. Cheers, Rog
@@arsenalfeetYes and on top of that declare MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY, land the ac shortest possible way, stop on the runway and open the door for medical assistance! By declaring MAYDAY all assistance ( medical and firefighting) would wait on ground to approach the aircraft as soon as she stops! That would’ve been grate job done by the book and recurrent training I’ve received by every Airline I’ve worked for during my 40 y career as an Airline pilot. For years working as TRI in the SIM was giving pilot incapacitation by surprise in most critical moments during take off roll or just after V1! For this copilot, he did a job, not grate though as he was giving his best to accommodate ATC rather then to fight for his college life. Ideally he should’ve done this: 1. Declare MAYDAY 2. Climb 1500 + AP elevation ( visual circuit altitude) 3. Make 180 right turn as soon as possible 4. Call flight attendant to the cockpit to secure Captain 5. Abeam Rwy threshold 45” timing, 180 turn towards landing Rwy, land and stop. 6. Open the door and let medical staff to do their job Would all this saved Captains life, God knows, but this copilot would know that he has done his part throughly…
As a Capt and instructor at a MAJOR airline I used to train this very scenario to the crew members I ws training! I was the only instructor teaching this at my airline.
In 16 years as Army helicopter assault pilot, we trained for this consistently. Since adding crewed fixed wing, I haven’t trained it once. Kudos to you.
In 1990,my dad died of Sudden Cardiac Death while driving with my mom on the freeway in a Ford passenger van while pulling a 29' travel trailer. They were on vacation at the time. Even though there were paramedics within 2-3 minutes of the scene after diverting from another call to help my dad, there was still nothing they could do. I can't imagine that scenario several thousand feet in the air while flying a plane. Thank the Lord that co-pilot was calm and in control. I would imagine aside from the pilot being unconscious, that he was also the co-pilot's friend and at a bare minimum, a coworker and someone he knew. What a tough situation. I think he did quite admirable for the unexpected and frankly, scary situation he found himself in. My thoughts and prayers go out to the pilot's family and friends. It's not easy to lose a loved one instantly like that. You keep waiting for them to come home and they never do. I pray that God comforts them and helps them through this very difficult and trying time.
I don’t think the Lord had anything to do with the relatively good outcome of this incident. The First Officer’s training, skills, experience, and a simple but strong desire to not end up as a smoking hole in the ground were the main ingredients to a positive outcome. Those things, along with help from the Flight Attendant and ATC, all trained for this or similar emergency scenarios, are what made the difference.
I'm so sorry for the sudden loss of your father, even though it was a long time ago. Was your father driving? If so, how did your mother handle the vehicle not crashing?
Another comment said it was a check flight and the pilot who passed was a new hire or prospective hire. So they probably didn’t know each other. Still an awful situation well handled.
As incredible of a job the pilot did, the folks in the towers did an amazing job too. Everyone was as calm as they could possibly be. Great job, great video, great explanation
Thanks for not finding and placing the deceased's photo on the thumbnail. So many channels do that potentially causing perpetual heartaches and reminders of tragedy for the family.
remarkable job by first officer and all involved in getting the aircraft safely back on the ground, sadly the Captain did not survive, but prayers to his family and loved ones.
He should have declared an emergency. I would have asked to stay on the original frequency and would have informed the tower I was landing on runway 28R. In an emergency the PIC tells the controller what he wants. The F/O did do a great job. Great video.
This is the first vid that I’ve watched like this. Amazing narrative. No way would I have understood what was happening step by step, radio talk, etc, without the narrative. Thanks very much. RIP Captain!
To some it may seem like this pilot was indifferent to the condition of the stricken pilot. I'd say just the opposite. I'd say the safety of all his passengers, including the captain, was paramount. He showed it by flying the airplane. Crashing while getting the captain medical assistance, wouldn't help anyone. Also, we weren't privy to what was said on the plane's intercom.
