BREAKING:
A Lufthansa flight was left without a pilot at the controls for about 10 minutes after the first officer lost consciousness while alone in the cockpit, nearly overflying its top-of-descent point.
The incident, which just came to public attention following the release of a final report, happened aboard an Airbus A321 en route from Frankfurt, Germany, to Seville, Spain, with more than 200 people on board. Everything appeared normal until roughly 30 minutes before landing, when the captain stepped out to use the bathroom. He told investigators the first officer had shown no signs of distress at the time.
But when the captain returned eight minutes later, he found himself locked out of the cockpit. Investigators later learned that the 38-year-old first officer had unexpectedly passed out while alone on the flight deck. ATC was reportedly unable to reach the aircraft. The aircraft was approaching its top-of-decent point.
The full details only came to light Thursday when Spanish investigators released their final report on the incident.

BREAKING
The US just announced a detailed ATC overhaul, endorsed by the Air Line Pilot's Association. The overhaul will require congressional approval.
The proposed overhaul includes constructing six new control centers, upgrading technology at over 4,600 locations with fiber, satellite, and wireless systems, and replacing 600 aging radars systems. The plan also aims to expand systems that prevent runway near misses. The initiative, described as a leap from 1970s-era radar to modern communication technologies, targets completion by 2028.
While the House Committee estimated costs around $12.5 billion, actual funding needs could be higher, with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy requesting full upfront Congressional funding.
The proposal is endorsed by ALPA, with ALPA President Captain Ambrosi stating " As the primary users of our shared National Airspace System (NAS), we strongly support Secretary Duffy's plan to improve our nation's air traffic control system and improve the safety of our skies.
At the time of posting, NATCA had not issued a comment on the announcement.
