On 30 September 2018, an Airbus A319 Captain had to complete a flight into Glasgow on his own when the First Officer left the flight deck after suffering a flying-related anxiety attack. After declaring a PAN' to ATC advising that the aircraft was being operated by only one pilot, the flight was completed without further event. The Investigation found that the First Officer had been “frightened after the same Captain had been obliged to take control during his attempted landing the previous day and had “felt increasingly nervous during his first Pilot Flying' task since the event the previous day.
