Air traffic audio reveals likely cause of mysterious U.S. aircraft N900NK that crashed into ocean

We’ve just published air traffic control audio and analysis of what happened to the private turbo prop aircraft that crashed yesterday after the pilot became non-responsive. The transcript of the audio is shown below, and you can hear the full audio in this YouTube video. It’s clear from the audio that the pilot lost consciousness some time after noticing a problem that prompted him to attempt a descent to 18,000 feet. He never completed the descent, however, and he seemed to be suffering from confusion — a common symptom of hypoxia (lack of oxygen). At one point he became concerned about his plane’s reserve fuel supply and was cleared to land at “Taylor,” but he was unable to comply. With the pilot non-responsive, the aircraft left Atlanta airspace and flew directly toward Cuba. It crossed Cuba and then crashed into the ocean soon after, presumably due to fuel starvation of the engine (running out of fuel). Hear the edited audio here:
