A passenger with no flying experience has made an emergency plane landing in Florida after the pilot experienced a medical episode

The flight that departed the Bahamas in what should have been a short journey to the Treasure Coast, took an unusual turn after the pilot became incapacitated.

The passenger was then forced to make a bumpy emergency landing at Palm Beach International Airport.

Flight logs show that the plane began to deviate from its route just over 100 kilometers out from its original destination.

In an emergency call from the air, the passenger struggled to describe his whereabouts to traffic control.

The aircraft that was heading north over Boca Raton was eventually located and with the help of multiple air traffic controllers, guided to safety.

The passenger is yet to be identified and the condition of the pilot remains unknown.