We train for it all the time at Air Canada. Pilot incapacitation, how to identify it and react to it. In the simulator the test involves different types of incapacitation; death, unconscious and the hardest one, responses to questions or inaction to events. Can be extremely difficult but if the other pilot suspects something is not correct, three questions in a row with incorrect responses is cause for the “pilot incapacitation” memory items followed by the checklist. At Canadian Airlines the call for the pilot flying at 500 feet AGL on approach for landing was “Alive at Five”. It was a response to an incident in Japan where the pilot flying died on the approach and was not caught until after landing. Luckily this was an automated landing which the aircraft performed. The automated part of the approach was to be disconnected at 200 feet AGL and was not until the aircraft touched down and the monitoring pilot noticed the incapacitation. Who flys a leg is usually alternated between the Captain and the First Officer. They should be trained to do each others job. The next division of labour is relegated to who is flying (pilot flying or PF) and the pilot not flying (pilot monitoring or PM) On the 737 the tiller (steering wheel) is on the Captains side only! On the 67, 77, and 87 both pilots have a tiller. Geoff Quickfall BSc, MSc, PhD candidate with 28,000hrs; DC10, B737, B757, B767, B777, B787, DHC2, DHC3, B18
R.I.P. Captain may you fly the skies with peace in your heart. Excellent job for all whom assisted . Was this the pilot they discussed with the hundred other folks whom died of heart failure ranging from teens to elders?
I can't help but wonder if declaring a medical emergency sooner and asking for medical help could have gotten the passenger the help they needed even faster. They likely made the best decision they could with the information available. They have a defibrillator onboard and probably someone trained personnel for CPR.
The extra-crummy thing for a pilot in this situation is that while the pilots are both trained to fly the airplane, they're trained to do it *with assistance from the other pilot*. One flies, the other operates the radios, runs checklists, etc. This guy had to do everything all by himself.
Are you aware that the FAA want to approve single pilot operations; or no pilot at all??? You need two pilots on any jet that size....in never get on any jet with only one pilot; or no pilot at all! Left the busness years ago; Glade I did!!
Aviate, Navigate, Communicate. The pilot flying has the job of flying the aircraft first, everything else can wait, including talking to FA's and passengers.
Retired MD-11 acceptance driver... Very sorry to learn of the stricken pilot. God bless him and his family. Pilots are trained for single pilot operation in an emergency such as this. The stress and workload become very high, but as soon as the initial situation calms down a bit, in many cases excess fuel may be dumped safely and the plane landed by a single pilot.
Matter of fact, we do (train captain / pilot incapacitation, especially on FFS - full flight simulator) regularly. Depending on the civil aviation agency, it is an initial check ride maneuver. In others, it is inserted on the LOFT. May the colleague Rest in Peace... 🙏🙏🙏🕯️🕯️🕯️
Good video! When I was conducting Initial Operating Experience (IOE) for an airline, my "graduation exercise" was to tell the trainee that I was "incapacitated" to determine that the pilot could manage the situation (minus declaring my "incapacitation").
Paramedic and pilot here. If somebody goes into cardiac arrest, then CPR needs to be started absolutely as soon it is safe to do so. This gives arriving paramedics or a responder with an AED the best chance of reviving the patient. I don’t know how long this whole sequence took but the pilot mentioned getting the pilot out of the seat after landing. The time it would probably take to fly a wide pattern, land, and stop may have been too long to wait before initiating CPR. Based on the radio call I assume that it was at least this long before CPR was initiated . CPR couldn’t be be done effectively with the pilot in his seat. He would need to be laid flat on a firm surface. I’m sharing this, so anyone who reads this understands that if it’s warranted (patient isn’t breathing and no pulse) and if you have any level of training, then CPR needs to be started as soon as possible, in order to give the patient the best chance. Good job to the flying pilot for staying calm and ensuring the safety the passengers and crew.
