Passenger lands small plane after pilot experiences medical emergency

A passenger successfully landed a small plane on Friday after the pilot had a medical emergency, the Federal Aviation Administration said. 

The twin-engine Beechcraft King Air 90 was traveling from Henderson Executive Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada to Monterey Regional Airport in California, with a pilot and one other person on board, the FAA said. 

The pilot suffered an unspecified medical emergency while flying, the FAA said, forcing the passenger to take the controls and make an emergency landing at Meadows Field Airport in Bakersfield, California.
