American Airlines Pilot died in flight. REAL ATC 

They are all qualified pilots who have done enough training to fly the thing. There's no real such thing as a co-pilot, the co-pilot is also a pilot. It's not like some random flight attendant or passenger had to land the thing.

Echo this. Much of all I could think about was how stressful it would be for the co-pilot now having to handle everything (in and of itself, stressful but trained for) but add that to the fact you just had your colleague die, which would add emotions that you just couldn't train yourself for. Did well, RIP the captain.

Do you mean the first officer?

@@BigSkyCards23 yes the correct term is first officer.

@@orestes1984 i was being half serious and half sarcastic just to mess with him, i forgot a 😂

At this point, he almost certainly is.

Quite stupid comment, every pilot in the cockpit is captain, you can rotate it as you wish in all directions, but it should be ideally like this in normal airline

@@vladimirassalukas6726 Yeah no. A First Officer is not a Captain. Captain does not equal pilot flying. A Captain can and will perform pilot monitoring duties, but still remains PIC.

Right, "God bless" him even though apparently "God" didn't let him live... Classic religious logic.

absolutely ... Captaincy is forthcoming !!!

absolutely ... Eternal Blessings are yours Captain !!!

Ain't not Godspeed, just an extraordinary human being, There is only one God, only one.

Exactly. He died in uniform doing a job he was probably proud of. You want to die in a nursing home?

How dare you assume he is flying among angels he may have been a sinner

@@sarahann530 he who casts the first stone....we are all sinners from the day we were born. No person is perfect.

@@davem9445 Why are we sinners from the day we are born ? I call bullshit on that unless you can provide evidence to back up your claim .

@@sarahann530 Because he's read the Bible and believes what is there.. You're just here to argue. If you want the truth however, John 3:3 Jesus states unless you are "born again" you cannot see heaven. This obviously refers to salvation and why many of faith refer to themselves as "Born Again Christians". If they were not "Born Again", (ie, only their natural birth), then as Jesus stated they will not see heaven. This clearly means we are all born sinners.

@@Ken-xv4sb I have read the bible and dont believe what is there because there is no evidence to support it . I am here to ask him and you what evidence you have to support your opinion that the bible is to be believed ? What does god do with the Billions of people that are not "born again " are they all sent by their all loving god to be tortured forever ?

THANK YOU! Seeing far too many empty-headed comments whi have no idea what they are taking about.

That happened at 2015 AD

You know incident took place in 2015 right. And where is your source that pilots are dropping like flies?

This is when I teared up. That FO had the toughest situation to handle - and did it with absolute class and dignity that no doubt his Captain would have been proud of. 💗

In all likelihood, he was just looking up the correct number.

He established himself on final for the active runway almost immediately. You need to land into the wind. He acted as soon as possible.

He needed to descend from cruising altitude. He got down as quick as he could.

First class job by the FO for sure.

just imagine the trauma the fo had to experience to see his captain just go incapacitated right then and there

God Bless the Captain / and 1st officer good communication/ ground control good teamwork guys did a great job trying to get help for Captain / sorry to hear he passed

Prayers for the family of the pilot that diied he enjoyed flying now he is in the sky with the angels god be with the family and peace with them and love always

@@jasonaraga7710 we can only hope he's a sociopath or psychopathy so he's spared that trauma.

Not to mention lowly single engine land types love to get a chance at the throttle of a heavy… we’re on board too. RIP to the Cpt. Was close friends with the flight crew TWA flt 800….

A pilot but can’t grasp basic English?

@@ozbolli a human but lacks basic decency?

Don’t come at me with that garbage.

@@chawkz soy boy

Little known fact, while the FO and ATC did the heavy lifting, the lead flight attendant was also key in this successful landing. Once a pilot is incapacitated, they will enter the flight deck, attempt to render aid, if possible, and ride in the jump seat the rest of the flight, assisting with checklists and maintaining some level of normalcy. RIP to the Captain, so close to retirement.

Prayers are worse than useless.

@@MichaelKingsfordGray settle down hitler. Let people have their meaningless good feels even if brought on by a lie.

@@MichaelKingsfordGray how are they worse than useless? If you don't believe in them, they're literally nothing. No harm is caused by them.

@@ericanderson4441 Double-blind studies on the recovery of hospital patients has repeatedly shown a negative outcome, if the patients knew that they were being prayed for! And a null outcome if they didn't. That is the very definition of "worse than useless". REAL Harm WAS caused by the delusional superstition.

❤️

For many an unfortunate flight, my bet is that many wish they could have!

