jet airliner became incapacitated during a domestic flight but the plane landed safely after an off-duty pilot stepped in to help, authorities said on Friday.
The Transportation Safety Board said the incident occurred on June 7 during a 2,115 km flight to St. John’s from Toronto. “The first officer became incapacitated during the flight. A deadheading captain assumed the crew member’s duties and landed the aircraft without further incident,” the TSB said in an e-mailed statement. “Emergency medical services met the aircraft at the gate.”Air Canada did not respond to a request for comment.
The TSB did not identify the plane. According to Air Canada’s website, the carrier generally operates the flight with an Airbus A-220 twin-engine airliner, which can carry around 140 passengers.
