Passenger, Turned Hero!
A passenger boarding Super King Air twin-engine turboprop in Florida turned out to be a hero, in one of the dangerous scenario. He was traveling with his family, when the pilot of the plane had died, immediately after taking off from Naples airport and climbing toward 10,000 feet. The passenger who took over to land the plane safely, held a license for single engine planes only. The Miami Centers air traffic control helped the passenger in controlling the plane, by giving instructions. The encouraging words of the air traffic controllers helped the passenger to control and land the plane safely and thus proving his heroism.
