A passenger has made an emergency landing at Humberside Airport after the plane's pilot became ill.
During the flight, the pilot made a distress call when he became so sick he was unable to continuing flying the light aircraft.
Two flight instructors were called in to talk to the passenger from the ground while he took control of the plane, an airport spokesman said.
The man had very limited flying experience and had never landed an aircraft before.
Despite this, he managed to successfully land at the North Lincolnshire airport just after 7.30pm.
"The passenger flew over the airport a couple of times and then was talked down by two flight instructors and the emergency services were waiting for them when he landed safely," the airport spokesman said.
Details of the pilot's condition are not known at this stage, police said.
The light aircraft took off from Sandtoft Airfield, near Doncaster, for training with one passenger.
