While flying airplane, copilot lands safelyAmerican Airlines Pilot dies copilot lands safely
An American Airlines flight from Phoenix was forced to create an emergency landing in Syracuse, New York after the aviator unexpectedly died mid-flight, although the precise character of the aviator’s sickness hasn’t yet been supported. The pilot, age and whose name is being withheld, was apparently treated in the air by way of a flight attendant having a nursing history but all such attempts proved unsuccessful.
Cockpit recordings show a minumum of one member crew verifying the captain was “incapacitated,” before finally saying that he’s become “unresponsive [and] not respiration.”
The flight, an Airbus A320 which supposedly placed 147 passengers, landed safely in Syracuse soon after 7 a.m., by the flight’s copilot. Per a condition in America, all airlines must have two aviators aboard any certain flight.
“We’re certainly well qualified to handle situations like these,” a spokesperson tells BBC News. “That’s why you’ve got more than one pilot in a cockpit.”
