In the spine’s cooling incident, Lufthansa flight to Spain without a pilot for ten minutes of last year after the co-pilot-which was seen in the cockpit-, the Associated Press reported.
The Airbus A321, which carried 200 passengers, was on their way from Frankfurt to Seville, Spain on February 17, 2024, when the captain was in the toilet and passenger fainted. The aircraft, carrying passengers and six crew members, flew about ten minutes without a pilot in the command of the aircraft, the report continued.
According to a report by the Spanish Commission for Investigation of Civil Aviation and Ciaiac Investigation (CIAAC), the captain tried to unlock the cockpit door using standard and emergency codes, but failed.
During this period, he maintained the autopilot system of the aircraft stable years and averted a possible disaster. The voice recorder in the cockpit captured strange sounds indicating medical readiness, while involuntary co -founder movements were documented when it remained incapable.
Finally, when the co-pilot regained partial consciousness and managed to unlock the cockpit door, the captain was able to re-enter and take control. The plane was then diverted to Madrid, where it landed safely. The common pilot was immediately hospitalized.
Subsequent investigation revealed that co-pilot experienced seizures caused by undiagnosed neurological condition. Ciaiac stressed that such conditions are difficult to identify during routine medical examinations unless the previous symptoms have been reported.
“We ask for understanding that we will not comment on the investigation report,” Lufthansa SCMP said.
