A man is forced to land the aircraft at Humberside Airport when the pilot becomes too sick to continue flying the plane.

A passenger has made an emergency landing at Humberside Airport after the plane’s pilot became ill.
During the flight, the pilot made a distress call when he became so sick he was unable to continuing flying the light aircraft.

Two flight instructors were called in to talk to the passenger from the ground while he took control of the plane, an airport spokesperson said.

The man had very limited flying experience and had never landed an aircraft before.
Despite this, he managed to successfully land at the North Lincolnshire airport just after 7.30pm.
Details of the pilot’s condition are not known at this stage, police said.

The light aircraft took off from Sandtoft Airfield, near Doncaster, for training with one passenger.
The man and pilot were the only two people on board the aircraft.

Police and the fire brigade were on the scene shortly after the plane landed on the runway, an airport spokesperson said.- Sky News
