Take a listen to a fascinating audio of a very calm, cool and collected low-time private pilot taking control and landing a King Air 200 (N556DW) twin-engine turboprop with the help of Fort Myers controllers and others after the pilot became incapacitated (and later was declared dead) on climb-out from Marco Island Executive Airport in Florida on 12 April. Thanks to "beechsundowner" on LiveATC.net for providing the recording, split into two parts here as YouTube can only handle a 10min maximum clip. The FAA also has posted tapes of the incident on its web site.
