An experienced pilot in Australia nodded off at the controls and ended up flying 110 km southeast of his intended destination, an inquiry has found.
The aircraft was flying at 11,000 ft., about 53 km from Sunshine Coast Airport when air traffic control lost contact with the pilot for at least 40 minutes. They diverted nearby aircraft to intercept the Cessna and alert the pilot but failed to receive a response, according to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau.
