Air traffic situation – Pilot is unable to act (click here) Today there was a HiSky Airbus A321-271 with registration YR-WIN on flight H4474 from Dublin / Ireland (DUB) to Chisinau / Moldova (KIV), leaving 12:45am, when the crew switched emergency code 7700 almost 20 minutes after the start in Dublin because one of the pilots had suddenly become unable to act.
The plane was then immediately redirected to Manchester / UK ( MAN ), where the sick crew member was transferred to medical care after landing. About 14 hours after landing in Manchester, the plane started again with an exchange crew for the onward flight to Chisinau, where it landed safely without further incidents.

No one in their right mind can claim that the number of pilots on the flight deck having a medical emergency is normal so what on earth could be the cause? Shush, don't mention the obvious truth. Where did I read of late that some airlines were considering going with one pilot because of a shortage of pilots? https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexledsom/2022/11/21/airlines-move-to-have-one-pilot-not-two-in-cost-cutting-solution/?sh=29f208c94bc4

Thought if the Dennis Quaid movie, “On A Wing And A Prayer”, based on a true story but involved a King Air not an Airbus….

More pilots with heart ailments are taking to the skies sunce the FAA relaxed the required PR intervals on EKG’s, by about double.

Yeah, we know a pilot he’s 51 years old and all of a sudden he couldn’t see. He has some kind of brain malignancy not cancer but serious anyway.
