For those who heard about the story of the passenger landing a King Air after the pilot died at the controls, (http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/04/13/florida.plane.emergency/) 

  

The FAA has now posted the ATC audio of the controller talking the passenger (who was, in fact, a licensed pilot but only certified for single-engine aircraft) down. 

  

It's pretty compelling stuff and includes this exchange: 

  

ATC: Is the Autopilot on? 

Passenger: Good Lord, I'm hand-flying the airplane. 

  

The audio lives here:
