Read the full NTSB narrative
SHORTLY AFTER THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED THE AIRPORT, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL PERSONNEL RECEIVED A DISTRESS CALL FROM THE NON-PILOT RATED PASSENGER. SHE STATED THAT THE PILOT (HER HUSBAND) WAS INCAPACITATED BY AN APPARENT HEART ATTACK AND SHE WAS NOT QUALIFIED TO FLY THE AIRCRAFT. WITH ASSISTANCE FROM AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL, THE PASSENGER BROUGHT THE AIRCRAFT BACK TO THE AIRPORT AND LANDED. AS THE AIRCRAFT ROLLED OUT AFTER LANDING, IT DRIFTED OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY AND COLLIDED WITH TWO PARKED AIRCRAFT.
