Analysis
The wife of the plt radioed her husband had become incapacitated. Two flt instructors departed in another acft to assist the non-rated wife, after being contacted by Albuquerque apch control. The flt instructors were able to assist the non-rated wife through radio transmissions until she landed the acft. Even though the acft received substantial damage during the landing, the wife was not injured. Her husband had died as a result of a heart attack in flt. The plt was occupying the left seat when he became unconscious.
