Passenger with No Flying Experience Lands Plane After Pilot had Medic...

I've got a serious situation here. My pilot is gone. I have no idea how to fly the airplane, but I'm standing at 9100. The voice you're hearing is not a pilot, but a passenger radioing for help. Audio captured from live ATC details the communications between the plane, a Cessna Caravan, and the control tower at Fort Pierce in Florida. 333 Lima Delta, roger. What's your position? I have no idea. He was close to Florida in front of me, and I have no idea. Air traffic controller Robert Morgan was on break from working in the tower. Morgan is a 20-year veteran controller, but also a certificated flight instructor with 1,200 hours flying experience. What was the situation with the pilot? He is in coherent. He is out. 333 Lima Delta, roger. Try to hold the wings level and see if you can start descending for me. Push forward on the controls and descend at a very slow rate. Controller Morgan had not flown the specific type of plane, so he pulled up this photo of the layout of the instrument panel and talked the passenger through it step by step. I knew the plane was flying like any other plane. I just had to keep him calm, point him to the runway, and just tell him how to reduce the power so he could descend to land. Data from FlightAware shows the flight's path. The first challenge to controllers, locating the flight and pointing the passenger-turned-pilot to the airport. 333 Lima Delta, maintain wings level and just try to follow the coast, either north or southbound. We're trying to locate you. Morgan's instruction paid off, guiding the flight to a landing at Palm Beach. Aviation experts call it a remarkable feat that left other flights listening in stunned, including a commercial pilot waiting for takeoff. Did you see the passengers landing on the airplane? That's correct. Oh my gosh. Great job. No flying experience.