I’ve heard about that in regards to quite a few incidents. Basically when a pilot declares a mayday, they pretty much own the sky. ATC will move heaven and earth to give that pilot what he needs. Airspace will be cleared, all other flights will be diverted or put into holding pattern and the pilot will be given his total choice of what airport and runway he wants and he’ll most likely have all the emergency services waiting for him when he touches down. I have immense respect for both pilots and ATC.

Well, as it should be.

You are thinking of VASAviation. He had it posted right away and that may be why it is less complete. PFP for this was stolen from him as well I think…

Thankfully there will never be a situation (outside of a chartered flight) where you will only have one pilot in a plane flying commercially... Think Island hopping in Hawaii for example, and this will be a small single engine plane. In the private jet world there are multi engine planes that can be flown single pilot, BUT this is usually for private PART-91 operation of said jets.

@@scottcol23 Little less complicated than that. Aircraft over 12500 pounds of maximum t/o weight must be operated by 2+ pilots, part 91 or not. as for the automation comment, pilot factor/error is by far the #1 cause of aviation accidents, if the situation here went south it could have become one of them. I think autonomously operated commercial aircraft is an appropriate next step in maximizing passenger safety, although i’d be surprised to see it happen for at least a good few decades.

@@floridaflyboy7 Im sorry but I cant agree. You will find ATC recordings here on youtube with flight computers going down on modern commercial jets and pilots forced to handfly the aircraft. I am an engineer by profession and I can promise you as long as you have electronics there will always be break downs. Always. Even the most robust flight computers, sensors, communication cables, they will in time break.

@@danielkarlsson7021 not picking a side here, because this “back and forth” about pilotless planes is a tale as old as time (or at least since the 80s lol). The “max” standard of safety that can be reached in my opinion would be a mix of well trained humans that are proficient in stick ‘n rudder flying and well designed computers with redundancies coming together. But at the end of the day, aviation is a business just like any other. No matter how you look at it, money drives it-the commercial sector especially. With airlines, and corporations in general, they don’t care if it’s truly safer, they care if it’s cheaper. Unions exist for a reason. OSHA exists for a reason. To put it simply: “If they could, they would”. Just my 2 cents. Im not worried about that whole pilotless plane thing cause not all of my eggs are in one basket, and despite that I’d argue we have a good deal of time. For once the speed of regulations changing will benefit us! All jokes aside, to anyone worried about abandoning their dreams of flying cause of the “robot takeover”, don’t worry bout it. Go to a local airport and that concern will be hard to find amongst others. I’m happy to be able to begin a career to burn holes in the sky :)

The never have just one pilot on commercial flights only charter flights.

We can have two captains here in US. One of them is PIC, how else he would refer to him?

Dead or alive, he was still the pilot in command of the flight and that's how the first officer was going to call him. What did he have to change the captain's role to?

Calling him the Captain is not past tense. He WAS the captain is past tense. If i was ATC & heard "The captain" i would assume he was alive. The F/O stated he was unresponsive not dead. I could understand why he might want to use the word "Dead". I am suprised he didn't check for a pulse & advise ATC. This information would be of great help to the first responders.

@@helpstopanimalabuse8153 pilots aren't trained to check pulses and make pronounce people dead. What drugs on you on?

@@jasonMB999 I am a para-medic ambo. The more informaation that we have about the patient before we get to Physically see them can mean the difference between life & death. I have 2 children 4 & 6 & they know how to check a pulse. It takes literally 3 seconds. If apilot was incapacited but still had a pulse we could plan for the treatment by having the defibulator charged & ready & BTW they are trained in CPR during their training school. Lets leave this one to the experts buddy. Thanks for your comment, i am always up for a bit of a Pow-Wow.

Good call out. RIP

How he died doing what he loved most, he didn’t die in a crash, flying wasn’t his cause cause of death

Yeah they have to love what they do, given how hard and expensive it is to become a commercial pilot.

These “fire guys at airports” would seemingly be trained in not just any old first response but in an airplane-specific context… shouldn’t they know these things as part of protocol?

Agree- disturbing that ground assured the co-pilot they had a way to get on the plane quickly at the de ice THEN called command and asked if they had a way to get on board quickly or need to go to gate! Wtf. 😳

Guys, I hope I can help here. Diverting from the de-ice pad to the gate was a good call, this allows a simpler transition with a gurney. If a gate is available, this scan actually be faster. I spent years on the ambulance, former captain. This video does not have detail on the logistics involved. The fire crew has no other priority other than the medical emergency. In this case, getting advanced care to the captain was the priority, I assure you. Common sense? Indeed. they did their best, I can assure you. Time is money, as they say. Going to the gate is the best routine. Offloading passengers in a timely matter is the goal. The choice to go to the gate was best. Bringing a stair to the aircraft, and loading to the ambulance and medics, may have taken much longer.

