Nearing Sturgeon Bay, the plane began to sputter, and the instruments indicated low fuel and that the left engine was dead. Luckily, the air traffic controller calmly talked Helen through redirecting power with the right engine, and this kept the plane stable. 

Remarkably, Helen had managed to fly all the way to the airport and could see the runway. However, she now faced her greatest test; actually landing the plane safely.
