A passenger safely landed a King Air (N559DW) at Southwest Florida International, Fort Myers, FL, after the pilot died at the controls. Federal Aviation Administration officials say the pilot died after takeoff from an airport in Naples, FL on Easter Sunday with a total of four people on board. The plane had been headed for Jackson, MS. The passenger who took over is licensed for single-engine general aviation aircraft, but had never flown the larger twin-engine turboprop. An air traffic controller helped the passenger down by calling a friend in Connecticut who flies a King Air and relayed landing instructions to the substitute pilot. The controller’s pilot friend got out his flight checklists, manuals and cockpit layout sheets, providing landing instructions to the controllers involved who then relayed that information to the passenger flying the King Air. The passenger-turned-King Air pilot was able to safely land the aircraft on the first try.