I LOVE how informative you are and how you get the information across to the viewers. You obviously have a depth of knowledge and I appreciate this channel a great deal. I just discovered your channel not too long ago and it is very in depth, or at least as in depth as it needs to be for people who don't really have an understanding of the workings or ATC and the pilots. Too bad the pilot passed..
RIP. Some of these stories bring me to tears thinking of what their last couple minutes had to be like. The one with the Maggie girl that loses her right wheel on the landing gear, makes me tear up as soon as she comes on the radio with fear in her voice. Glad she made it out of that situation fine.
What were the time intervals? ie, from realizing incapacitation to landing, and everything in between? Good compilation! And, good job, co-pilot. You saved 75+ people that day. Not all angels have wings!!
Curious if the outcome would've been different if an AED were on the plane. My coworker had a heart attack a few weeks ago. The only reason why he survived is because we were able to shock him within a couple minutes.
The hardest part for me is having to deal w/ a dead body right next to me while having to focus flying the plane while estabilishing comms with the flight deck and ATC. Especially when vacating the rwy and moving a dead body. Kudos to the pilot , impressive Job
You have to put it in a box. Deal with your emotions after, your prime responsibility is to your passengers and with all the sudden deaths he probably already knew that the pilot was gone. Dead bodies are just a part of life nothing to fear
I commend u for never over criticizing pic's..Monday morning quarterbacks r the least helpful and show their poor character and not the folks at the yolks!😊
I am worried about the excess heart attacks, strokes and cardiac arrests in people, especially pilots. Due to the increase, the regulators even decreased the stringent requirements they had before to become a pilot, relating to degrees of heart disease. Otherwise there would not be enough pilots. This is a fact, anyone can look it up.
I wonder why they arent using AED's on airplanes. Every plane should have one I'd think, just makes sense. Might not help every situation but if it saves one life here and there seems worth it. I'm also surprised no one came to start compressions or anything like that.
@@sebrofcit wouldn’t have been possible for anyone to start compressions, there isn’t room in the cockpit for anyone else and even if there were room, no one could have removed the captain from the seat without interfering with the guy flying the plane.
@@carolmiller9066 Makes sense humans are indeed very difficult to move when incapacitated let alone without interfering with flight controls or over the center console. Just a bummer.
I flew 747s for 30 years and was an instructor and examiner in 747 simulator for 23 of those years. It is practiced and checked on a regular basis. The Captain is told over a private microphone channel at which point he is to have the incapacitation and this may result in either the First Officer rejecting the takeoff if it is recognised by a lack of 80 or 100 knot call before V1 or after takeoff if no response to a gear up request. The F/O will then declare an emergency for immediate return and medical assistance on landing. He or she will then fly the aircraft to a priority approach and is encouraged to auto land to reduce workload. The quicker the Captain receives medical help, the greater the chance of survival in the case of stroke or non fatal heart attack. Call a Mayday.
RIP Captain. God Bless the captain’s family and friends. Kuddos to the 1st Officer on a job well done. I hope the company gave the FO a few days off after such a stressful day.
0:03 Callus as it sounds, that is what the first officer is there for, who is also a qualified commercial pilot, hopefully everyone kept their heads and this is not a tragic ending.
Imagine knowing that you're going to have to move his body out of the seat and put him somewhere, in such a confined space, so that you can get the plane to the gate. 🥺 I hope they had two pilots available to take that flight over so that he could take some time off before having to be in the cockpit again.
Very strange, the way so many pilots are so reluctant to declare an emergency. It's not as if there's a cost involved. ATC just didn't understand what he was saying, and declaring would have made that clear.
Perhaps, but it is pretty obvious to me that they "got the flick" pretty quickly. When I was an air traffic controller, it was clear to me that I was well within my rights to consider an aircraft to be an EMERGENCY if I saw fit.
THIS is why the concept of reducing airliners to just one pilot is dangerous. RIP Captain. Great job F/O.

