Passenger with no flying experience lands plane after pilot incapacitated
A passenger without any flying experience safely landed a plane at a Florida airport after the pilot became incapacitated. The Federal Aviation Administration was investigating the incident. It was believed the pilot may have suffered a medical emergency.
In a statement, the FAA said two passengers were onboard the single-engine Cessna 208 when the pilot had a "possible medical issue".
One passenger steered the private plane smoothly into Palm Beach international airport. According to LiveATC.net audio, the passenger told air traffic control: "I’ve got a serious situation here. My pilot has gone incoherent and I have no idea how to fly the airplane."
The air traffic controller then asked what his position was. He replied: "I see the coast of Florida in front of me and I have no idea." After four minutes, air traffic control located the plane, which was off Boca Raton. The controller proceeded to guide the passenger through the descent.
In a video obtained by CNN, the plane can be seen landing slowly and smoothly. In a separate recording, another air traffic controller can be heard telling pilots: "you just witnessed a couple of passengers land that plane."

Estrutura do present perfect continuous, não do present perfect simples.

Forma do past continuous.

Forma correta: has + past participle.
🚩 Pegadinha: verbo irregular para muitos alunos — exige domínio da forma do particípio.
(D) ❌ had proceeded
Estrutura do past perfect.
🚩 Pegadinha: confusão entre present perfect e past perfect pela presença de “perfect”.
🧠 Resumo Final