@@robertborchert932 Agreed. Trying to evac a patient down the stairs - especially if they're sick (e.g. CPR in progress) is a bear. Can run a code in the jetway if needed, lots more room.

@@janvandenbos2476 exactly! I spent a few years in emergency transport, both in high tops and modular ambulances. The most advanced gurneys were the Strykers...and powered ones weren't in the market back then. On the field at an airport, you cannot simply light her up and roll where you wish, the taxiways are meant for big birds that cannot see you, it requires clearance and coordination...and delays. Stairs? Oh, my. Where do I start?

Was he recently vaccinated?

@@CaliSteve169 Funny, but good question.

@@greggstrasser5791 both of you do realise that this incident was 7 years ago at this point right

@@LumaControl So you're saying the guy wasn't vaccinated & was trying to infect everybody on the plane? I can't tell if you're serious since you can't capitalize, punctuate and misuse numerals.

@@greggstrasser5791 I do not quite get what you're trying to say with this comment. Seen as how youtube is rather informal, the use of punctuation and capitalisation is omitted rather often. What do you mean by "misuse of numerals"? I could not mention both of you in a single comment, because I was on a mobile phone. I meant both you and Steve Vassilev. I was not entirely sure what the "vaccinated" comment was about, but the only two explanations I could come up with were either Steve being concerned about side effects of vaccines being a cause of death, or covid, because there were no major diseases spreading over the entire earth at the time. Seen as how the incident covered in this video took place around 7 years ago, before covid (october 2015, which I have rounded up to 7 years instead of 6 and a few months).

He died, though. RIP.

@@wintercomesearly She was talking about the first officer, not the captain. The first officer, the one who landed the plane after the captain passed. FO= First officer or co-pilot, in layman's terms.

no shit

@@DrTom1946 I'd like to see your numbers. Especially for this case, as it happened in 2015...

@@NekiCat But...but.. Fox News told him so.

Let it go Tom. Not everything has to be politized 24/7

Yes, especially since they inject them with products in the experimental phase, this is not the first incident of this type, and it will not be helas the last. There is no need to see the 2021 health report, on the American army.

Well we can start by paying him respect, using the correct title: First Officer.

@IDunno Anymore All co-pilots are professional. Should they all be promoted?

@@Redridge07 At airlines, promotions to Captain from First Officer are based strictly on seniority per union contracts.

@@steven2145 so what? Not my concern. Your reading comprehesion is very poor.

Yea but that was before vaccines

@@kriszellers9718 You people love being dopey

@@kriszellers9718 what the fuck does that have to do with anything

@@kriszellers9718 that incident in the video was 2015

@@kriszellers9718 what an ignorant comment..

There is also the possibility that the first officer had the flight attendants remove the captain from his chair and had him moved into the forward galley to be given first aid. I suppose it’s possible that after touchdown he moved to the captain seat to steer it on the ground.

That’s not exactly how that works. Upgrading to Captain from first officer is based on how long you’ve been at that airline and how many hours you have. Once those requirements are met you can be put in for an upgrade but it’s also seniority based. So a 5 year person will get trained before someone who’s been there for 2

@@venessapurefoy8336 , l totally get what you're saying. I just had no idea how long the gentleman had been a co-pilot, and he's someone l'd prefer in the Captain's seat rather than some l've seen that shouldn't be.

He had a history of heart problems.

Gods are fictional.

I think it was clear to the FO.

Yeah. Otherwise he would have been more emphatic about medical services I think.

Depends on the aircraft. Most Airbus have a tiller on both sides, many Boeing aircraft do not. There is limited steering that can be done with the feet, but that is mostly for small corrections on the runway and taxiways, much like you do on the highway to keep in your lane, it won’t make sharp turns required to park. Small light aircraft are steered almost exclusively by feet.

Any scenario like this is a rapidly evolving situation. So what appears to be confusion to observers after the fact, is often best response based on information available at the actual time.

@@rogerjones9984 I'm not being sarcastic here, but my question is - how would they have gotten to the pilot if they parked on the de-ice pad?

The pilot of United 811 said it best, "I'll have time to think about that latter, right now Ive got a job to do". He recalled saying this to himself as he was trying to keep his 747 airborne, with a huge hole in the fuselage, and 2 engines destroyed, when the thought of how upset his young daughter would be if they crashed came to his mind. Panic kills, its that simple. And today isn't a good day for that.
