A rather strange story . . . headline makes it sound like he fell asleep but story says he blacked out and was unconscious for 55 minutes. And the plane kept flying? I wouldn't think a student pilot would be on autopilot.

wow i guess he got bored??
he should have taken a nap before flying back
SOUNDS like someone either LIED on the medical form, OR, had unknown and unfounded medical problem/problems. too bad he had to go out like this.
