Pilot suffered 'aneurysm' after landing
An Air New Zealand pilot has died days after suffering a suspected brain aneurysm just after landing a 787 flight in Perth.
The pilot operating an Air New Zealand Boeing 787 flight to Perth last Saturday afternoon suffered a serious illness after landing and passed away on Tuesday.
Captain Ann Barbarich landed the flight about 4.45pm last Saturday but collapsed soon after. She died on Tuesday.
The other three captains took over and the 787 was taxied off the runway to the terminal where it was met by Fire and Rescue staff.
Flight attendants called for doctors.
The 787 is normally flown by two pilots but there were four on this flight because it was a check and training flight.
Capt Barbarich was taken to Royal Perth Hospital and the airline flew her family to Perth from Auckland.
One passenger who spoke to The West Australian said that the cabin and flight deck crew handled "a very difficult situation very professionally."
"There was no panic and we hardly noticed anything had happened."
"The approach to Perth and landing was smooth and there was only a slightly heavier braking on the runway than was noticeable."
Death pilots in flight is rare because of the physical condition they must maintain and regular medical checkups required by aviation authorities.
