Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>A passenger with zero flight experience safely landed a plane in a bizarre incident described only as a \u2018miracle\u2019 in the aviation industry.<\/p>\n

The passenger was on board a small private plane alongside two others, including the pilot, when the heroic incident took place on Tuesday afternoon, May 10, in Florid, United States.<\/p>\n

The an unidentified passenger, however, was forced to take up an additional role of saving lives after the pilot became incapacitated mid-flight.<\/p>\n

According to the audio obtained by CNN, the heroic passenger could be heard telling air traffic control that he doesn\u2019t know how to fly the plane, according to the audio obtained by LiveATC.net.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got a serious situation here,\u201d the unidentified passenger said in the audio. \u201cMy pilot has gone incoherent, and I have no idea how to fly the plane.\u201d<\/p>\n

He was, however, directed to the runway by an air traffic controller at the Palm Beach International Airport in Florida.<\/p>\n

\u201cTry 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,\u201d the air traffic controller can be heard telling the man.<\/p>\n

\u201cTry to follow the coast either north or southbound. We\u2019re trying to locate you,\u201d the control was heard telling the \u2018rookie pilot\u2019 as they shouted instructions on how he could land the plane.<\/p>\n

In additional audio captured by LiveATC.net, another air traffic controller can be heard telling other planes what had unfolded.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou just witnessed a couple of passengers land that plane,\u201d the tower operator can be heard telling an American Airlines pilot waiting to take off for Charlotte, North Carolina.<\/p>\n

\u201cDid you say the passengers landed the aeroplane?\u201d the American Airlines pilot asked. \u201cOh, my God. Great job,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Two people were aboard the single-engine Cessna 208 when the pilot had a \u201cpossible medical issue,\u201d the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement. The condition of the pilot was not immediately known.<\/p>\n
