Captain Robert Piché

Captain Robert Piché made international headlines after an emergency landing of a flight, Toronto- Lisbonne, that ran out of fuel over the Atlantic Ocean with 304 people on board.

Captain Piché was in command of a A-330 Airbus carrying 291 passengers and 13 crew members. He was forced to perform an emergency landing without engines in the Azores, Portugal.

After 18 minutes of gliding Captain Piché and his crew managed a successful landing. This endeavor is considered to be the greatest achievement in the world of modern aviation.

Those who knew Captain Robert Piché instantly reacted the same way when they heard radio and TV reports that the pilot of an Air Transat Airbus A330 had just made an emergency landing in the Azores after running out of fuel - and that all 291 passengers and 13 crew members were safe and sound. None of them were surprised to hear that he was the pilot on flight TS-236 because he was no stranger to turbulence.

Inspiring Speaker: When the impossible becomes reality

Inspiring speaker

When the impossible becomes reality!
Captain Piché's exploit is considered by many to be the greatest achievement of modern aviation. He faced a life or death situation with his crew, his own skills and his flying experience.

As he says since, he only did his job!
True, but what are the factors that allow one to avoid a disaster in such a situation?

Captain Piché's keynote explains how he managed to succeed with only 30% of the plane's capacity instead of worrying about the 70% that he had lost. Amazing things can be achieved through belief and determination. Captain Piché is an inspiration to all audiences.