And why 65 is too fucking old.

As an AA frequent flyer. I end up on these aircraft quite often. These pilot’s are the hardest working of the fleet and it’s a stressful and thankless job. Hopefully they were able to say he passed while doing what he loved. Whenever you can, thank the crew for a good flight. I have been told by crew members before that it means more than you may think.
Dr. Drew talks about the recent study which came out showing that 50% of the younger men who took the gene therapy injections and had cardiac symptoms as a result, have been shown to have PERMANENT heart damage.
I have always thanked the crew and captain if I see them on way out of plane. They do an amazing job!

Hoover, I'm a prior Naval Flight Officer (NATOPS Evaluator Spec Crew), CFI-AI, Adv Ground Instructor and retired A320/321 major airline Captain with 20,000 hours. Though I'm no longer flying, I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your debriefs and had your show been around back in the '60's when I first soloed, I'm sure I would have been a more educated pilot. I appreciate the detail and balance you have in showing where a pilot failed, but also being compassionate where needed. Well done!
Not a professional pilot but a professional passenger .The pilot did an amazing job his calm demeanor and confidence was what I appreciated.
My grandfather died from a heart attack while piloting a Braniff 747 flying from Honolulu to Dallas in 1979. Unfortunately, my grandmother was a stewardess for Braniff and was on the flight as well. Must have been horrible for her. I was around 8 at the time so we've never talked about it.
You should talk about it. Trust me on that.
I remember when this happened. March 3, 1979 if I recall (I happened to be flying to DAB on EA to visit my grandparents that day). He was flying N601BN, “The Great Pumpkin”, that gloriously orange beast, arguably the beloved 747 ever, from HNL to DFW, and they waited until after arrival to break the news to your grandmother. I remember thinking how utterly sad, then realizing how precious it was they weren’t thousands of miles apart. They were together, working on board the same aircraft, each of them living their shared dream at the moment he passed. Of course it was a shock I’m sure when she realized he was gone, but yet she was right there when he left. And she could say goodbye in the setting that brought them so much joy over the years. And if you were to ask her, she’d probably say that was how he was meant to go.
@yvonnemurray5537 May not apply in this situation bc I don't know how many years ago this happened. But critical stress debriefings actually makes things worse. If you individually have a problem you should talk to someone. But stay away from the group things. I was an EMT for a long time. Saw a lot of horrible things. The best thing is to resume normal life. They started doing those CSD at the end of my career and it was a disaster. It broke up 2 marriages. 3 kids in one family 2 in the other. Both went on to be remarried. Divorced, more kids ruined a disaster for our small town.

R.I.P. to the captain! The first officer did really well! Calm...collected.....and got them back safely!
The captain that died was a DEC (Direct Entry Captain) who was just hired and was flying his IOE (Initial Operating Experience) with a check airmen who is a senior captain in the right seat. That is one reason the right seat captain handled the situation well.
Direct entry captains are hired when an airline does not have enough first officers that are senior enough to upgrade to captain. So they hire DECs who are usually coming from other part 121 airlines.
So there were two captains on the aircraft, the most junior one is the one who died. Basically an instructor in the right seat with a student in the left seat who became incapacitated. So less of a dramatic situation then if the first officer was a new hire himself and now had to deal with an incapacitated captain.
I have 11.5 years flying for Envoy mostly in the EMB 145.
Thanks for the additional details

Why haven’t you taken the flow then to AA? Last I heard it was 7 years.
@@CaptainCreampie69Can’t answer for this pilot’s circumstance but I do know some logical reasons. First, regional airline pay has increased dramatically. Second, it’s tough to take a step back when starting over @ a new airline. Flying as a reserve pilot sucks as does junior lines after reserve. Believe it or not, some actually love regional flying which is much more challenging. Lastly, the pilot’s age is unknown. If he’s less than 10 years from retirement, jumping to the majors becomes questionable.
Thank you very much for this additional info.
Retired airline pilot here: Saying that airline pilots don't train for this is WRONG! No rookie pilot is released for line training without a "crew incapacitation" session in the flight simulator.
The interaction between the pilots from entering the cockpit until climbing to the initial cleared altitude is so intense that not many seconds will pass before the functioning crew member realizes that something is amiss. This situation (crew incapacitation) is practiced regularly in the simulator training so even a rookie first officer should be fairly competent to handle such situations.
In a case like this, the pilot remaining should call for call for FULL support from ATC - refusing a complicated approach clearance he would then have to execute on his own, just request vectors and full "babysitting" for the approach and landing. Minimizing the workload is what is called for, and ATC will normally be happy to provide it!
The Captain died. I would certainly call that a priority emergency. Makes me feel bad for that Captain, didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to his family.. How sad. Condolences to his family, rest in peace dear Captain. 🌹🌹
Fire the Flight Physician for passing this pilot’s medical. 1st Class flight medical exams for Commercial pilots are sadly inadequate for pilots older than 50.
Rubbish statement. I was flying till 60. Commercial and military experience. It all depends on your physical fitness. I have seen pilots in the mid 30ties in a way worse shape than me.@kristopherdetar4346
Yes and anyone can die suddenly regardless of age !
Makes me think that commercial pilots, maybe of a certain age, should have a quick pre flight electrocardiogram. They only take 10 minutes.
In my country, pilot incapacitation training takes place annually in the simulator. It still catches you off guard as it is a surprise exercise.
This was an unfortunate event that no pilot ever expects to happen. My hope is this video explains a little about what happens in these kind of situations.
I would be interested in your opinion or video analysis if these unexpected medical issues happen much more often since the more or less forced role-out of a certain medical treatment. Rumors say it seems to be problematic but nobody really wants to talk about it for whatever reason
Amazing job by the copilot. I assume a new flight crew would be needed as they surely can’t expect the original crew to carry on after such a traumatic event. Very sad for all involved.

