This video definitely shows how that training helps everyone be prepared and calm, and thus avoid making critical mistakes that could make the situation so much worse.

I remember working at telephone switch board in the army. I got a radiocall from the training field requesting to be forwarded to the medic center. They didn't answer. Then because the commander on the radio was so calm, I kept trying for a pretty long time. Days later, I learn that the person with whom I was talking on the radio, was injured by an accidental detonation of explosives. If I knew about the severity, I would imediatly have involved other parties to assist, as I had firedepartment in the next room, and MP and gate guards in the next building, they would have had vehicles, and been able to drive over to the medic center. Thinking back on how I think I should have responded differently: I think the responce from ATC should have been to: get the plane on the ground, and have paramedic stand by the runway, not to waste time taxi to the gate. Still I Understand it can be difficult to grasp the severity of a situation when the person calling in is that calm. When an aircraft has to return because the pilot is out, it might be that miute and seconds count. Just like a request for medic center from the army training field, where the handle explosives and weapons, should be considered emergency, unless stricly informed that it is not urgent.

It applies in language to. I suggest you learn it. As to your negativity. Venissia Johnson is correct. Your comment had cherry picked a piece of her comment and attacked it out of context of the original meaning and way she used it. You took a message of mourning and understanding and trampled all over it. This is very negative. A mistake is understandable, in fact I am not entirely sure your first comment can accurately be described as being negative because of it. But you didnt stop there when corrected and having it clarified. Instead you doubled down. Furthering your own negative input on the matter. Her comment wasnt even conveying any "truth" about heaven, but rather making a pleasing feel good wordplay with a bit of lighthearted humor and respect. Thus your follow up comments are no more than nonsensical nitpicking and serves no purpose other than to pointlessly attack. Rather you realize what you are doing before or not, now you cannot remain wholly ignorant of it after its been pointed out. I, by extension, am actually feeding into your negativity by explaining this at all. But despite appearances, I truly do believe you have no idea of what you are saying and you are not a simple troll.

As an EMT this is pretty confusing to me. I am very impressed by the professionalism of the pilot under these circumstances. Not many people come into the situation that someone dies right next to them, especially not coworkers and by far not in a situation where you HAVE TO manage so many things at the same time. And the person that died minutes ago is still sitting next to you for about 25 minutes I guess. This must be a horrific situation. I guess that the brain just switches from normal mode into an "just function and work on what happened later"-mode. But I wonder why Cpt. Ford was still in his seat the whole time. I would have expected that he was removed from the seat and given first medical treatment or resuscitation-efforts by medical trained crew members or if available medical trained passengers. I guess there are reasons for that. Could someone clarify?

Pilot did great maintaining his composure and getting everyone down safe. RIP Captain.

As a former paramedic, I have had runs to our airport many times. If the pilot suffered a full cardiac arrest, 9.5 of those patients die. Even when everything goes in favor of the patient ie…CPR started, secure airway (intubation) and necessary drugs pushed. I’m sure a passenger who knew CPR, a nurse or even a physician on board was working the pilot. Those patients regurgitate and they would have no way to suction. So very many things need to happen. But if we get a “save” from a full arrest patient, it’s a great day for us. If God wants you home, there’s no earthly power to delay that. Maybe a Doctor/Nurse on board could see he was gone. Air traffic doesn’t allow for that type of message to go out over the airways.

What an amazing display of professionalism in a terrible situation.

In other words, the pilot in training died, the check pilot, despite having a code brown moment, took charge and when a deadheading pilot arrived, had the death confirmed. At that point, no need to hurry for medical, as no medical can fix dead. I've done a Heimlich on my teen at the time daughter, while considering a surgical airway, which is contraindicated at that age, when her airway finally cleared. I've performed CPR on my wife of over 41 years, to no avail, she was down too long and what caused it wasn't going away. You do what you have to do, what you've trained to do. Doesn't erase an emotional burden, but it does delay it while you take care of what has to be taken care of and that's one of the hardest lessons to teach others. I've had commanders question if I was a human or robot, I'm human, but I do what's needed at that moment, later, I'll mourn or otherwise emotionally respond. Later, in war, well, that came in handy. Now, excuse me while I clear your net. It's coming up on a year after my wife died, so I'm going to get a bit drunk.

You all seem to forget that cabin crew are onboard and are trained in emergency first aid. They might have been performing CPR while they were stopped. Taking an incapacitated pilot from his seat is no easy task, unconscious people are heavy as hell, and you have to be careful not to drag his feet all over the controls. It takes time. And if the guy had a sudden cardiac arrest, he was probably beyond saving by the time they landed.

Really liked the way you did the graphics...Made it much more clearer than other aircraft videos out there

Moving the captain from the left seat must have been double tough. Moving a limp body isn't easy, let alone with all the stuff in a cockpit to snag on.

This happened during a landing on the plane I was on about 18 months ago. Plane came into land, very rocky, something not right, slammed on the brakes, blue lights everywhere. When we were finally allowed off after a long wait, the airline management team and police lined up on the air bridge, First Officer was very badly shaken up laid out being given oxygen. I looked in the cabin as we got off and Captain slumped in seat with Dr attending.

