QF804, traveling from Canberra (CBR/YSCB) to Sydney (SYD/YSSY), had landed at Sydney Airport when the pilot became unwell and lost consciousness while taxiing toward the designated terminal jet bridge. Experienced pilots in the cockpit assumed control of the aircraft as the trainee pilot, feeling unwell, applied the brakes shortly before the medical incident occurred.
The flight carrying 113 passengers and eight crew members, including the three pilots, was safely steered toward the T3 gate after the supervising check captain took control of the situation and adhered to the Qantas training procedures. The aircraft taxied safely to the gate, where medical staff arrived on board shortly after passengers began disembarking and treated the incapacitated pilot.
A Qantas spokesperson said in a statement the pilot was receiving treatment and is part of an investigation into the incident.
“Our pilots followed standard operating procedures when one pilot suffered a medical incident following landing in Sydney,”.
“The safety and well-being of our passengers and crew is our priority, and we’re supporting the individual following the incident.”
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau said they are aware of the “pilot incapacitation event” on the flight and were satisfied proper procedures were followed and all steps to assist the pilot and efforts to establish a follow-up plan were in place.