Airline pilot here. In a single pilot operation, sometimes this can get missed. The controller likely declared the emergency for this aircraft due to the situation. Yes, technically he should have, however, it was likely already done for him. He was extremely busy flying the aircraft, briefing everyone, getting setup for the approach, dealing with a possible overweight landing, running checklists, coordinating with paramedics, dealing with Chicago airspace, and much more. I'm sure the FAA will overlook that my friend.

Much respect for pilots and their crews. I always return the smiles from the pilots and flight attendants when exiting the plane.
Great job by the F/O. You can only imagine the workload - flying, communication, instruments. He did great and sounded confident.
As an experienced flight instructor, I disagree with you that you said it was OK for the first officer not to declare an emergency. The FAA has been harping on this subject for some time now. It wouldn't have taken a second for him to say Flight XXX declaring an emergency. Pilots are hesitant to do this and that has caused serious problems in other situations. They fear repercussions from the FAA, but as long as there was a real emergency there will be no repercussions. If you have an emergency DECLAIRE IT.
Pilot incapacitation very much justifies a PAN call, indeed.
Seems like calling an "unnecessary" emergency needs to have significantly less serious repercussions if folks are scared to declare one.
Hoover added he's got a lot going on, fly the plane, navigate, then communicate
Absolutely declare the emergency. Not only priority handling. It’s also your legal way out. You are the PIC. Not ATC, not the FAA, not the company or any University of Google Phd's on aviation.
ATC can declare the emergency for you. If they warrant it. I don’t know why any airline pilot would be reluctant to declare an emergency. In this case your are doing what is called an "air return", you are not proceeding to destination. Any diversion or return is subject to a company report most likely backed up with ASAP report (FAA) to cover yourself anyway.
He never once said it was okay, he said he doesn’t fault him for it while he was in that unexpected situation; which means he can sympathize with the Co-Pilot.
It’s easy to watch TH-cam videos and think you would operate perfectly, like a machine, in every single situation. We’re not perfect all the time, even though we would like to believe so.

UK airlines certainly do train for 'pilot incapacitation'. Involves using cabin crew member to secure or remove the incapacitated pilot, to sit in the jump seat and read check list items if required and to communicate with the cabin crew. Works well and is a regular simulator and ground training day item. I have done this training many times and, from a pilot's viewpoint, is great CRM training.
Yep. Saying pilots don’t train for it is completely false, it’s a common scenario in the sim
My understanding was that there isn't training for incapacitation during the takeoff and with the extra workload / comms that are happening in that phase of flight.
So good to hear a content creator without verbal overflow Good video. CONDOLENCES to the Captain's family and friends
After 30,000+ hours flying a variety of airliners, I wanted to correct your statement that pilots don’t train for having the other pilot to become incapacitated. I probably saw this situation in the simulator at least 8 or 10 times in my career. Flight attendants are also trained to assist with this type of problem. Cheers, Rog
Restrain them in the seat, with a flight attendant accompanying them, if I remember correctly
Incorrect no many how many flight hours you have.
@@arsenalfeetYes and on top of that declare MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY, land the ac shortest possible way, stop on the runway and open the door for medical assistance! By declaring MAYDAY all assistance ( medical and firefighting) would wait on ground to approach the aircraft as soon as she stops! That would’ve been grate job done by the book and recurrent training I’ve received by every Airline I’ve worked for during my 40 y career as an Airline pilot. For years working as TRI in the SIM was giving pilot incapacitation by surprise in most critical moments during take off roll or just after V1! For this copilot, he did a job, not grate though as he was giving his best to accommodate ATC rather then to fight for his college life. Ideally he should’ve done this:
1. Declare MAYDAY
2. Climb 1500 + AP elevation ( visual circuit altitude)
3. Make 180 right turn as soon as possible
4. Call flight attendant to the cockpit to secure Captain
5. Abeam Rwy threshold 45” timing, 180 turn towards landing Rwy, land and stop.
6. Open the door and let medical staff to do their job
Would all this saved Captains life, God knows, but this copilot would know that he has done his part throughly…
I think he meant incapacitating on take off.

CP handled a stressful sad situation like a champ. I can't think of a better way for a pilot to go out, flying his last trip on Earth.

