W czasie przelotu nad Atlantykiem B747 Lufthansy pierwszy oficer okazał się "niezdolny" do dalszego pilotażu. Załoga poinformowała 264 pasażerów o przymusowym lądowaniu w Dublinie.
Jeden z pasażerów zaoferował swoją pomoc w sprowadzeniu maszyny na ziemię. Obywatel niemiecki, wykwalifikowany pilot, posiadający doświadczenie na danym typie, zdobyte poza Lufthansą.

O ile dziennikarze skupiają się na pasażerze, który "uratował samolot sprowadzając go na ziemię" nas tu bardziej interesować będą przyczyny "niezdolności" FO.

'Hero' passenger helped land plane at Dublin AirportTuesday, November 20, 2012 - 10:08 AM


It has emerged that a passenger helped to land a plane at Dublin Airport early yesterday morning.


The Lufthansa Boeing 747 was en route from New York to Frankfurt with 264 passengers on board when the first officer became "incapacitated" while it was flying over the Atlantic.


Once the crew announced that the plane was being diverted, the passenger asked why, and offered his assistance.


The German national, thought to be a qualified pilot, then helped bring the plane down safely in an emergency landing at Dublin Airport shortly before 6am yesterday morning.


The Air Accident Investigations Unit is examining the incident.


Kevin Doyle of the Evening Herald said that Lufthansa has branded the helpful passenger a "hero".


"The understanding is that the passenger in question was an off-duty qualified pilot who had some experience with a different airline, so he has no connection at all with Lufthansa, but he had flown planes in the past," he said.


"Lufthansa said that they were very lucky to have a man with his qualifications on board at the time."
