This has to be a very rare occurrence, but can you imagine what's going through the student's head?
Kudos to the guys on the ground who talked him down safely.

Excellent outcome for a pilot incapacitation event. We don't know whether the student has flown in small aircraft before; if not, even the more impressive.

Oops!

Just shows how easy this flying stuff really is. The only reason it takes so many students so long to solo is that they have a conscious CFI onboard.

The instructor, Robert Mollard, has been a flight instructor since... August, 2019.

CFI = Conscious Flight Instructor?

Wasn't he warned that students would try to kill him in many different ways.??

Shortest career in aviation history?

Yeah, looks as if he's more of a software development guy.

I've been informed that he actually obtained his CFI certificate way back in April.

In any case, I hope his incapacitation is diagnosed, isn't serious, and that he has a speedy recovery.

He should be grateful there was a student onboard who could save his life!

Tim, it's a blue and white 152 (VH-TFR). There've been several photos posted on Aussie news sites.

LOL!!! And a since of humor to boot!

TOWER: "Tango Foxtrot Romeo, You're doing really really well, you're doing an amazing job"
STUDENT PILOT: "Yeah well, my flight instructor did say that I was the best student he's had".

Heh; what a humble guy. Since the instructor got his flight instructor certificate in April, how many students has he had?

Can’t he be the best even if he’s the first?

Of course that means he’s also the worst.

The controller also did an excellent job.

Things that make you say, "Hummm!"

I was wondering how much percent of student pilots can do this? Handle this type of emergency. It was really a miracle for me.

Good job on both sides of the radio.

So, does this get logged as duel or solo?