As a Capt and instructor at a MAJOR airline I used to train this very scenario to the crew members I ws training! I was the only instructor teaching this at my airline.
In 16 years as Army helicopter assault pilot, we trained for this consistently. Since adding crewed fixed wing, I haven’t trained it once. Kudos to you.
In 1990,my dad died of Sudden Cardiac Death while driving with my mom on the freeway in a Ford passenger van while pulling a 29' travel trailer. They were on vacation at the time. Even though there were paramedics within 2-3 minutes of the scene after diverting from another call to help my dad, there was still nothing they could do. I can't imagine that scenario several thousand feet in the air while flying a plane. Thank the Lord that co-pilot was calm and in control. I would imagine aside from the pilot being unconscious, that he was also the co-pilot's friend and at a bare minimum, a coworker and someone he knew. What a tough situation. I think he did quite admirable for the unexpected and frankly, scary situation he found himself in. My thoughts and prayers go out to the pilot's family and friends. It's not easy to lose a loved one instantly like that. You keep waiting for them to come home and they never do. I pray that God comforts them and helps them through this very difficult and trying time.
I don’t think the Lord had anything to do with the relatively good outcome of this incident. The First Officer’s training, skills, experience, and a simple but strong desire to not end up as a smoking hole in the ground were the main ingredients to a positive outcome. Those things, along with help from the Flight Attendant and ATC, all trained for this or similar emergency scenarios, are what made the difference.

To some it may seem like this pilot was indifferent to the condition of the stricken pilot. I'd say just the opposite. I'd say the safety of all his passengers, including the captain, was paramount. He showed it by flying the airplane. Crashing while getting the captain medical assistance, wouldn't help anyone. Also, we weren't privy to what was said on the plane's intercom.
How pilots and controllers understand each other is beyond me. They speak rapidly, slurring ...

We train for it all the time at Air Canada. Pilot incapacitation, how to identify it and react to it. In the simulator the test involves different types of incapacitation; death, unconscious and the hardest one, responses to questions or inaction to events. Can be extremely difficult but if the other pilot suspects something is not correct, three questions in a row with incorrect responses is cause for the “pilot incapacitation” memory items followed by the checklist.
At Canadian Airlines the call for the pilot flying at 500 feet AGL on approach for landing was “Alive at Five”. It was a response to an incident in Japan where the pilot flying died on the approach and was not caught until after landing. Luckily this was an automated landing which the aircraft performed. The automated part of the approach was to be disconnected at 200 feet AGL and was not until the aircraft touched down and the monitoring pilot noticed the incapacitation.
Who flys a leg is usually alternated between the Captain and the First Officer. They should be trained to do each others job. The next division of labour is relegated to who is flying (pilot flying or PF) and the pilot not flying (pilot monitoring or PM)
On the 737 the tiller (steering wheel) is on the Captains side only! On the 67, 77, and 87 both pilots have a tiller.

I can't help but wonder if declaring a medical emergency sooner and asking for medical help could have gotten the passenger the help they needed even faster. They likely made the best decision they could with the information available. They have a defibrillator onboard and probably someone trained personnel for CPR.
I don't know about dying on takeoff, but during my primary flight training several times I gave my instructor a near death experience.
Outstanding pilot. I hope he was commended by everyone for his magnificent performance.
The extra-crummy thing for a pilot in this situation is that while the pilots are both trained to fly the airplane, they're trained to do it *with assistance from the other pilot*. One flies, the other operates the radios, runs checklists, etc. This guy had to do everything all by himself.
Are you aware that the FAA want to approve single pilot operations; or no pilot at all??? You need two pilots on any jet that size....in never get on any jet with only one pilot; or no pilot at all! Left the busness years ago; Glade I did!!
It wasn't that hard to switch frequencies single pilot and land, this is a very forgiving and gentle airplane to fly.

We train for it regularly. Although not common, if you keep calm and do things in order, you will be able to handle it fairly easily.

Retired MD-11 acceptance driver... Very sorry to learn of the stricken pilot. God bless him and his family. Pilots are trained for single pilot operation in an emergency such as this. The stress and workload become very high, but as soon as the initial situation calms down a bit, in many cases excess fuel may be dumped safely and the plane landed by a single pilot.
Matter of fact, we do (train captain / pilot incapacitation, especially on FFS - full flight simulator) regularly. Depending on the civil aviation agency, it is an initial check ride maneuver. In others, it is inserted on the LOFT.
May the colleague Rest in Peace...
🙏🙏🙏🕯️🕯️🕯️
Good video! When I was conducting Initial Operating Experience (IOE) for an airline, my "graduation exercise" was to tell the trainee that I was "incapacitated" to determine that the pilot could manage the situation (minus declaring my "incapacitation").