So sorry to hear about the Captain and all prayers to his family. I like to think he passed doing what he loved most! Such an amazing and professional job by the tower and co-pilot.

That was very moving. Well done pilot in the right seat.

At around 6:00 it sounded like he was gonna ask how the paramedics would get him from their current location before just deciding to wait to taxi.

Sorry for the loss of your pilot Captain Ford, prayers are with his family. At this difficult time.

I agree - this shows the importance of having two people in the cockpit. Safety should come first. Cost-cutting is fine, but carried too far and people can die. I’m also surprised only the left seat has the ground control wheel.

Also shows the professionalism of air traffic control. Predictable, almost robotic, and much needed. Pivoting from routine to the unexpected as part of their normal operations.

It always amazes me when I see videos like these, how calm everyone is throughout

I got my first flying lesson just last year. The whole way to the airport I had these horrifying versions that “what if my pilot goes unconscious?” I wouldn’t even know how to tell ATC let alone land the thing.

Amazing! This is exactly why we must maintain a minimum of two pilot status in the cockpit.

Condoleances to the family of the deceased captain and hats off the captain who took charge. The ATC grey screen with the planes moving all over the place gives me the jitters...

He didn't have a way to unload him from the aircraft if on the runway, so the patient was moved and then the plane was taxied to the gate. A lot of minutes were taken that could have been avoided if they had a way to unload a patient. Am I correct in this assertion? That's how it seems to me.

Lots of pilots have military experience and have been extensively trained to continue to function mentally and physically when this occurs. So much respect for military men and women.

I don't think people realize how serious this is. A pilot having any kind of medical issue puts the airplane in grave danger, because there's a possibility that they might be in manual control of the aircraft and accidentally do something that the other pilot doesn't have time to correct for.

They don’t realize it by any means. We live in the age of insanity. If a tv channel tells you that any airplane can fly with one pilot and that the first officer’s job is to merely be there as a backup ( as I so often hear)….. what can you do? You simply believe them because you can’t contradict them if you are not a pilot.

And that means full participation and awareness of both flight crew members, with each playing his part accordingly . Common people completely ignore this fundamental rule. As they ignore the fact that if a pilot becomes incapacitated, the operation is cancelled and the aircraft will land at the closest suitable airport, with all associating delays for the passengers.

It’s been shown that sitting for hours on end is absolutely terrible for health, and it’s not even corrected by exercise.

Was this co-pilot reluctant to say that the pilot is dead? He sure was in no hurry to get the paramedics on board.

I cannot fathom how awful this was. Kudos to the other pilot for staying as calm as can be

That is why we do all our training. So sorry for the staff.

I seriously wonder if the captain did not realize a person can be revived minutes after their heart and breathing stops. That's the only thing I can think of that makes sense, but also makes very little sense.

@Saki again, CPR would have no effect. Even in the best circumstances, it fails 90% of the time. To remove the political safely, the aircraft would have had to be completely shut down. Those seats are very close to the console and with the center console, it would be extremely difficult to remove the pilot. You can Monday morning quarterback all you want, but until you are in his situation, you don't know what you'd do. The pilot made the right call and focused on the aircraft and passengers. His first priority is to aviate. To fly the plane safely.

Rest in peace 🙏🏻

Why didnt he get paramedics onto the taxiway after landing??

That's cool. Rest in peace my friend.

What a guy!!That plane was loaded with fuel and people....He is a hero for how expertly and calmly he dealt with the crisis.....

I’ve imagined what I would do in this scenario before and this is more or less my gameplan: Declare emergency (I don’t want any misunderstandings, I need that immediate and priority return) I’ll get the cabin chief in to the flight deck to check on the incapacitated pilot (is he breathing, etc.) If CPR is needed, get him out if the seat and into the cabin. If cabin crew can’t lift him, find a stronger passenger to help. Tell ATC I need ambulance and stairs present at the aircraft when we stop. I’ll emphasis how important that the stairs are there. Get any handling company to bring out stairs or get fire and rescue to bring it, but it needs to be there. I’ll start the APU so I can shut down the aircraft’s engines after landing without losing power and cabin lights. If there is a high speed off ramp I’ll vacate the runway, but if not I’m stopping and staying on the runway (theres a limit to how sharp of a turn you can make from the right seat). After shutting down I expect the stairs to be present and attached to the aircraft immediately. If for some reason the stairs are not there but the ambulance is I’ll deploy a slide and send the body of the incapacitated pilot down to the medics so they can start proper treatment without any unnecessary delay. After that I’ll brief the passengers, check how the cabin crew is doing psychologically (they have been doing CPR on a friend and colleague, they might be traumatised), disembark the passengers when the stairs and bus show up and then get the aircraft towed to a gate/stand. Finally debrief the cabin crew and get them the support they need.

100% agree here. Had there been some interventional medicine once the flight stabilized at 5000ft for the downwind, Capt Ford may have been saved. The fact that the check pilot kept under control was good, there should have been a declared emergency, and those procedures mixed with basic first aid/life support probably would have saved a life. I'd be curious as to why no declaration of an emergency was made.
