A passenger aboard a flight from the Bahamas to Florida who successfully landed the plane despite having no flight experience has been pictured.

The passenger - who has not yet been named -  was on board a Cessna 208 Caravan traveling from Leonard M. Thompson International Airport in Marsh Harbor, the Bahamas, on Tuesday when the pilot suffered a medical emergency and fell unconscious.

The man, pictured wearing light-colored clothes and sunglasses, quickly sprang into action and managed to successfully land the plane in a feat that one JetBlue pilot said was 'nothing short of a miracle.'

He was aided by Robert Morgan, an air traffic controller, who printed out a picture of the cockpit controls to to guide the passenger through the steps of flying and landing the plane as he struggled with the navigation system. 

After he successfully landed, Morgan told WBPF, the two embraced on the tarmac of the Palm Beach International Airport in Florida, where they were pictured.

'It felt really good to help somebody, and he told me that he was going to go home tonight to see his pregnant wife,' Morgan told the news station in the aftermath.

Morgan said he was on his break reading a book outside, when he received an emergency call that a passenger with no flight experience was trying to land a flight safely.
