An air traffic controller in the USA has successfully guided a passenger on a private plane to land safely at Palm Beach International Airport in Florida after the pilot was incoherent during the flight Tuesday. According to wpbf.com , citing the FAA, the incident happened at about 12:30 p.m. with a single-engine plane, believed to be a Cessna Caravan. "I've got a serious situation here," the passenger said to traffic control from the cockpit. "My pilot's gone incoherent. I have no idea how to fly the airplane..." When asked where the plane was, the passenger responded, "I have no idea. I can see the coast of Florida in front of me and I have no idea."

The air traffic controller said; "We're gonna try to find you here on the radar." The controller finds the plane and then talks the passenger down to an almost perfect landing below. https://twitter.com/i/status/1524115625144168450
