A passenger landed a twin-engine plane with six passengers in Florida after the pilot passed away. The FAA officials said that the pilot passed after the plane left Naples on Sunday April 12. The plane was on autopilot and rising in elevation at the time of death. The passenger who took over has a license for single engine aircraft but is not certified to fly a King Air.
With the help of air traffic control and a friend from Connecticut who knows the the landing instructions, the plane landed in Fort Myers. It had been headed to Jackson, MI.
