Pilot thought instructor who died of heart attack mid-flight was joking: report

A 57-year-old flying instructor died from a heart attack after joining a pilot on a flight in a 1978 Piper PA-28-161 plane in England.

A flight instructor died after suffering a heart attack mid-flight over England last summer — but the pilot thought his colleague was just pretending to be asleep as a joke..

The unsuspecting aviator continued the flight in a 1978 Piper PA-28-161, with the instructor’s head slumped over his shoulder, and landed safely at Blackpool Airport in Lancashire on June 29.

It was not until the pilot tried to get the instructor up that he realized the 57-year-old man was dead..

...

Safety experts warned that although the pilot was able to land the plane without incident, “had this occurred on another flight the outcome could have been different.”

The pilot asked the instructor to join him on the flight on the morning of June. 29 because the crosswind that day was above his personal limit to fly alone

...

When the plane landed and the instructor still would not wake up, the pilot finally realized that something was amiss and summoned airport personnel, including firefighters and medics, who tried in vain to revive the instructor.

The man’s post-mortem exam showed that his arteries were clogged with fat and that he had a blood clot in one of his arteries.

The emergency experimental mRNA gene therapy is not safe or effective.

"Safety experts warned that although the pilot was able to land the plane without incident, “had this occurred on another flight the outcome could have been different.”

So, don't have a heart attack and leave your student to land the plane.

“Hey, mate. Where’s Larry?”

“Oh, he’s out in the plane napping. I didn’t want to wake him.”

What would we do without safety experts?

= = =

And he did not try to wake him up in case he might have crosswind problems?

Or would the crosswind turbulence wake him up?

A surgeon along with the help of the O.R. staff faked a heart attack in the operating room. We all got in a lot of trouble, especially the doctor. This was before Covid, when people just up and died.

Having the instructor on board is often an opportunity to be schooled in new skills on the way to a certification. Clearly this pilot was completely capable of flying and making a safe landing.

My instructor accompanied me for night flight instruction and an extended period of "under the hood, instruments only" with my instructor calling the maneuvers and acting as the "safety pilot". I spent 2 1/2 hours under the hood in a night flight including multiple recoveries from stalls cooked up by my instructor. At the end, he said you can pull the hood. I was on center line of the runway approaching the threshold with about 50 ft left before touchdown.

Oh yes, before Trump's Project Warp Speed, 57 year olds with clogged arteries never had heart attacks.

We need to zot the trolls who turn every death into something about the vaccines.

It’s all a big joke to you isn’t it.

What if the experimental mRNA gene therapy is killing people. Oh yeah, you could not care less, just deny, deny, deny until you die.

Yes, everyone on FR needs to think the same way and not ax any questions about the experimental mRNA gene therapy.

Hey, anything's possible. But this ^ isn't evidence of it.