@@ManzelaManz-pk8zy yeah so many sudden deaths, it's an... epidemic, isn't it! 😆
Paramedic and pilot here. If somebody goes into cardiac arrest, then CPR needs to be started absolutely as soon it is safe to do so. This gives arriving paramedics or a responder with an AED the best chance of reviving the patient.
I don’t know how long this whole sequence took but the pilot mentioned getting the pilot out of the seat after landing. The time it would probably take to fly a wide pattern, land, and stop may have been too long to wait before initiating CPR. Based on the radio call I assume that it was at least this long before CPR was initiated . CPR couldn’t be be done effectively with the pilot in his seat. He would need to be laid flat on a firm surface.
I’m sharing this, so anyone who reads this understands that if it’s warranted (patient isn’t breathing and no pulse) and if you have any level of training, then CPR needs to be started as soon as possible, in order to give the patient the best chance.
Good job to the flying pilot for staying calm and ensuring the safety the passengers and crew.

The one with the Maggie girl that loses her right wheel on the landing gear, makes me tear up as soon as she comes on the radio with fear in her voice. Glad she made it out of that situation fine.
What were the time intervals? ie, from realizing incapacitation to landing, and everything in between?
Good compilation! And, good job, co-pilot. You saved 75+ people that day. Not all angels have wings!!

Poor captain, but the other pilot handled the situation so well .
Curious if the outcome would've been different if an AED were on the plane. My coworker had a heart attack a few weeks ago. The only reason why he survived is because we were able to shock him within a couple minutes.
Wow - that pilot was so calm !! Sad about the other pilot though
The hardest part for me is having to deal w/ a dead body right next to me while having to focus flying the plane while estabilishing comms with the flight deck and ATC.
Especially when vacating the rwy and moving a dead body.
Kudos to the pilot , impressive Job
You have to put it in a box. Deal with your emotions after, your prime responsibility is to your passengers and with all the sudden deaths he probably already knew that the pilot was gone. Dead bodies are just a part of life nothing to fear
I commend u for never over criticizing pic's..Monday morning quarterbacks r the least helpful and show their poor character and not the folks at the yolks!😊
Excellent handling by the co-pilot. I am sorry for the pilot's family. The pilot is fine now.
I am worried about the excess heart attacks, strokes and cardiac arrests in people, especially pilots. Due to the increase, the regulators even decreased the stringent requirements they had before to become a pilot, relating to degrees of heart disease. Otherwise there would not be enough pilots. This is a fact, anyone can look it up.
I wonder why they arent using AED's on airplanes. Every plane should have one I'd think, just makes sense. Might not help every situation but if it saves one life here and there seems worth it. I'm also surprised no one came to start compressions or anything like that.
@@sebrofc I guess planes can't afford it🙄. All they care about is $.

@@carolmiller9066 Makes sense humans are indeed very difficult to move when incapacitated let alone without interfering with flight controls or over the center console. Just a bummer.
I flew 747s for 30 years and was an instructor and examiner in 747 simulator for 23 of those years. It is practiced and checked on a regular basis. The Captain is told over a private microphone channel at which point he is to have the incapacitation and this may result in either the First Officer rejecting the takeoff if it is recognised by a lack of 80 or 100 knot call before V1 or after takeoff if no response to a gear up request. The F/O will then declare an emergency for immediate return and medical assistance on landing. He or she will then fly the aircraft to a priority approach and is encouraged to auto land to reduce workload. The quicker the Captain receives medical help, the greater the chance of survival in the case of stroke or non fatal heart attack. Call a Mayday.
That's why they have a first officer, to take over in any given situation.
R.I.P. Captain.

Very strange, the way so many pilots are so reluctant to declare an emergency. It's not as if there's a cost involved. ATC just didn't understand what he was saying, and declaring would have made that clear.
Perhaps, but it is pretty obvious to me that they "got the flick" pretty quickly. When I was an air traffic controller, it was clear to me that I was well within my rights to consider an aircraft to be an EMERGENCY if I saw fit.
My highest appreciation for the first officer, just my tears came out. RIP captain.
It was wrong for the co-pilot to not call it in as an emergency, the captain needed medical attention ASAP!
Unless EMTs could be beamed up to the aircraft, the captain got help as soon as possible.
Wouldn't have made any difference.
Former FAA air traffic controller here and licensed pilot. Great job, all, on both ends of the radios.
