Passenger guided to Humberside Airport after pilot gets ill KIRMINGTON, England, Oct. 9 (UPI) -- A man with no experience who landed a light plane in England after the pilot became ill Tuesday did a good job, an instructor who helped talk him down said. While Humberside Airport in Lincolnshire prepared for an emergency, the passenger landed the plane without mishap, the BBC reported. Once the airport learned the pilot of the small plane had become too sick to function, it brought in two instructors to help guide his passenger. Roy Murray, an instructor at a Humberside flying school, said the passenger had no flying experience. Murray said the plane finally came down on the fourth attempt. "He made quite a good landing actually," Murray said. He didn't know the layout of the airplane, he didn't have lights on so he was absolutely flying blind as well. I think he'd flown once before as a passenger but never flown an airplane before. The plane had taken off from Sandtoft Airport about 25 miles away. Humberside Airport closed roads around the field and had firetrucks and emergency workers standing by. Two commercial flights, one from Aberdeen, Scotland, and the other from Amsterdam, were delayed by the emergency.
