What Happens If Both Of A Flight’s Pilots Fall Asleep?

Flying can be tiring enough for passengers, but pilots must be alert while at the helm. Recently, there have been several flights where pilots have been caught nodding off. A recent flight on Batik Air is a prime example of this. On a domestic flight in Indonesia, an unscheduled nap resulted in 12 minutes of silence between the aircraft and the Jakarta Area Control Centre.
