Depends on why they are unconscious. The a220 ex. Bombardier CS300 has a mechanism that the aircraft automatically drops when both pilots are k.o. due to a cabin pressure list. The aircraft automatically drops to a height in which the pilots can breathe again.

What happens before there was anything like that?

See Helios Flight 522

Interesting question! It has actually happened that a plane has lost both pilots.

That was Helios Flight 522.

A slightly increased noise level was detected in the cabin during previous flights. In tests, a mechanic has put the air supply in the cockpit on manual, but when the test is complete, forget to set the rotary switch automatically again, so the air supply through the turbine bales was no longer rifled. The pilots did not notice it during the following flight and started “Without” pressure cabin and became Ohnmag in the later flight.

In this case, the MCDU has thus removed the multipurpose control and display unit which, before the departure, still receives waypoints, this autopilot. This was also done until the last was reached.

From then on, Flight 522 has turned over Athens circles until the fuel went out and the plane crashed into a field nearby.

If, however, only the pilots, and not the passengers, it is always possible that a passenger or a flight attendant is the plane via Autopilot Notlandet. There are the necessary settings for each airport, which can be easily transferred to the MCDU. Help can be transmitted via radio.

I hope I could help!

Large traffic flyers as well as smaller well-equipped aircraft are able to land fully automatically.

It only needs someone who activates the “Approach Phase” in case of cases and keeps the autopilot in mind.

The “pilot” then only has to set the thrust levers to idle or reverse thrust and, if necessary, manually brake, should the autom. Brake system (Autobrake) has not been activated.

Take a look at Youtube videos about CAT3 Landings or “GARMIN Autoland”. You see how it works.

If the plane does not have all the inputs in the computer that lead it to the Aiport, then not. How is that supposed to happen? If that were obvious, the flight attendants would notice.

Then press the emergency code for the cockpit, the pilots do not react and after a while unlocks the door. Then the Cabin crew can take measures, oxygen masks etc. and pick pilots out of seats. Then put yourself on pilot seat, Mayday spark (not so heavy) and then let yourself be guided by the work menu. Ready.

No

It would continue its route until the last entry point, then continue straight ahead and until the kerosene is consumed.

No, no, no, no, no.

As a rule, this scenario would lead to the aircraft crash.

Outside the cockpit there is usually a third pilot.

Yes, but certainly not on board. Except you speak of Ultra long distance on which a SFO still rolls.

that would crash a passenger will hardly be able to land the bird without help
