Captain of the flight
The captain of the Lufthansa flight that experienced a critical incident on February 17, 2022, was forced to manage an emergency situation when he had to leave the cockpit briefly, leaving the second pilot alone, who subsequently lost consciousness. Thanks to the autopilot, the aircraft continued to fly safely during this period, but upon realizing the gravity of the situation, the captain attempted multiple times to return to the cockpit and ultimately decided to land the plane in Madrid for medical assistance.
