The passenger aboard his single-engine Cessna 208 told air traffic authorities that the pilot had "gone incoherent."

"I have no idea how to fly the airplane."

When the call came in from the jet departing from the Bahamas, Air Traffic Controller Robert Morgan, a trained flying instructor, was on a break.

Morgan discovered that the caller had never flown a plane but had been around aviation and had seen other pilots fly.

"He was really calm," Morgan said. "He said, 'I don't know how to fly. I don't know how to stop this thing if I do get on the runway.'"

"I don't know how to fly"

Morgan has never flown a Cessna of this sort before. He drew out a diagram of the instrument panel's arrangement and began walking his new learner through each step.

"Try to follow the coast either north or southbound. We're trying to locate you."

They worked together to get the Cessna to land on the runway, which takes around 20 hours to learn with traditional flight training.
