The NBAA honor “recognizes individuals whose actions avoided injury, loss of life, or catastrophic aircraft damage.”

Congratulations Robert Morgan. Big save!

“He (Morgan, the ATC controller) downloaded a photograph of the flight deck to help guide Harrison to a safe no-damage landing at Florida’s Palm Beach International Airport (PBI).”

That is brilliant and very quick thinking - well done Morgan!

And a Link to the event would be a nice addition to the article.
Good Job, Robert Morgan!

How about another story on non-pilot passenger Darren Harrison who learned quickly and landed the plane? There has been little to nothing written about him and his life since the incident. Maybe he will begin taking regular flying lessons!

George: We’ve been having some technical difficulty with our postings. The link to AVWeb’s previous story is actually there in the first sentence (copy and paste: https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/passenger-lands-caravan/) but for some reason not highlighted as normal. If you were cyber-psychic and hovered over the words “took the controls” you would have seen it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Congratulations, Robert Morgan on the award. Your quick thinking turned what could have been a tragedy into a safe landing. As we said in my Army Infantry days long ago, Attaboy!
