Air traffic controller Robert Morgan – who is also a flight instructor – told CNN that the passenger on board the plane from the Bahamas was very calm. He told the man to follow the coast and then guided him to a safe landing in Palm Beach.
“Lots of Adrenaline”
“I felt like I was regarding to cry because I had so much adrenaline pumping,” Morgan said. “I was really happy that it worked out and that nobody got hurt.” The “Washington Post” reported, citing the US aviation authority FAA, that the pilot may have had medical problems.
Two people were on board the Cessna 208 machine registered in the US state of Connecticut. Local broadcaster WPBF – which also showed a video of the landing – reported that Morgan had 20 years of experience as a controller and around 1,200 flight hours as a flight instructor.
