Air traffic control eventually managed to make contact with the pilot, who landed safely at Parafield Airport in Adelaide, Australia.
A trainee pilot’s decision to skip breakfast could have ended in disaster as he fell unconscious for approximately 40 minutes while flying to Adelaide, Australia.
According to a report from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau , radio control eventually made radio contact when the pilot was flying over water southwest of the city. “The pilot advised that the night prior to the flight he had suffered from a restless night of sleep and was recovering from a mild cold,” the report stated.
The ATSB added that the incident underlined the importance of pilots being able to assess their ability to fly. According to data compiled by Airservices Australia, Parafield Airport was ranked as the third busiest airport in the country by aircraft movements between 2000 and 2015.
